Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)

I often suspect that site is more for guys who wonder what the funny black bars are on some of their movies that won't go away on their widescreen sets.

They also haven't had anyone to taunt since the HD-DVD format died. ;)

Home Theater Forum is probably the last sane place besides here for intelligent discussion of these issues.

 I'm much more a fan of AVS than blu-ray.com.  AVS is much more informative whereas blu-ray.com is a bunch of blind fanboys.

I reposted Zombie's post from AVS over at Blu-ray.com and it's now been deleted, along with most of the posts i have made since i joined the other day. That forum is very one sided. It seems that anyone that has valid points about the original unaltered versions vs the constantly changing special editions will just get their posts deleted, but ones that are attacking the people who want the OUT or are typical Lucas gushers don't have their posts removed. I guess the mods their are either SE fans or too afraid of upsetting George.

And NONE of kenkraly's posts have been deleted, It's almost as if he has copied and pasted all the things he has said here and on other sites. Makes me wonder if their all clones of Kenkraly over there ;)

 Blu-ray.com is great when you just deal with a select group of people.  They claim to not be affiliated with anyone but I think that's bullshit.

Spielberg explains the Sword scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAgqXsbbFyA

Vic Armstrong explains it differently in his book. Harrison Ford says it was his idea.

Reminds me of 3 blind men describing an elephant.

 None of them has ever been able to say definitively who first suggested it.  To be honest, they've all pointed the finger at another.  Steven says it was Harrison.  Harrison has said it was George.  George has said it was Steven.  Who the hell knows.

What PAL/NTSC Laserdisc players would you recommend me?
Time

Sorry to bump this thread but I'm actually looking for a PAL player.

Believe it or not, I'm looking to do a high bitrate capture of a PAL concert using my hauppauge.  I'm sure that it's going to be impossible to find someone with a PAL player plus the laser PLUS a hauppauge PVR so I'm thinking I might have to do it myself.

Is the V4300D still my best option for that?  I just need it to have great video quality...to get it out of the disc once.

Is The Secret History of Star Wars available as an ebook?
No, but I click the button to "tell the publisher you want this on Kindle" every time I see it! ;-)

 I've been pushing the idea of an ebook on my publisher for a while now. I'm working on a second edition of the printed version which hopefully will be available by this christmas, and I'm hoping there will be a digital copy of this available.

 

Will it be updated or revised?

 Quite heavily, yes.

 Oy vey.  Looks like I'll be re-purchasing :)
