For what it's worth, the copy that streaming sites use is definitely not the lovely edit with the insane comic-panel transitions. MacheteZombie posted:Dammit, not surprised though. I mean, from what I remember that was the point of that edit. Tarantino specifically made a cut to exist in home-media formats (TV screens, phones, tablets, whatever) and then a big stupid ostentatious cut to only exist in a big stupid ostentatious medium.

Tarantino has very specific ideas about the medium of film that contribute to his directing style, but also lead to him doing weird poo poo like that.

I mean personally the main reason I want the original versions of the OT to be acknowledged is for historical preservation purposes. It's entirely possible that both the Despecialized Editions and the Team Negative1 edition of ANH will eventually be lost to time, if the seeders drop from all the torrents and the existing copies are lost to hard drive failures and general attrition; while the adage is that things last forever in the age of the Internet, there's a surprising amount that doesn't, especially where piracy is concerned. Meanwhile, while Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back have theoretically been added to the National Film Registry, they have prints of neither movie, because Lucasfilm was only willing to offer them the Special Edition and they're fairly insistent on having the originals. Lucasfilm is so loving adamant about not letting the originals out that not even the Library of Congress has been able to talk them into it, even with it being solely in the name of preservation (the chances of somebody making a pilgrimage to the Library of Congress to watch Star Wars without the CGI are... probably higher than I'm willing to give credit for, but still, pretty drat slim). SuperMechagodzilla posted:The Exorcist was re-released six-years after its original theatrical run. This 1979 version had an 'updated' sound mix and various visual alterations. The 1973 version has never been given a home release. This is mildly disingenuous. The 1979 and 1973 cuts of The Exorcist are, aspect ratio and sound mix aside, indistinguishable from each other; a more accurate comparison, if you intend for it to be analogous with Star Wars, would be if the Version You've Never Seen were the only widely-available cut of the film.

George Lucas is a crazy rear end in a top hat and I'm really glad he can never hurt Star Wars again.

To Lucas' defense, the Special Editions only exist because Star Wars '77 was in such loving hideous condition by 1994. Since 30-40% of the effects had to be re-composited anyways... Also, Han shooting Greedo was changed apparently because the MPAA threatened a PG-13 re-rating. That's also why a few frames were snipped here and there to remove impacts of blaster hits. Of course, it's a moot point considering the last three Star Wars films have been rated PG-13... For that matter, the MPAA changed THX-1138 from PG to R for the director's cut, despite the content that earned that rating was always in the film.

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but this is pretty interesting. TLDR, the Titanic might've been hosed before it hit the iceberg. A fire, allegedly, made the hull weaker than it normally would've been.

Not exactly. Gilliam's initial cut was released in Europe. He cut it as a compromise to get Universal to release it. The director's cut as released by Criterion is basically the European cut with a few of the US cut changes that Gilliam preferred. Also, the premiere cuts of Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago are lost. The 1988 restoration of LoA was trimmed slightly per David Lean and one scene omitted due to missing audio. Doctor Zhivago was initially released about 10-15 minutes longer before it was trimmed to its current cut. This was only because David Lean had to deliver an edit in time for the premiere.

The 25th Anniversary's blue is likely an attempt at restoring/approximating the original look. The ones you perceived as the less-shameful and untouched originals are actually the bigger deviation.
