I mean the OT. I don't know what Revenge of the Sith is, is that fan fiction?DeadTrees said:Only Revenge of the Sith, and that won't be around for much longer.
Oh, well I guess it still beats the 2011 versions if you don't have the DVDs and cant afford the good releases. The prices that they are going for at the moment are pretty steep.Count of Monte Sawed-Off said:I think they usually show the DVD versions.
Prequels? What are those?Gary Whitta said:I mean the OT. I don't know what Revenge of the Sith is, is that fan fiction?
Yeah, it's fan fictionGary Whitta said:I mean the OT. I don't know what Revenge of the Sith is, is that fan fiction?

Fuck Lucas and his vandalized Blu-rays. He's turned us all into scavengers, scraping around in the trash cans of the internet for our childhoods.
Indeed. I don't even own the original trilogy anymore. I'd like to watch it again, but I don't want to watch the horrible edited versions. I just want to go into a store and buy the ORIGINAL versions on Blu-Ray. This is so sad. =(Gary Whitta said:OG editions of Episodes IV, V and VI ACQUIRED!

No it really doesn't at all. But it's obvious you are just trolling so I went feed into itJack Scofield said:You're insane obsession with watching the "correct" version of the movies makes you like a faux-George Lucas. Like him, you seem to consider your subjective opinion of which version is better as fact.
To clarify, I don't think there's any objectively "proper" version. Some people prefer the Special Editions and like many of the changes. That's fine. Others, like me, prefer the originals. I just wish Lucas had served both groups by doing a Blade Runner-style definitive set instead of freezing so many of us out by refusing to include the original versions. All I want is the movies I grew up with.Jack Scofield said:You're insane obsession with watching the "correct" version of the movies makes you like a faux-George Lucas.

Yeah that's really an amazing set from top to bottom.Veidt said:Speaking of Ridley Scott.
Everyone here should purchase the ALIEN anthology.

Again, I don't think anyone is saying the updated editions shouldn't exist (well maybe a few of us are). All we want is the CHOICE of watching the fancied-up versions or the originals we remember. Put both on the discs and all this goes away.Jack Scofield said:How is it not similar? Lucas is obsessed with adding new things into the films. Some crazy Luddite fans are obsessed with keeping everything exactly the same, because, damn it, that's how they originally saw them! Nevermind the millions of fans who actually like these changes, they don't, so obviously it shouldn't happen at all.
It's like two sides of a same coin. Neither side respects the other.

is it that good? i'll need to check it out.Veidt said:Anyone watch the 3 hour or so BBC documentary on Blade Runner?
Felt like they could have sold that shit separately on Blu-ray, and people would have bought it.
It's brilliant.Chinner said:is it that good? i'll need to check it out.
Is it not the Dangerous Days doc from the blu set?Veidt said:Anyone watch the 3 hour or so BBC documentary on Blade Runner?

Wait, BBC documentary? I watched 'Dangerous Days', included with Final Cut. I didn't think that was BBC? And yes, despite being nearly four hours, that shit was incredible. Didn't check my watch once. Was completely transfixed. The dude who made it was a long-time Ridley documentarian. He paced the whole thing like a proper film-maker, so despite being a bunch of talking heads for over three hours the thing had energy and driving force.Veidt said:Anyone watch the 3 hour or so BBC documentary on Blade Runner?

I want to, but Ridley is making his Alien prequel AS WE SPEAK. Will wait for the Anthology+1 set.Veidt said:Speaking of Ridley Scott. Everyone here should purchase the ALIEN anthology.
Aren't the LD transfers on the DVD set widescreen? They might not be anamorphic, but in DVD terms that only means they're somewhat lower resolution.Marty Chinn said:Too bad there isn't a good legal widescreen version. You gotta get a fan edit for one of those.
"Somewhat"?!androvsky said:Aren't the LD transfers on the DVD set widescreen? They might not be anamorphic, but in DVD terms that only means they're somewhat lower resolution.
Also you require a TV with a "zoom" option or you're in a world of letterbox/windowbox hurt.androvsky said:Aren't the LD transfers on the DVD set widescreen? They might not be anamorphic, but in DVD terms that only means they're somewhat lower resolution.
It is.PhoncipleBone said:Is it not the Dangerous Days doc from the blu set?

Most TVs do... but watching on some PC monitors and such, there is no "zoom".
We're in a thread mainly discussing the blu-ray versions, so yes, somewhat."Somewhat"?!
I bought it, and am I glad I am supporting the upcoming release. And I will buy the other film separately.Suairyu said:I want to, but Ridley is making his Alien prequel AS WE SPEAK. Will wait for the Anthology+1 set.
Oh.. is there an easy way to rip it and have it be basically anamorphic widescreen?androvsky said:Yeah, that part bites. For people that are ripping them anyway, the fix is a simple crop away.

Actual anamorphic (squeezed) is hard to do, but if you cut down the size of the black bars until the result is 16:9, PCs and widescreen TVs should all be able to play it back fine without having to fiddle with zooming.BocoDragon said:Oh.. is there an easy way to rip it and have it be basically anamorphic widescreen?
Yeah, that too I guess.That's why you watch them on PC with Media Player Classic or VLC Player. They let you zoom.
Yeah, George Lucas.funkystudent said:wait......... cant Lucas just release the real versions in a few years?
Is there anything stopping that?
