He does. In Frink we trust. ;)

That's what I was thinking of. It actually harkens back to The Three Stooges.

Who the heck is Fink?

Okay, the song is growing on me. ;)

I don't like that Grievous scuttle bit either, but if you can make a joke out of it? Does Roberto say bug in any episodes? So Steve can say Look! I'm a bug!

Is there a sound effect when Dr. Zoidberg scuttles?

On multiple viewings, you probably need to show Grevious scuttling off to his vehicle, as he's just magically in it now.

If I can't tell what you cut, you must be doing something right. It works for me. :)

The clones who get in Steve's way need to at least cry out. And Cloney needs to say something when he picks up Obi Wan's saber.

The music really didn't do anything for me though. Maybe use Neverending Story music again, (which would work for the rest of the chase) or since Steve is riding a cherry hog...

I might be interested in the disc, but not if they're going to sell it outside a "safe" environment like Ebay.

I hope they will be able to undo the weathered paint job and heavily scribed hull lines of the last restoration. That was a botch job.

Wish I could find the snapshots I took of the old girl back in the 70's. The IDIC page had some of similar vintage, but it's sadly long gone.

Random thought. Palpatine could say something other than "mentor" in his talk with Anakin?

 Ideas welcome as always. ;-)

 Would it being going too far to have him say boyfriend? Or he could say Wookiee again. ;)

 Been waiting for more Roberto. :)

Could Obi Wan land with a sound effect? The bodyguard droid that gets crushed could say something as they look up, or just scream.

You could also put in cartoony airplane or buzz saw sound effects when Steve starts twirling his sabers.

Another one that's a historical curiosity now. The recomposed for 1.33 version of A Bug's Life. It's a mix of opened up shots, re-rendered scenes where the character's positions have been tweaked, and pan and scan.

I wonder if the 3D Blu Ray has the same ratio?

The information in the replies are great to know. However, it seems most consumers and the powers that be don't seem to care for open-matte.

It's a shame many films are matted before distribution rather than use the technology & options built into players/displays to (soft-)matte (real-time). It's true in some cases PQ would suffer, however in many cases I don't think PQ would suffer too much.

 It seems to be that with Widescreen TVs the consumers tend to want the matted releases to fill their Screen. Also much Open matted filmed movies where intented to be matted for Cinema, but Full Screen movies where cheaper to shoot compared to anamorphic lenses.

USA seems to Tietze only country with Full Screen and additional Widescreen releases in that times for home entertainment, in Germany wie usuelle got either fullscreen (first Time releases, ie. Dawn of the Dead, Cujo and Killing Zoe) or Widescreen releases. Or After a New Master was obtained a Second or third Release using the Widescreen Master. (all newer Dawn of the Dead are Widescreen).

Some Comparisons are up at the DVD area of caps-a-holic.

Top Gun open matte 2:1 vs. 2.35:1

Hellraiser 3 (old german Red Edition DVD Full screen open matte)

Terminator 3 (Canadian Full Screen DVD)

Just to name some...

 The Top Gun caps are quite the revelation. I'm going to have to look at my HD DVD version again sometime. Probably the same as the Blu Ray I would guess...

There is a full frame Top Gun DVD out there.

 Thanks for letting me know. Imma look it up right now.

 The two disc special edition came in widescreen and fullscreen versions.

There have been two fullframe edtions of Predator. I don't know for sure they are open matte though.

Been thinking of picking up the two disc version to get the commentary that's not on the original Blu Ray. I bought the widescreen version years ago, but when I finally opened it, there were two disc 2's in the box!

The same disc? Linky?

I meant prank. Still hung over from my little weekend vacation. ;)

;)

All this talk on tv today about how people like their balls, (hard vs. soft) and not one newscaster cracks up? What is the world coming to? ;)

It's not coke, it's Plutonium Nyborg thank you very much. ;)

The hallucination scene with a wrecked U.S.S Enterprise flying past is one of my favorite shots. I spin the song soundtrack once in a while, and the Elmer Bernstein score is one of my faves.

If you like the movie at all, you have to see the South Park version. If the HM sequel wasn't dead in the water, I think they should be the ones to make it...

They're not closed...

The face could be a little lighter, but the body seems spot on. This is probably a prototype, and hopefully they fix that.

LOL! I didn't even think of that.

Fascinating!

The only reel to reel video recorders I've ever seen in person looked liked they originally belonged to a police dept. or something. There was a pretty scary photo in one of my college textbooks, of someone lugging one of those decks with a shoulder strap. (Attached to an equally bulky camera.) They were considered portable, from a certain point of view. ;)

What luck!

Pity you can't crank call members of the cast, and trick them into saying all the key phrases you need. Perhaps one of us should wear a wire to Celebration. ;)
