Star Wars has always been Dolby-it has never been DTS (except for rare screenings of the 97 SE). There's no reason to change it now.
The digitalbits has some release info on the new AN set which will have much more extras and Hearts of Darkness.
If they can make money by suing you they will-even if the law states that you are in the clear.
OSS 117: Cairo Nest of Spies
The Duellists
Not that these would ever get past anyone, but it is oh so tempting to ask!!
It's coming in a few months, and I had hoped that it would include the original version as a bonus.
It doesn't of course.

Perhaps someone will be kind enough to repost to a free service like RS or MU with dark_jedi's permission?
Yeessssssss! That would be most appreciated, and the Empire would be very grateful to the contractor who performs such a task.

Man, I sure hope he doesn't request the print get destroyed afterward. I recall - was it Adywan? - someone mentioning a local theater having to hand over a print they showed for the 30th Anniversary.
Hope they have a car waiting by the back door, and another waiting at the side door ready to whisk it away in case any goons turn up.
Like young Lucas and THX.
I don't know how they pulled this off, but I just get the feeling Lucas didn't know about it.
Can't stand either the new cut of Pat Garrett or AN Redux.
Kane is that good however.
I thought they were an upmix.
Looking for definitive versions of these films. The Miramax version of Hard Boiled is okay, but the aspect seems a bit off and it uses dubtitles.
The new Miramax version of the Killer is downright awful. It uses a PAL master and incorporates the deleted scenes that are on the original DVDs. Plus the Blu-ray is interlaced. STAY AWAY!!
I have the original Criterion releases (non anamorphic) for both of these, and still use this to watch The Killer. After recently watching this version it made me think of just how much I wanted to see it restored to its former glory.
I did enjoy Die Hard 2 for what it is, but 3 is just a discarded Lethal Weapon script. Die Hard 4 was at least tolerable to some extent, unlike the abomination of Indy 4. So, I guess I'm okay with another Die Hard-if they actually just throw caution to the wind and make another crazy action movie. We need to see anonymous henchmen get shot point blank multiple times-it's soothing...;)
Not that I know of.

I wept like a baby at the end of Peter Jackson's King Kong just like I did when I watched the original as a small child.
There's something special about being a middle aged man in packed cinema crying your eyeballs out with everyone pointing and laughing their heads off.
It really can't be beat kids.
Reminds me of people laughing in Vertigo and leaving in droves during Solaris. (Tarkovsky's film, and I bet people did the same during the remake) How in the hell can people laugh during the nightmare sequence in Vertigo?!?!? Let alone in a theater with the hauntingly beautiful restoration. Crying in a theater is a wonderful elevating experience...unless someone sees you. Anyway-Last Year at Marienbad.
I have got to get a job with these people:
and it's actually framed in 1.66:1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still love Jack's expression. You don't mess with Gittes.
I agree that this whole thing is completely ridiculous.
I think it was later said that they didn't have ESB.
Why is the only available DVD on Amazon a new one from Lionsgate? This is a Paramount title.
Hopefully this will have the theatrical and redux separate!!
On post 96 of this thread, the G'kar of Jedi is sharper than the TB. However it is filtered and the TB is not. So either one for Jedi, TB for ESB, and Flunk for ANH.
Yeah, I think the Flunk is different.
Really glad to hear the G'kar and TBs have resurfaced!!
That's what I've been hoping for since I joined here.
Godfather II and III. Hadn't seen 3 in many years and it is nowhere near as bad as I remembered. If only Pacino got meaty stuff like this more often.
You will bow down to the power of the purple cape!
God, there's got to be 70mm prints around somewhere...wonder what all is in the Fox vaults? It's not like it would kill anyone to play SW in a few art houses...even if it is the 97SE.
