That is probably what it's going to look like. 2+2=4
Really, i thought in Lucasland 2+2=5.
You used to be able to do that with hulu as well, from what i have read not anymore.

Was reading a thread elsewhere, with several people chiming in, mentioning how the 2006 DVD set with the GOUT included has been allowed to go out of print. So not only would there not be DVD versions of the films available (seems odd, as a lot of people still use DVDs) and also there would (again) not be theatrical versions available.
Is this true?
Reactions, if it is?
No diffrent than Paramount pulling the standard def original star trek dvd's without the cgi, to force people to buy the stupid blu rays or purshase them second hand at ridiculous prices, often ending up with bootlegs when they thought they were puchasing the real deal from the marketplace sellers.
Yeah sure the cgi versions are available on dvd only, which is garbage.
I also saw they pulled the gout from Amazon, and i too thought it was another Luca$cheme.
Luke is the main hero of the original trilogy, it was called original from the adventures of luke skywalker.
That was the title on the novelization.
I do understand the point of the video.
But The trilogy is Luke's story, Hamill is the main star, despite what people have come to believe about it being Han Solo's story and Ford's series.
Lucas decided to turn the saga on its head with the success of empire and jedi and made Vader the hero of the saga, stupid move.

Yeah, but who's gonna SCAN it kid, you?
Seriously, that's the rub. No decent 35mm scanning outfit would touch it with a 10 foot pole. Although at least buying it would keep it from falling into enemy hands.
I know of one that did touch a 35mm print of a cult animated film that is still unavailable on DVD in the U.S. (They actually touched it twice because they had DNR switched on and overcranked on the first pass.) I even saw framegrabs of the results.
Unfortunately, I could not get the name of the outfit from the owner of the print, and I have to respect their decision not to disclose the information.
Let me guess you are talking about permanently banned member ocpmovie, aka Garret Gilchrist. And Thief and the Cobbler incomplete workprint found in a dumpster.

Maybe a bit of overkill, but I understand the sentiment.
Funny i thought of the same idea the other day thinking of Vaders funeral pyre scene.
I was having fun.

Has anyone pointed this article out?

Rick McCallum says the rest are a no-go if the theatrical TPM re-issuing isn't a success. WHAT? I mean you have to think; they're relying on the most critically panned of the Star Wars franchise to bring in audiences... It shouldn't be a surprise if people don't want to see that one again.
On a side note, the article mentions that Cameron is converting Titanic to 3D.
What Lucas is a billionaire who had so much money he gave away half his fortune to charity, but he cannot afford the restoration of the oot, cannot afford the live action series, and now he cannot afford the 3-D convert even with the blu ray sales, wow something tells me greed is the reason.
I also heard New Line plans to convert Lord of the Rings into 3-D not so sure if that will happen though, would sort of make sense seeing as how the 2 hobbit films are being shot in 3-D.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
This film had a great Goldsmith score, and a very interesting scene where we saw the birth of Spock. The guy who played Spock's father was well cast. I also thought the part with McCoy's turmoil over the death of his father was done well.
Shatner's i need my pain line was pretty good.
Thanks Fritz, aka Video collector for the discs you sent me,
I already said thanks before but wanted to thank you for the z version of menace, before the blu ray how would we have known image was cropped on the sides if not for this copy.

Making the rounds:
For the love of god, please tell me they did not cgi Yoda in Empire strikes back, if they did i will be beyond angry, i will be furious, since Kersh so recently passed away.
They were made in the 1980's and on an obscure and obsolete format, even more obscure than cdi movies format, or video8.
Star Wars was pan and scan only.
Stereo i think and the same as 1982 vhs release.
Was it the Marcus Hearn Lucas book, i think so. But i would have to check.
I always wondered what a green screen cut of the 3 films would look like if you removed the cgi,lol.
What about unfinished scenes and so on in rough form, that will be on the blu ray for the first time.
The deleted scene with qui gon and maul dueling on the ramp as the queen's ship takes off will be on the blu ray.
But like someone said you never did a TPM cut, probably because Clones and Sith were newer?
Because every country that had a release in their national language that is their language. Not English.
Its like a Japanese anime being released here in the states, usually the English track is master audio and the Japan track of lesser quality, the reverse is true in japan.
I believe the japan release will have Japan DTS HD 6.1 MA. In Japanese and the English track will be the lesser encode on there. In mean of course Star Wars. The original Japan release came out in 1978, i have no idea what the special edition dubs were like.
I loved the 5.1 track on star wars special edition, too bad that is not on the blu ray, i mean the 1997 version warts and all.
I did not like some of the changes, but was okay with it until it became the replacement for the original.
I thought the trench run was absolutely thrilling i think i saw it in 6 channel sdds.
Some saw it in dts, i also saw the empire strikes back in dolby 5.1 and jedi in dolby 5.1
Welcome back X-0. Did you consider capping the special edition 1997 with the X-0 player or strictly the oot?
I am also looking forward to puggo finishing the trilogy, that for me will be the equivalent of an oot DVD Anamorphic release since none is ever coming.
If people need HD dark jedi's set and harmys are very nice indeed.
I prefer dj's based on the images posted as i have not the discs yet, if i did i would drop off them over at my bros and watch them at his house.
We had planned to watch the official blu ray. And see Phantom in 3D, but i am sort of in a boycott Lucas mood.
Not sure if i am still getting it or not, the NOOOO no thing is pretty bad imho.
But my brother likes the special editions and the prequels, so i don't know.
Get the set when its used i guess keep the deleted scenes and documentaries discs and give him the 6 films.
I heard that Weta actually found some of the original props for that scene, and even storyboards drawn by Willis O'brian.
The found the spider armature and using that as a concept they recreated the same model.
I wonder if i am the only one who liked PJ's King Kong, except for jack black. He nearly ruined the movie for me yet did not.
The Phantom Menace Blu ray comes from the DI, i was amazed at just how soft the image was in the previews.
Disappointing they did not go back to the raw film and do a 4k scan and uprez the effects.
Its because that vaporware project was never released, i still feel bad over laserman though.
The restored one was the 50th anniversary. They had a black and white version and a color one.
But the scenes edited out were only found in 16mm.
The Spiderpit sequence no longer exists in any quality, i am sure even if they located it only in 16mm they would have put it on the dvd.
Cool Puggo.
Hudson Hawk is like the worst movie ever made if you love the first die hard though and followed that up by watching that, or you could do worse Bruce Willis talk show.
Johnny M is not so bad a movie if you see the Japanese cut and see it as a bad Japanese b movie, not expecting a Matrix film.
I mean what did you expect its the guy from bill and ted.
Is not the video era and mtv responsible for this at least partly, i mean in response to modern popular music on the whole pretty much being crap.
That quick cutting editing style has also gone on to ruin films.
If everything is not super fast faced and without shaky cam, lens flares and hundreds of millions of dollars of fake cgi, god the movie won't even open.
Are they also the people who started the rumor that Jimmy Smits would be on Alderaan in Star Wars when the death star blows it up in the 2004 edit?
