This is just silly.

Thanks for clarifying. Appreciate it.

Interesting that they would restore and show vintage trailers. Maybe they just wanted to be able to show more than just Rebels stuff on their screens.

Drugs? It's more like "let's take these two things from the 60's who have successful reboots and smash them together." See also: the Ghostbusters/Ninja Turtles crossover comic that is also coming soon.

I can't wait for either.

Some of the CGI was made in 1994, so it's understandably dated. Jabba was worked on the entire year of 94, animated frame-by-frame by hand using textures from the T-Rex from Jurassic Park. Not that you can see that today, but the dewbacks and troopers I believe were also hand animated.

The whole idea was a test-bed for the Prequels, never meant to be the be-all end-all for the movies.

How does this person know they were restored?  Did they say so or did they just "look" restored?

It's Comic Con.

They were probably just showing it just to have something to show on the big projectors in the background while everyone partied it up on the convention floor.

 That makes more sense than having an event that "debuts" these remastered trailers.

 From the sounds of the guy's tweet though he made it seem like they were restored trailers. Would they restore trailers just to have in the background?

He says they were restored original trailers. Interesting.

Apparently Peter Jackson said/joked at Comic Con that he's considering adding a few scenes to the LotR trilogy for the eventual Complete Middle Earth Set. Extended Extended Edition?

I just noticed this tweet we got last night:

Lucasfilm was showing restored original trilogy @starwars trailers @Comic_Con this year. Are these available? @swrevisited @SW_Celebration

I'm trying to follow up on this, I haven't heard anyone mentioning any trailers.

Can't decide if these are trailers for a restored original trilogy, or restored trailers from the 70s & 80s.

I don't know, it may be the jacket, but Affleck looks more physically imposing than Cavill.

According to the MCU comics, Jarvis is indeed based on his family butler.

I found The Muppets to be one of those movies with so many callbacks as to be detrimental. I was reminded so many times of the better movies/moments that I decided that I would rather be watching them than the movie they were making.

 How did you feel about Bret McKenzie's songs?

A friend of mine made an awesome video comparing Ghostbusters 1 & 2:

Perhaps you're familiar with him/her*?

I had somehow failed to realize they were so easily groupable! So, maybe one more new one (although I don't know how likely that is)

1) The Muppet Movie (1979)
2) Muppet Treasure Island (1996)
3) The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
4) The Great Muppet Caper (1981)
5) The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
6) Muppets from Space (1999)
7) The Muppets (2011)

I'd love to see "Original Henson Trilogy" and "90's Trilogy" Blu-ray sets. The fact that Treasure Island comes with Caper is odd to me.

Eff the new movies.

What are you talking about, its perfect!

I was afraid taking dialog from other Hayden movies would sound too different. Apparently he always talks like that?

Yummy:

Is this the first time 3PO hasn't been dubbed by Daniels?

And I'm mildly OK with there being there being a couple Jedi who slip through the cracks. Maybe Ben and Yoda are the last of the classically trained knights, these others are just untrained people with Force powers filling in the void.

Not only did it bomb horribly, but after the show was over, some retarded cunt stopped me just to tell me "You have offended MY Lord". .... Yuck!

But because I seriously think stereo is still just a goofy gimmick, and that sound directionality in movies is always distracting, as opposed to immersive. 

MMMM, nesting Ultron posters...
