4K restoration on Star Wars
Time

[quote=Mike O]



 Yeah, but the market is going to become what it is in Japan: astronomically high prices for everything physical. It's already shifting that way with Twilight Time catalog titles.


I'd rather pay $30 for a blu-ray copy of the movies I'm looking for than not have them at all...or only have a download option.

And, yes, that's the way the market IS going. Bring on the days of laserdisc when everything was released, even if you had to pay a premium. BD is dying right now.

Sounds like a choice of stealing it via torrent or stealing it via Ebay.  If the only two options are both ethically and legally challenging, why does it matter if there is a market catering to people who don't know how and don't want to learn to steal it via torrent?






 Because why let people profit off of stuff they shouldn't be profiting off of?


*yawn* That's fighting a losing battle.

Disney does not want what just happened.

Boos for Greedo. Muttering at Jedi Rocks. But the ENTIRE theatre yelling and jeering Hayden SO loudly...
As opposed to my screening where people applauded.
Cheering because it was the end of the film or because it was Hayden? No, seriously, I want to know. I wonder if there's a divide in the kinds of fans regionally.


Hayden.

I couldn't believe it. I wanted to throw up.

ROTJ screening 10/25 NYC
Time

Just to give an update...as if there were any doubt: it was the 2011 version. TBH, I'm not even sure if it was a DCP. :( Although it was great seeing it with a very receptive audience, the 10 year old who was coughing so badly I thought he had Ebola and the awful compression issues took me out of it.

The only thing I can say is that after the credits were over, the word "English" came up on the screen, as if it were there for subtitles or something.

Regardless, BAM is very well respected so I would expect them to, at the very least, get a DCP but this is also Star Wars we're talking about.

 Pink telecine? 


Absolutely no idea. I'm not spending the money to buy it outright. I'd upgrade but they don't let you use the Blu-ray. I don't have the DVD anymore.

You can watch a 2 minute preview, though.
