barbarian: not bad but you could go your life without seeing it and it wouldn't be a big deal. I did like when the guy finds a mysterious secret tunnel in his basement and he immediately checks to see if the extra square footage adds to the value of his house.

out of all the bullshit that they came back and changed for the worse in the star wars trilogy, probably the least-recognized crime is renaming "star wars" to "star wars episode iv: a new hope." the title looked cool, it was such a crisp and great title, and they retconned it to sound like a middle chapter in the simarillion

quote:Lucas has stated that he always intended for Greedo to shoot first.In 2015, a replica of an early script for Star Wars was discovered in the archives of the University of New Brunswick library. In the script, dated March 15, 1976, only Han shoots.

It's extremely weird how lucas won't just admit that he made everything up as he went along. I don't think anyone would even care, either. But that makes him feel this weird need to lie about han shooting first to pretend that han, like darth vader, etc. was actually intended to be a recurring character in a trilogy that was planned out from the beginning rather than just being a random seedy character like you would expect in the type of serials george lucas was actually originally trying to copy in his movies mystes fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Jan 16, 2024 |

SWChat I'm still checking Usenet every few months but still no 4K80.2160p , they must be putting a fine polish on this release. 77 and 83 have been available for ages, there must be some extra work needed for this final one.

I’ll have to check on the status of that, the print they have for 4k80 is in a lot worse shape than 77/83, I forget if they were going to try to finish it or wait for a better print to materialize

oh yeah one 35mm print i know is in great shape is Wizards because several years ago i went to a screening at the Hollywood Theater in portland oregon and i remember thinking "wow, goddamn, this looks incredible, amazing transfer" and then in the little post-movie event they mentioned that Fox had been kind enough to let them borrow/rent a 35mm print they even got the original score composer out and he played some of the music live. whole lot of fun.
