Come to think of it, beyond Leonard Maltin I really don't remember a good Lucas interview. Does he do them?

Yeah, sometimes people are just jackasses. Our Expedition has been broken into twice, but luckily they only took stuff.

Good luck with the hunt, I hope they catch the bastard(s) and hang 'em. You don't mess with another man's automobile.

I think that about says it. You can talk about numbers all you want, but whatever looks best for you and what your standard is, that's what you should go by.

They are actually coming out with a new standard, ATSC, which might replace both.

Agreed. Reference video quality. An extremely natural, unfiltered look with about as much detail as the DVD format can provide.

Superbits are all marketing hype. There is nothing technically different about the process Columbia/Sony uses when producing the discs. They just increase the bitrate. There are plenty of high-quality, high-bitrate discs from other studios that blow away most Superbit releases without any lame marketing BS.

Not true. Superbits are unfiltered. Regular releases are. The bit-rate is raised in order to accomodate the new level of detail. Some releases are simply better than others.

That entire conversation wasn't rehearsed; I don't know if it was ad-libbed.

The "I know" line in ESB was ad-libbed.

Nothing beats the pants in A Fish Called Wanda.

I've heard that for the DVD version the boom mic is removed.

You do realize that if there's a good transfer of the movie it really won't matter. If you compare PAL and NTSC side by side there is more resolution in the PAL version, but it's nothing to go crazy about. As for color saturation, etc, that is dependent on the image itself.

If you can find any DVD that beats Criterion's R1 transfer of The Rock I'd like to see it.

PAL is better resolution, higher framerate, and, I believe, better colour depth. It's still relatively crap ass compared to what is possible, but until we get a standard for HD, it's the best common format broadcast format.

1) The resolution difference doesn't really matter unless people take advantage of it, and it rarely happens. If you've ever compared a PAL and NTSC DVD there's really no difference in detail, and if there is it is not due to the extra resolution.

2) Higher framerate? PAL is 25fps, NTSC is 30. Since people tend to just speed film up for a PAL release (as there's only 1 frame of difference) it makes PAL movies speedier then normal. NTSC looks much for natural due to 3:2 pulldown.

3) I'm not aware of better color depth, though someone correct me if there's other info.

That's why I like Kubrick's take on it. He feels that mistakes are simply part of the movie, and leaves them in.

In Casino, the word "Fuck" is said 422 times, including in the narration - 2.4 times per minute on average.
