The thing that bothered me the most on the original Batman begins dvd release was no audio commentary by Nolan and Bale.

Will the blu have this?

If not i don't see any reason to rebuy the film i already own on dvd. Other than subtantially improved picture and soundtrack.

I have the single disc release of the dvd. I rented the 2 disc so called special edition and there were like no real special features on the second disc. Other than a lame digital comic book and the pre release materials on tv and in the digital press kit.

The one reason i am rebuying Casino Royale in the rumored november release ia that it will Have the Martin Campbell commentary, a real making of, and the deleted scenes.

Dark Knight and Quantum of solace should make up for the pains of having to endure a crapy 4th Indiana Jones movie. Iron Man also is a really good comic book movie.

I have heard rave reviews from the comic book community on the new hulk, most of what was based on the fight scene at the end and the incredibly Expenive cgi. Nobody ever metioned story or romance being in the movie, which is suprising since that is how they have advertised the movie to the non comic book crowd.

there are 2 star wars 16mm clips up on ebay and 2 16mm clips of empire as i type this.

They all do appear to be faded. They also appear to be pan and scan as if they were ment for television.

This show was great during its run.

If will continue to be great until they pull it off the air.

What will they replace it with?

The show the executives at sci fi were hoping to replace it with has since been cancelled, The new flash gordon.

This show has remained relevent to our times which was the thing that made the classic star trek series great.  But which enterprise failed miserably to follow.

Hard to beleive the guy who wrote that show actually writes this.

I'm sorry if you disagree with me. But I won't apologize for my opinions.

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are being added to my shit list of directors.

If Spielberg makes another good film sometime in the future i may relent since he did release the original versions of e.t. and close encounters on dvd.

As for Lucas i have always been confused at to his treatment of the original star wars trilogy, unless he somehow changes his mind. Which i seriously doubt. The man is stubborn which is his strength and weakness at the same time.

Again he can tinker the films to his liking as long as he does what every other director worth their salt has done, release decent quality copies of the theatrical cuts in anamorphic.

I'm not asking for a multi million dollar clean up job like lowry or the 1997 release. just what we got in cinemas circa 1977-1983. I don't think that is too much to ask.

"A fanatic is someone who increases his efforts when he's lost sight of his goal"

I have never lost sight of my goal. That is to have the originals restored for a proper dvd release. I signed the petition. I have been a Supporter of George since i was a very young kid. It was only until he treated the movies he created that i loved as a child with a grave disrespect that i turned against him. He became the villain instead of the hero.

My parents went to see his films before i was born so you could say i'm a second generation fan. MY dad is around Lucas age, indeed they shared a lot of the same interests like drag racing cars. MY dad was a huge fan of graffiti.

If i really hated George as much as you guys think why would i have an autographed starlog magazine from the 10th anniversary of star wars signed by him as one of my prized posessions?

That i would own like 13 copies of star wars on every format?

That i would have memorized the Indiana Jones Trilogy and Original Star Wars Trilogy backwards and forwards and watched them hundreds of times over?

I am only enraged at his treatment of the movies, the man himself was a god to me in my youth. I know blasphemy and all that jazz right. I mean he's the guy that got me interested in mythology, in storytelling, filmaking and science fiction and fantasy. The guy that pointed the way to writers like Asimov, Tolkien, Burroughs. and E.E. smith.

MY life is all the more enriched and i owe the man a very great debt i can never repay.

I am positive that I love the original works and they do not need to be distorted or ruined to make a fast buck.

Where in the manga is is stated that they are on earth, use guns like in that poster, or that goku is an alien?

Hollywood hucksters better keep their greedy mitts off my favorite anime. Even if they don't they will not get my money.

Speilberg should be kept like a zillion miles away from any g.i.t.s. project. He already ruined the anime transformers and he ruined Indiana Jones.

I would give the director of Akira a chance if the movie was set in neo tokyo and not new new york. This is almost as bad as disney making the yamato the frickin uss arizona.

Sadly the average american filmgoer is retarded and has add so hollywood has TO Make Subtanceless cgi pieces of crap. It is an awful lot like the assembly line producer derived bubblegum pop, pure crap.

I don't always hate cgi miyzaki has been able to use it effectively without making it souless, i would say the same about Pixar as well. The new evangelion film 1.0 you are not alone is an example where cgi is used effetively to augment the story. The japanese are real artists and craftsman when it comes to their work.

I would only like this dragonball movie is Toriyama san directed it, fuck hollywood.

If the evangelion live action ever gets made it hade better be Hideaki Anno and not Matt Greenfield directing. And especially not Peter Jackson.

Wow.  Johnboy and DarkGryphon actually disagree on something.

As a fan of the manga i must say as an anime purist this film is going to suck.

Hollywood is out to ruin some great anime, I am therefore boycotting the live action Ghost in The Shell and Akira.

Not true to the source material. That actor dude is white and not japanese and chow yun fat is chinese. All Bad american casting.

I will be very suprised if this movie is not a total dud like speed racer.

I was one of the few people who was exstatic when the americanizations Of Space Battleship Yamato and Evangelion were not made.

I agree wholeheartedly with IrishLuck though i would say nothing past 1995.  Except for the bantam novels and the dark horse comics.

1996 was shadows of the empire, now i don't entirely hate shadoes but characters like Xizor and Dash Rendar aka cheap Han Solo knockoff were not needed.

1997 was the year that will live in infamy the year that buried the originals forever, and allowed these bastard creations called special editions to take their place.

1999 Jar Jar and prequels premiere nuff said.  Also Chewie dies in Vector Prime and the New Jedi crap. i mean order novels are released.

2006 non anamorphic gout from 1993 laserdisc released as bonus discs.

No I just loathe the special editions and the prequels, as much as i dislike TFN Gushers who come to originaltrilogy.com who care nothing for the original films made between 1977-1983.

This site is not specialeditions.com or crappyprequels.com

I could see him wrecking the one film in the trilogy he actually directed, but he did not direct empire strikes back and return of the jedi.

I cannot believe Kersh let him ruin empire strikes back. As for Marquand he is dead. Does Lucas even have respect for the dead? 

He replaced shaw with christensen, why not remove the other directors name and put his on the films.

If i was Kersh i'd disown the special editions of Empire and have allan smithee put in instead.

As for the prequels as far as i'm concerned he can add and deleted things to his liking since they suck anyway, there is nothing he can do to ruin them further.

Why am i not surprised.

Luca$ wants to keep the original version out of collector's hands.

Bfi and Afi prints are also out of his hands. as well as the library of congress.

Otherwise he would have them destroyed.

I feel the same way Lucas does about the holiday special as i do the special editions and the prequels.  All the dvds should be smashed to bits and burned.  The oneg and prints ot the special editions should be altered back to the original cuts, and any thing else should be destroyed.  All the added cgi belongs in the trim bins not the original scenes.

watching this interview made me want to puke.   Seriously i thought George Could not go and lose any more respect and then he goes and opens his mouth.  All he watches is Family Guy and Jackass reruns.  Sort of expalins all those fart and poop jokes in the Phantom Menace.

He does not know the movies script as seen in a previous interview, and now he does not even recognize John Williams signature tunes.  He does not even bother watching the movies, i guarantee you he did not watch the originals or re-read the original scripts before writing the prequels.   Proved what i had always feared the prequels were a deliberate cash in and he is not a fan of the movies.

As far as im concerned that cgi piece of crap does not exist. The Transformers Movie is the one with Orson Welles as Unicron, and Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron.

Sort of how Spielberg has made it his mission to turd all over franchises.  First Transformers,  Kotcs.  Even war of the worlds was pure garbage.

To me there is nothing so stupid as digital film grain. Artificial grain added after the cleaning process of an old movie or for just looks.

The lowry Bond and Indiana Jones removed all the fine grain as well as the dirt so they put digital film grain over the entire image, makes me want to throw the dvd's in the trash

As for star wars their is a reason Lucas wanted to remove all the grain so that the films would better match the new cgi and the prequels.

A lot of the removing of grain from films is because people want a pristine clean 21st century looking image that looks like it would have been shot on HD Video.

while your at it why not make your own beta and laserdisc, LOL.

HD-DVD died and is obsolete.

If George ever gets off his but and releases his preferred version you can bet it will be on blu ray.

Unlike the shumacher films, which had over the top bad cgi and bad acting

And that just like taking the material seriously, is why nolan's batman rules.

I was watching batman forever on tv today and the acting by Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones is cringe worthy.

I had always thought the film was better than Batman and Robin, but it sucks maybe a little less. Still it really sucks.

I never did like Jim Carrey flaying the riddler as a giddy gay guy weirdo.

Shumacher, along with Micheal Bay, Mcg, and Brett Ratner are some of the worst directors ever.
