STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

Personally, I’m hoping that the shots from RotJ he used in ANHR won’t be in ANHRHD. It’s one of my favorite shots from RotJ, so it’s really jarring for me to see it in ANHR.

As for shots from R1 in RotJ, we’re still a while from that, and I honestly don’t think they’d fit in very well. RotJ is fairly locked-off camera shots, while R1 zooms and drifts.

Vader probably relished a chance to cut loose on some Rebel scum.

But he casually walks in and looks around at the dead troops like it’s just another day at the office. I see what you mean but the whole thing feels like the obligatory lightsaber moment. It’s trying too hard to be badass seconds after a sombre ending.

The guy lives in a big life support machine, so all that hacking and slashing probably wore him out.

My friend has a theory that the reason Vader seems less active in ANH is because he hasn’t had a chance to heal in bacta if he has to go back to Mustafar regularly, and perhaps the Devastator doesn’t have the pod thing the Executor does.

How to Marry a Millionaire (1953)
A comedy about 3 gold diggers who rent an apartment together, in New York, trying to bag them some Tycoons. It doesn’t all go according to plan, and realise there’s more too it than money… love!
It was a funny movie, but very predictable.

Was it one of those things that it was predictable because it’s the movie the cliches are reusing?

4K restoration on Star Wars

Why would they have to go back to the models made for the '97 SE? Couldn’t they just use the new and improved models used in R1?

I’m sure the programs ILM uses have progressed enough that they couldn’t plug the new models into the 97 (likely made in 95) animations. So they’d probably have to start from scratch.

The original SE Jabba they made was animated manually frame-by-frame using stuff they built for Jurassic Park.

Ghostbusters 101: 01

Erik Burnham has the amazing ability to write every character’s dialog exactly how you’d imagine the character would speak, no matter which universe the Ghostbuster is from. The movie characters have always been spot on, the cartoon versions were amazing, and even the short glimpse we get of the ATC Ghostbusters in this issue are perfectly in character.

The old Blu-ray was very blue, they corrected it somewhat. Plus, it was the safest option for the 50th, seeing as how it’s the most beloved film of the series.

The old blu-ray also shows some of the same contrast-boosting issues as the other five. I remember seeing a screenshot comparison of the shot where the Reliant and Enterprise first approach each other and the 2016 re-restoration is much more natural looking. The first six were released all at once back in '09, which probably means the same person/people were responsible for the final tweaks on all of them before the discs were pressed. There’s even a bit of dnr on that first WoK bd, it’s just nowhere near as bad as on the others thanks to the restoration.
