Jedi 30th Ann. screening at Pixar...of the original version!
Time

Here's an excerpt from that interview in Insider:

"Well, CGI is the tool that is used to create effects these days," he responds. "But I think a lot of practical work from that era holds up better. Last year, I went to a 30th anniversary screening of Return of the Jedi and they found a really good 1983 print that had none of the later computer graphics in there [shown at Pixar to celebrate the release of the Making of book--Ed]. It was in really good shape and I was really shocked at the work we did back then--some of it is so much better than a lot of stuff you see today."

Star Wars: Episode VII to be directed by J.J. Abrams **NON SPOILER THREAD**
Time

The audiences where I live behave themselves pretty well. Every once in a blue moon I might have to kick the seat of the occasional phone glancer though.

It'd be nice if my local theater chain adopted the policies of the Drafthouse as I don't think they'll ever be able to get a foothold in my state. Harkins owns this territory.

Ryan and anybody else who cares:

Portable Deus Ex Game: The Fall on sale for $1 on Android and Apple.

 Thanks for the tip (It's £4.99 for UK Deus Ex fans btw). It looks almost as good as the full game. I might wait a bit and see if it gets ported to the PS3 (Like they did for one of the MGS titles) because it looks like it will suck to play on a touch screen.

 Dunno if it's coming to consoles. There's a PC release coming to Steam for $9.99(£7.99) that's available for pre-order. I figure if they were going to port it to consoles as well they would have announced them at the same time.
