THX on 35mm Tech IB preservation - HELP NEEDED (work in progress)
Time

The optimist in me recalls how sometimes TMC inexplicably airs a pan and scan version of Close Encounters once in a while, or the 1.85 version of Brigadoon, which Warner’s is too cheap to include on the Blu Ray it seems.

Maddening to think an untouched HD version of THX possibly sits on tape shelf somewhere.

Sorry, I just got a little fired up. I don’t see how what mfm said could possibly be interpreted as inflammatory and yet here he was being attacked for it by no reason by some guy as if he’d insulted his grandma’s toupee or something.

You’re good. I was commenting on the fact you indirectly quoted the ugly chap who accosts Luke in the Cantina.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m even a Star Wars fan anymore.

Elements from the OT which continue to resonate with me:

  • The visuals.
  • The main protagonists.
  • Luke’s story.
  • The music.

Otherwise, I feel I’ve outgrown it all and probably did years ago. A series about white hat heroes battling black hat villains in a swashbuckling setting just doesn’t hold enduring appeal to someone who constantly wishes in their heart of hearts that Ingmar Bergman had created the films instead.

I feel the exact same way. I think the new Disney marketing blitz doesn’t help. I find it hard now to even think of Star Wars films as real movies because Star Wars as a brand is just everywhere. I think of Star Wars like I think of Sprite or Windex. Just a product.

Good…to be honest I feel that star wars will be remembered while the shit you like will be forgotten much like you

I didn’t even see this one. Damn!

I don’t associate Star Wars with pleasant things anymore. I’m sorry that I feel that way. Oh wait, no I’m not. I think it’s a great film but I just can’t take it seriously anymore.

Don’t let the door hit you on your way out

You’re really married to that phrase aren’t you?
