I saw some DTS discs in a thrift store of all places recently. The type used in a movie theatre. Would these be readable on a PC? Just curious...

Kubrick was listed in the credits of 2001 as director and supervisor of visual effects, so he certainly could have gone up on stage. But I somehow doubt he attended the ceremony...
On a side note, I think I recorded the segment from the Oscars where Lucas got the honorary award from his pal Steven with a little help from the astronauts orbiting in the shuttle that night, who had a little gold passenger floating in the cabin.

Too bad the video doesn't have much then. I was contemplating getting a copy. There would probably be major rights hassles releasing complete award shows from past years. However, I think it might be possible to visit the Museum of Television and Radio in New York or Los Angeles and watch them.

There was a video (and Laserdisc) called "Oscar's Greatest Moments" released in the mid 90's. There's a chance it might have something from the '77 ceremony in it.

Hayden did the best with the script and direction he got. Whether you liked him as Vader or not, it took balls to want to put on that iconic suit and suffer the fanboy baggage that comes with it. It's certainly not at the derserving depths of a razzie award (look at the other nominees!) and it's sure as hell not a supporting role. These razzie guys just lost some credibility in my eyes.

The academy was not for Imperial recruits. It was training for a merchant marine kind of civilian service. Biggs had signed on as first mate of a ship called the Rand Ecliptic. In the shooting script, (and probably the cut scene) Biggs had a line about jumping ship to join the alliance *before* the Empire could draft him.

There's also no way in hell they can use the special edition for any scenes set inside the movie theater.

The screw up with Tarkin's line just boggles the mind. If the master recording is damaged, how hard is it to lift it from another source and isolate the dialog?

It was probably making of Superman 2. I haven't actually seen it, but was told it had the only glimpse of a scene being shot with Reeves and Brando face to face in the Fortress of Solitude set.

The link doesn't work for me.

Were you able to make use of any Brando footage from the old Making of Superman documentary?

Unless somebody has a videotape of Trek recorded off NBC back in the day, it's debateable how it looked back then. People had a tendency to tweak their RCA color consoles by eye, and I doubt anyone had color bars handy!
The syndicated episodes I recall seeing back in the 70's probably had more grain, (unless you were in a major city, you probably saw 16mm prints) not to mention being all scratched up.

Some trivia about the CBS premiere. Star Wars had been pimped so much on pay per view and HBO, that by the time CBS aired it on "free tv" it actually got beat in the ratings by a trashy miniseries called "Lace".

Just TOS bloopers. Only a few mind you, but IIRC, nothing that hasn't been seen in the longer blooper reels that have been around a long time.
