Just the international cut, which is on the official 5 disc retail dvd briefcase, or blu ray.

It is non anamorphic, interlaced on the Rikter dvd.

The official version is restored not sure if the color timing is any different on the dvd versus the laserdisc though, which makes a preservation of this sort kind of valid to hold onto.

Is not the Tv cut the same as the theatrical with the narration but only censored and therefore unremarkable?

No thunderball pre THX and full picture?, the fanfiltration version never was released.

Cannot wait to screen Puggo Strikes Back, and Return of the Puggo.

Hopefully the print sources don't have the same problems as star wars.

Some scenes on that looked overly dark and hard to see, not sure if this was because of fading.  Maybe Puggo knows, don't have any screen caps handy.

This was on the first reel.

Ripplin that is a perfect way to describe star trek 2009 too, and i admit i liked the movie as a movie of the week action piece, but i rated it poor as a star trek film.

"It's confusing, full of holes and fanservice, and disregards the originals in so many ways.' '...but it looks so cool!"

I think that is a tfn type troll who got banned here.

The name sounds familiar.

Who is the "old woman on Tattooine" from ANH? Some of these scenes, I've not heard of/don't know what they're referring to...

The lady who tells Luke to slow down, because he is driving his landspeeder too fast. Coming into Toche Station. Of course in a hurry because he has just seen the stardestroyer overhead overtaking the tantive IV with his macrobinoculars.

He almost runs the lady down with his speeder, Luke's a crazy drunk driver just like Marty Mcfly.

     Speaking of bonus discs...

     I watched the THX 1138 SE recently. Outstanding restoration and enhancement.

     I'd like to see Amgraf and THX included in an SW saga set!

     I suppose that would create problems with the different studios and lost profit on the single sales.

     OTOH, it would make the saga sets even more appealing and provide vastly greater distribution and awareness for those two great films.

I think I'm going to go out and get drunk now. ;)

Agreed, Lucas destroyed Thx 1138 the same way he did star wars.  CGi lizards and monkeys, wtf.

Cgi cartoon planes dogfighting, bay's awful Pearl Harbor copying star wars, already been done.

Now you have Lucas copying Lucas in what is supposed to be a historical piece.

Instead of models its computer graphics that would not pass muster in a videogame.

Post adopted as sig.

I am going to go out on a limb and say there is nothing i dislike about the oot, in terms of dialogue, pacing. storytelling, effects etc.

Any of the real cringe worthy lines were not in the final film, someone else actor or scriptwriter made the dialog better.

On Star Wars, Huyck/Katz rewrote 30% plus of the dialogue.

Empire written by Kasdan, then rewritten on set by Ford and Kersh.

While the story of Jedi is mostly Lucas if not for Kasdan and Marquand, Hamill and Fisher's input it would have been a disaster on the order of crystal skull or revenge of the sith.

"the first transport is away!" - upload is finished. please provide feedback.

coming up next:

 - Episode 5 Silverscreen VHS Fullscreen Capture Title Crawl [including Trailers]

 - Episode 6 Silverscreen VHS Fullscreen Capture Title Crawl [including Trailers]

 - Episode 4 Silverscreen VHS Fullscreen Capture Title Crawl [5 analog captures for the two_of_three(?) filter.]

 - my already in the year 2006 released mpeg2-encoding of the original theatrical intro (logos & title crawl), a few filters and a gout starfield background-pic were applied.

Finally a source for the episode 5 vivaldi trailer, even if in german with german subs.  At least its not a reconstruction or a bad cammed copy of a faded scratched print.

fanfiltration is busy so it will probably be a while til he gets back to us on why demonoid deleted his torrent.

Guess i will have to track down a copy of the laserdisc which is a notorious rotter.

Is this the release where Lucas says i hope your children and your children's children enjoy watching the films as much as i had making them in letters on the box.

And now he claims these films no longer exist,lol.

They are rough cuts if you want them they are on vhs.

Well George has not completely had the novelizations rewritten for the original trilogy yet, he just had new junior novelizations made instead.

But well the original novelizations, comic adaptations, and first 2 radio dramas as well as the original screenplays pre special edition are no longer canon.

"My Powers have doubled since the last time we met count." Anakin

"Good twice the pride double the fall." Dooku

"We live in a real world Anakin come back to it."

Padme says this while standing there in her alluring attire.

I swear she is just playing Anakin and is a siren.

If he was sent to test his resolve to the nonsensical made up code of the prequels that a Jedi is forbidden to love or be with a woman, he failed miserably.

What about Jar Jars speech, dellow felegates.

Even if someone already posted this anytime Jar Jar opens his mouth its a disaster.

Like Qui gon says in episode 1 "the ability to speak does not make you intelligent"

I want to know why the original films cannot be released in a restored quality on dvd/bluray.

And no i will not except its an oxymoron as an answer.

Especially since Spielberg, Scott and others can release multiple versions of their films on home video without some kind of childish "i will do what i want they are my movies" foot stomping tirade.

I always figured it was him stealing the Falcon away from Lando.

Though he claims he won it fair and square.

A criminal winning a game of stakes fair and square,lol.

Or maybe he stole one of Lando's girlfriends or something, who knows.

The blue tint on the empire strikes back blu ray previews in the snow walker battle is even more pronounced, wonderful, great going LFL.

The blu ray and DVD of the theatrical sadly don't have the 35mm Stereo mix from 1979, and i have no way of knowing if the 5.1 on the DVD is a new mix or the 70mm, but i would venture a guess its a new mix.

Did Paramount have this taken down by order of the DMCA?

He gave the third mummy film a good review, indiana jones IV a good review, the prequels of star wars good reviews. Yet he gave JJ trek half a star less than star trek V.

He actually rated the last Trek film as the worst in the series.

Does anyone actually give his views any credence anymore?

Without the Spirit or the Shadow, Batman the comic probably would not exist, and Bob Kane gets all the credit for it when he was not the only creative hand in it.

Its like Stan Lee taking all the credit for Marvel, and Jack Kirby is forgotten.

Xhonzi i think the public opinion on comics goes back to the creation of the comics code and the censorship which shut down EC comics because they would not do censored books.

Also they claimed the comics had a bad influence on children and it was Communists influencing kids, commie propaganda.

Politicians especially the Religious right violated the sovereign rights of Americans freedom of speech, with this censorship its just like pre code Hollywood before they came in and cleaned up all the sex and nudity to appease hard right Christians.

Too bad in time even liberals got in on censorship like AL Gore's Ex wife.

Saw Super 8 last night. Simply fantastic. The kids were great. It's the first 'summer blockbuster' film I've seen in long while that cares about the characters and takes time to get to know them. It's like Stand By Me+The Goonies+ET+Close Encounters+Jaws.

8 out of 10 balls.

I must agree with your assessment of super 8.  Only i kind of resent it because its responsible for the long delay for star trek 12, or 2 as its now being called.

That and crap like MI4. Which JJ is not even directing.
