I've been a Frenchman all my life, and I've only once been to the lavatory.

Michael Palin said:

Yes, I can vouch for this.  I have papers here to show that he is a Frenchman, and this certificate here which says that he has not been to the toilet depuis cinq ans.

Richard Nixon said:

We the American people believe sincerely that he has not been to the men's room for five years.

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)
Time

Oh, don't worry; even if they do make an official version from a better source than the GOUT, there will still be work for us to do.  It's bound to have errors and shortcomings since they'd never put as much time and dedication into it as folks like us.  Just think of it as being a potentially much better source for future Despecialization efforts.  ;)

The Matrix [spoRv] *BD-25 RELEASED*
Time

Cinema DTS is not lossless.  It is encoded at a bitrate of 882 kbps, certainly below what lossless compression would allow for five channels of highly dynamic audio.

The only way to get that level of quality would be from the Dolby TrueHD on the Bluray release.  I'm not at all convinced that this is actually a remix anyway, and it may well be the theatrical mix, or a close derivation thereof.

Can Episode VII ignore the prequels?
Time

Most of the EU is really bad, and frankly deserves to be wiped out.

However, I can never support these new films, because to my mind the Thrawn trilogy already told the story of episodes 7, 8, and 9.

My opinion of Abrams-Trek is that the casting is excellent, but that the movies are crap stories terribly told.  I fully expect Abrams-SW to be more of the same.
