Besides "The films need to be the way I want them," has Lucas stated anything as to why the Blu-rays became the travesty that they are?

I would think in theory there must be some undamaged layer of paint they could expose?

As it's become a tourist draw now, do they really want to restore it?

JEDIT:And Kilroy beat me to it. ;)

Info: James Bond - Laserdisc Preservations: 1962-1971
Time

Here's something I've not seen before, Bond movies on 8mm video.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/007-James-bond-Japanese-original-8mm-Video-8-TAPE-/231185527894?pt=US_Movie_Mixed_Lots_Other_Formats&hash=item35d3bb3456

There were quite a few movies released in the U.S. when Sony was trying to compete with VHS on all fronts, but never saw any of these in the states. Wonder if they are letterboxed?

Good thing I don't have a Video 8 deck, or I might be tempted. ;)

Yeah, I've always wanted to see the THX 1138 that George originally made. I will never get to see it. It's almost like George tries to cover up what he sees as mistakes, but when he does it he usually gets poor results.

 You do know there's an LD preservation project around here, right?

Yeah I just saw it on Betamax, got it from that crusty time traveler down the market. BTW video piracy on obsolete recording media via the miracle of technology currently scientifically heretical is still wrong.

 Why Betamax? Why not DVD or even BitTorrent?

When marketing, and not people, make the movies, it will be 100% bad. That actually explains the whole saga really well. I mean, the real episode I was ANH, not TPM!

 Well, Beta does fit into the abdomen more easily than other video formats.

Long Live The New Flesh!
