Despecialized: Crossing the Velvet Rope, or Petr Gets Pegged (speculation thread)
Time

A bit much to think that it'll get mentioned at the Academy awards, I think. I can't tell if you're saying so in jest or not, my sarcasm meter is on the fritz today.

If Harmy lived in the US I think this could have been a problem. But if Lucasflim bothered to press charges or take action against him in the Czeh Republic? Whatshername in charge would have to be pretty nuts and I'm pretty sure it would be a PR fiasco.

I'd love to see Lucasfilm release a statement of SOME sort, though.

Three-strip Technicolor: Please help!
Time

It's likely in that case then that I'm not used to seeing it so small! My mistake. Something just didn't look quite right at first, but then again I'm tired.

I'm no authority on the subject of course, so take my opinion as you will. I'll say it's without a doubt a step in the right direction, though you may want to go a bit more radical with some of your choices. You_Too is a good person to ask.

I laughed...

and then I genuinely started to worry about your well-being. You cannot be for real. Take care and, if possible, stop being so disturbing.

Get used to disappointment.

To Color Or Not To Color
Time

I've always thought that colorized films were a fun alternative to the original, when done correctly. Unfortunately, when the process first started, many times the job wasn't done right at all. Luckily, as technology has improved, so has the work on this sort of thing. For instance:

It's pretty obvious which one was done later.

Note that I said alternative; I believe that it should be a bonus feature at best, and nothing more. The current DVD/Blu of It's a Wonderful Life got this right by including a modern colorization done by Legend Film.

How do others see the originaltrilogy.com community?
Time

His view is sadly more common than you'd think... and it doesn't even have to apply to Star Wars! I have a friend at college that won't watch anything from pre-last decade because she - honest to God - thinks HD invented quality. Period. It sickens me that I'm the only person who has ever called her out on that.
