The point I'm trying to make is recording a tv broadcast requires little effort compared to other projects around here. People request things like this around here all the time. If a project is not your cup of tea, then posting in such a thread is going to be construed as shenanigans.

And since I don't have ESP, I can't anticipate your edits.

Massive amounts of time (and money) were invested in preserving the tv version of Superman. I know because I contributed to that project.

Asking if someone if they could record a broadcast of an alternate version is not unreasonable. It's no different than asking if someone has a rare Laserdisc or VHS. People who've been around this site for more than a few months understand this.

Then ignore the thread, it's that easy!

Okay, the bad behavior ends right now, or somebody is going into the penalty box.

Is the Blu Ray messed up or something?

Carrie is looking good here...

Frink's version is all about the Ric. :)

TPM has a good, well constructed story

 What? There is another version of TPM?

 Frink's version is superior. ;)

The Falcon cockpit set on a gimbal. Whoa! To think they just had stagehands shaking the set on the original film.

They might still be holding something back for the Disney Expo next month.

There is a clip of Things to Come in the documentary SPFX:The Empire Strikes Back, helping to show the history of visual effects before Star Wars.

This same factoid about Things to Come being used originally turns up on the IMDB, so it's may be a case of someone at TCM copying the same info of dubious origin.

Buck Rogers makes more sense, as it's set in the same century THX is set in. And we know George grew up on those serials.

And my full frame print has it too.

Make us proud, Frink. :)

I got dragged to see that when it came out. Were there any prison movie cliches that they didn't use? ;)

And I don't buy that the animal rights crowd wouldn't find out about such a primate facility and burn a place like that to the ground. Nor that a pilot who has a severe hand injury is going to be allowed to fly a jumbo jet.

I grew up on the original POTA films, (it loomed large in my childhood before Star Wars) so I'm probably more than a little biased though.

Oh come on! Nobody is going to want to smoke because of these guys...

....

It would be ironic if they are pretending '97 Weird Science Jabba never existed now.

Did anyone see the epic lightsaber battle on Conan last night? The Force is strong with him! ;)

Works for me!

The original ILM coffee table book covered the early days up to about 1987.

There was a second book in the late 90s covering the digital era. Perhaps that's what you saw?

As I've said before, it would be neat to see the recovered footage used where Moroder had to use still photos.

You'd have to come up with a bunch of new songs, though. That's a -lot- of extra footage we're talking about.

 My initial thought was to cut the footage to fit Moroder's pacing. Extending the existing songs shouldn't be that hard to do, and there's other Moroder and Queen songs that might work for scenes that didn't exist in still form back in '84.

Me too. She and Ackbar had a torrid love affair in the early days of the Rebellion.

And we also need a movie to explain what the heck is up with General Madine's Gumby hair.

A photo I've not seen before of THX on a nice sunny day.

I'd like to know how George kept that tree out of shot. ;)

Sounded like 1977 vintage Vader to me. People sometimes forget the way he sounded before they changed it for the SE.

Disney has released edgier fare for decades under other studio labels, Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures, etc. (Who Framed Roger Rabbit? has always been a Touchstone film, even though Roger has a presence in the theme parks.)  They don't have to put the Disney label on the Star Wars films any more than they do Marvel.

Let Han be the smuggler he always was, and Boba can be a Riddick kind of guy who has a personal honor code.
