Hat Thoughts posted:Yeah but the thing I was saying earlier is that what you're asking for exactly already exists exactly. I don't understand why it being unofficial/not available for "purchase" somehow makes it less valid when you can still get it super easy. Well, as far as I can see the un-official versions are created from the NTSC Laserdisc, which mean that the source material only has a resolution of 580 × 480 with 268,800 pixels, and no matter how much you polish that it won't ever come close to a blu-ray resolution of 1920 × 1080 with 2,073,600 pixels taken from film. There's your reason.

The fan restoration of A New Hope is being restored from a 35mm film scan. Or is it already done? I don't keep up to date with all these fan projects.

It's the 40th anniversary and there's a new 4K restoration) I imagine Disney would have to deliver the biggest dumpster truck full of cash at Fox's front door in order to get that released, though.

Due to a weekend without internet/ a small selection of dvds, I ended up watching the Astronaut Farmer recently. It's a mediocre movie, more of a ham fisted libertarian parable than entertainment, but it ended up being accidentally interesting. The movie has a lot of "heroic rancher vs the government" imagery, but after seeing the bundy standoff so prominently in the news lately, it was impossible to read those images as anything but rural terrorist endangers his family and radicalizes his children. I'm fascinated by the way real world events overwhelmed the intended message of the film and sort of reversed it (at least for me), and would definitely be interested in watching movies that were similarly impacted by real world events that happened after the movies were released, if anyone has any suggestions.

I never saw The Astronaut Farmer, but everything that I know about it makes it sound like it has themes ranging from intellectually perverse to disgustingly anti-science. Rambo 3's message continues to be great, and does much more to inform the context of real world events than the other way around.

Safety Factor posted:I loving love Rambo 3 for how out of place it is today. Looking at it from a post 9/11 and Afghanistan War mindset sure is something. If I remember right, they actually changed the dedication at the end from the mujahideen fighters to the people of Afghanistan. Yeah lol

MisterBibs posted:Sorry if this has been mentioned, but this is pretty interesting. It's been known about for years (It was actually reported at the time) but was often downplayed as not that important. Ultimately it was probably a lot more important than people first realised, and White Star covered it up. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but that's pretty much what they did because it would make them culpable. Knowing that Fireman who made it off the ship could testify that the loving thing had been on fire since the day they set sail, White Star Line told the New York inquest that all the Firemen died. When it came time for the full inquest, the Judge - who had ties to the shipbuilding industry - repeatedly denounced any claims that the fire had anything to do with the sinking. Firemen had to fight to be able to testify, and when it was done he still dismissed it. It was also the reason the ship was going so fast. It wasn't trying to break records like some people claim, they were getting rid of the burning cole by shovelling it into the furnaces. By the time the fire was put out they had just enough fuel to get them to New York. Surprise surprise, what really did them in was White Star Line cutting corners and using lovely steel to save money and to get the work done faster.

Even knowing it was a film about Orson Welles sewing Greek gods into flesh, Malpertuis was somehow weirder than I imagined it would be.

Timby posted:I imagine Disney would have to deliver the biggest dumpster truck full of cash at Fox's front door in order to get that released, though. Not exactly. George Lucas traded the ownership of Star Wars '77 for the merchandising rights. Great decision, but it means that it'll remain the only Star Wars property not wholly owned by Lucasfilm. Even The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi are owned by Lucasfilm, but Fox has most distribution rights until 2020. While few films are as big as Star Wars, it'll be as simple as Fox licensing rights to Disney. Studios do this all the time. Disney traded the contract for someone at ESPN to Universal for exchange for all the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons Walt produced. One idea would be that Fox could license Star Wars '77 to Disney in exchange for licenses to parts of their library or the rights to remakes. I don't know if the new 4K was a Fox or Lucasfilm project. However, you can't restore the film in 4K without going back to the original elements. All the 1997 stuff was rendered at 2K or less. Given that they've reworked parts piecemeal... the Kenobi/Vader fight was totally rotoscoped from scratch for the 2004 master, so they had to use the camera negative.

My fav bit so far is when Curtis deliberately pisses off Gaddafi's son just so he'll go on a rant about how Libya is only fake because America is fake, but if you wanna be cool America has to like you.
