You want a Star Wars analogy? If Lucas is the Emperor, you guys who are buying this crap are his appeasers, hoping that if you just go along with it things will work out. At the very best you are members of the senate trying to protest with letter writing. Well that didn't turn out too good for the galaxy, and it took some kids saying 'hell no, enough is enough' to finally end the insanity.

Well I'm saying enough is enough. I've drank Lucas' Cool Aid and it tastes like cat piss. I don't have the ability to make my own preservations, but I can sure as hell support those who do by watching them over official releases and by distributing them. Let the evil Emperor rule the galaxy with an iron fist = I'm off to hang out in exile on Dagobah with my boy Yoda, waiting until the time is right.

Super 8 is a type of film, like 16mm or 35mm.

I don't want out of Star Wars - I love the Original trilogy. I abso-fucking-lutely love it. But I hate Lucasfilm as a corporation, I hate having to beg and crawl to get the single most important movie of the last 30 years on a modern format, I hate the fact that I have legitamately paid for the OT six times. I hate the way they are saying 'this is what the fans want, yay the fans, han shot first, buy this DVD' and then totally dicking us in the knowledge that I will buy these films a seventh time. Well I won't. I have Laserdisc rips, and they are good. All the suckers who keep saying 'hey, shucks, you know, sure it's crap, but I'm gonna buy it because that way Lucas will release it on HD', well to them I say fine, go ahead, buy it. Buy something you don't want.

If that makes me a quitter/star wars hater in anybody's eyes, whatever. If the OT is released at a later date in a package worthy of it's greatness (OT only, anamorphic presentation, lots of extras, shitloads of differnt sound options, nice fancy packaging etc) I'll buy it. Until then, I can't afford to waste my money on something I don't want (and already have).

Things I could/should be doing instead of posting:

1. working on my portfolio so I can get a job in L.A

2. Studying my driving manual so I can get a US driving license

3. practising my guitar skillz (I promised myself I would move my playing ability to the next level during this stay in ND)

4. Enjoying the fresh air and non-city environment

I have it on good authority that the bonus material is actually a pristine transfer of the Turkish Star Wars from VHS.

Now that I would pay for.

I agree it's not cool that they dicked on Brosnan's contract, but I don't think money saving was the motive. However good a Bond Brosnan was, the films (with the exception of Goldeneye, IMO) were lame. That's not Brosnan's fault, but he was associated with a series of crap Bond films and when the series needed an overhaul (which it badly did), a new Bond was needed. I wish they'd waited 10 years or so though and then triumphantly returned.

In this thread alone we have someone in there early teens, someone in their late teens, someone who is just in their twenties, me who is in his mid 20s, and someone who is in their 40s, and we are all OOT fans - don't try and pidgeonhole us George.

Aware of the uproar, Lucasfilm is in the process of directly contacting its upset fan base in an attempt to smooth things over.

Well, I was 'directly contacted' yesterday, and here's a newsflash for Lucasfilm: Thing's aint smooth between us.

I have all those sets. I also have all 3 films on seperate VHSs (i.e not box set) from '95 (UK editions) and I am a proud owner of the Executor Box Set (limited to 20,000 and also from 95). I am also ashamed to admit I own the 2004 DVDs.

So I think Lucasfilm has had enough of my money, thank you very much.
