Does anyone prefer THX1138 Directors cut over the original?
Time

I watched the directors cut of THX1138 about a year ago and was actually blown away by the picture quality and enhancements over the original...

Some people may prefer the original although I saw it on an old VHS tape.

Although Star wars corrections at times are totally questionable do you feel the same way about THX1138... I think Lucas actually improved this one.

Thoughts?

If I were WALTD3000 I would hand out the 3D versions free to cinema managers so they could get buns on seats for a cut price to watch Star Wars films in cinemas as part of the build up to the the sequel trilogy.

The PT is still flawed but it would be positive gesture and could spread the convention buzz to every multiplex in the world.

The Doctor Who anniversary episode is getting a limited 3d cinema release.

You've got to have a gimmick.

Like that's going to happen...

Financial Train wreck incoming

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

On another subject... I watched Jambee Davdars building empire recently...

Although totally unrelated to ESB:Revisited in terms of project base and what Revisited is about.... 

I thought it would make a great special feature bundled with it regarding the making of empire at it's base level before going into any of the teams supplementals and the processes that the film has undergone for revisited.

that way there would be a 2 tier structure... Just another idea perhaps worth considering and being more all encompassing

Providing the space is there on the disk.....

I Just saw this advert and wondered if there could be any use for the Lamda shuttlle shots.. (Leg touchdown especially) and Vader exiting from inside

Explaining the shield generator without explaining it idea

Basically had a thought about being ambiguous about the shield generator... Can you only see the shield at night like the Aurora or northern lights???

Perhaps a quick flash of an image like this for a few seconds while luke is in the taun tauns belly might explain that the shield is only visible when there is no light spectrum making it plausible that it is invisible during the day. And Obviously an animated Aurora. Before the search party, before the next day.

to go one step further to ram the point home cut to a long shot of a transparent glowing Green dome (but subtle) over an ice field....Jedi Mind trick that one

Like this....Illusion now Broken

Erm, I'm lookin at it, and it says Star Wars Begins, meets War of the Stars 2 in my artwork folders.

I'm not one for mocking new artwork at all, but when it looks so clichéd it sticks out like a sore thumb for me, i advise a little more work, usually.

I've made a few of them myself. Black levels are off, calibrate your display mate.

Mind you you dont always see it (dependant on how its set-up).

Double 0, keep up the good work.

That's what I was trying to say about I am crap at computer art or art in general... It was an idea... and I put my hands up that... I am not good at it... I probably would not see it even if it was set up right so far as black levels go...

I don't have a clue but I had an idea

If you want to fix it be my guest but I don't have the skills.. And I did it for revisited not just ESB

Return of the Jedi: Radical Re-Edit (Released)
Time

When I did my extremely rough cut of ROTJ the main point of the edit or what I deemed to be the lynch pin of it was that Luke new and tried to keep it secret she was his sister but failed because of his feelings. It was also about his worries of losing the ones he loved.

Breakdown

1.Ben tells Luke Leia is his sister and to keep it secret as this knowledge could be used against him.

2.When Luke is on the Bridge in Ewok village luke does not reveal that leia is his sister to her and does what Obi-wan told him to do.

3.When Luke was hiding from Vader Leia got shot in the arm outside the bunker... Lukes feelings betrayed both him and leia. Vader learns she is lukes sister before leia knows it.

4. When Vader dies it has more emotional impact that Vader tells Luke "tell your sister you were right about me" it works because he already told Leia Vader is his father but Leia does not realise Vader is her father too at this point.

5. When Luke returns to Ewok village they are wearing the same clothes so it is possible for Luke to reveal to Leia that She is his sister as his father told him to although Luke now says "The force run's strong in my family... I have it and.... My sister has it."

Theres nothing wrong with her being lukes sister, it was just not executed very well... I thought this improved it...Although it is tricky to get right at Ewok village
