I doubt it’s a feud. Most of those feuds revolve around making and releasing new movies, not distributing 40-year-old movies. I think Verta was talking about scheduling a meeting by the way.

The MGM musical Annie Get Your Gun went unseen for almost 30 years because of a dispute between the studio and Irving Berlin. Legal pissing contests are nothing new in Hollywood.

And Fox is sitting on some Marvel characters Disney would love to get the film rights to.

People are also arguing that Marvel is deliberately choking off several Fox properties in their comics.

JEDIT: Ugh Jesus, it’s like I didn’t even read ATM’s post.

Yes, most people seem to like the 3-2-1 Contact version better (and my wife was the one who suggested it, btw) so that’s what I’m going with.

In other news, I’ve just ordered the Robocop DVD so I can use some of the birth of Robocop scene for the birth of Vader. Ideas on how to do this are welcome. Here’s the scene(s).

Man. You could almost just drop that whole scene in.

You definitely need to get the party scene in.

Maybe start with the ROTS surgery scene, then cut away to the Robocop scene, go through the whole thing more or less, and then maybe break away from that like they messed up entirely and decided to do Vader instead, and finish up those scenes as you have them now?

Personally, I think there’s a difference between being a “purist” and going overboard. I think the idea here is mainly to preserve the original theatrical cuts (more or less), but I definitely think there’s such thing as being too persnickety about things like a decimal change in frame rates or exacting color timing.

As opposed to simply accurate color timing. Which is currently lacking in official releases of the OT.

Yes. There’s accurate and then there’s nitpicky and just plain speculative.
