The whole thing with the Barjack's rail gun is hilariously sad because they pour so much effort, time, and resources into it, it gets one shot off and it fails to penetrate the shield of Zalem/Tiphares and immediately after they fire it off, it gets loving melted by the electromagnetic scalar weapon of Zalem/Tiphares' defense network and then the Gally/Alita clone chops most of the gang up..

There was briefly a DVD release of the original trilogy before the prequels were announced I think (though even that may have had some changes because Lucas has piddled around with certain sounds and stuff for years) so you can find bootlegs of that for sale or download some times. E: There may have been a Laserdisc version at some point, too. EE: But no, there is no legal way to purchase the original films other than second-hand at this point. Usually on VHS.

george lucas posted:Today, engineers with their computers can add color to black-and-white movies, change the soundtrack, speed up the pace, and add or subtract material to the philosophical tastes of the copyright holder. Tomorrow, more advanced technology will be able to replace actors with “fresher faces,” or alter dialogue and change the movement of the actor’s lips to match. It will soon be possible to create a new “original” negative with whatever changes or alterations the copyright holder of the moment desires. The copyright holders, so far, have not been completely diligent in preserving the original negatives of films they control. In order to reconstruct old negatives, many archivists have had to go to Eastern bloc countries where American films have been better preserved.

Immortan posted:I've heard Lucas has even edited Hayden Christenson into ROTJ. This is literally true. He passionately argued against this very thing much earlier in his career in a Senate hearing, since Turner had been buying up tons of old movies and colorizing them and editing them for content and not really keeping the original cuts around. He even warned that technology would allow someone to replace the original actors with younger, fresher faces, or change lines and alter the message and meaning of a scene or entire movie! Then he apparently made it his life's mission to do so. The only real difference is that he was the original license holder, whereas Turner was not, so apparently Lucas is fine with making GBS threads up your old stuff with endless tweaking, but not other people's stuff. E: Beaten like a fridged wife.

Like what the gently caress, he literally purged the original actor from the scene and it makes no sense like who the gently caress thought that was okay, how do you even come up with an idea like that

It turns out all people want to see is Iron Man making a sardonic quip. Or Captain America making a sardonic quip. Or Hawkeye making a sardonic quip. Or Ultron making a sardonic quip....gently caress's sake.

quote:“Batman v Superman” is now looking to wind up this weekend with a 17-day total of around $295 million. It’s been beset by mostly negative reviews — although the notices for “The Boss” have been even less supportive with an 18% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. "American's pay millions to see unpopular movies: News at 11." So, at the end of the day, being out nearly 3 weeks, it's made nearly $300M, which is probably pretty good. At this rate, it'll probably do between $320-$340M domestically, or maybe climb as high as $375-$400M if the rumors of WB re-releasing as the extended R-rated cut are true. All things considered, it's not really the flop I think most people are making it out to be with the exception of it not making half-billion dollars.
