FlamingLiberal posted:So Abrams asked Lucasfilm if there is any way for them to re-release the theatrical cuts of the OT in a newer format (their last release was a 1995 VHS), and he was told they can't, but was not given a reason. OT got a 2006 DVD release.

All the theaters have assigned seating and are full of enforcement cops, so my dreams of paying to see cats and walking into ros fizzled. Now I'm resigned to paying JJ 15 dollars to laugh at him

I really don't get the shock about this online. They're reusing old unused footage, like they said they would, and they touched it up a bit to make it fit the story/setting of the new film. What a surprise. Gladiator did something similar in 2000 with Oliver Reed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCkZr5k6ZjA cargohills fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Dec 15, 2019 |

LionArcher posted:Yes they were If I remember correctly, the original Star Wars movie was changed from it's initial theatrical release as early as the June 1977 mono release. Again in 1980. And in 1981 to edit the crawl to match ESB. So which theatrical release do we want?

Darko posted:From a ways back, but Looper has the main issue TLJ does, where it spends an entire film establishing something, then just changing everything in the last 3rd. In Looper's case, causality and inevitability being a curse that rules everything, then, nope. its the same issue all of rian johnson’s lovely movies have: his lovely writing

Knives Out is great and I like Looper but when TLJ came out I remember somebody somewhere saying "This movie was clearly made by the guy who decided his time travelling hitmen movie needed telekinesis" and that's a pretty good take on Rian. Brick is also really good but the plot actually requires JGL not to know what the girl was talking about in the phone call when she mentions a brick and it's like, come on dude there's weird lingo in this movie but that one's real easy, it's drugs! But then again I always read JGL in that movie as actually being a massive dumbass, not the cool smart guy he might sometimes play at being. Rian's got some contrivances in his writing is what I'm saying.

I'm legit surprised they haven't - I'd watch the hell outta that, and surely a lot of fans would want copies? I guess it must be a brand protection thing, they must have thought of it. Or maybe a licence issue with the stock footage?

My hot take is that Episode 9 will be “the best one” by default because it’s hard to imagine it being worse than the others. Palpatine’s back, Terrio is a wildcard who could make it actually-good, and I appreciate the ridiculousness of making the entirety of Episode 8 into an optional sidequest. Of course I will absolutely not be paying to see it.

SirDrone posted:It sucks and I haven't tasted it therefore it sucks! The first time, it tasted formulaic and familiar. The second time is was largely a deconstructed mess, and not to my taste. This time, all the scuttlebutt from the kitchen is that the chefs have no idea what the menu should look like, and are slicing together something at the last moment. I'm perfectly content to let somebody else taste this one first.

SMG, have you considered stealing a theater worker's uniform or crawling through a theatre's air vents or something? All these supposed spoilers is ensuring that I watch this thing on day one. Maybe even first screening. I need to know!

Nice that Disney left the door wide open with Palpatine returning again because if the guy survived being chucked into a reactor, exploding, and then being vaporized along with the Death Star 2 why would getting fried by lightning slow him down

Just to get more Hayden Christensen but also it feels weirdly like it would dovetail more with the other movies and what Kylo was all about in Force Awakens than with oh poo poo Palpatine out of nowhere.
