every great film series will always be put on new medium as technology changes.
that album you had on vinyl, was probably on 8track,cassette,cd,and now mp3..
why should george lucas stop making money on his product because you already have it? if he wants to modernize his films to match the texture of the prequels thats up to him...nothing that he has changed has made the story of the films really any different. and i'd say that a guy who grossed 6.7 billion with ticket prices on six films not counting any merchandising can do whatever he wants.
ill be making a new shirt design with mr lucas on it and in quotes above it will read "fuck your childhood, get money."

Minor tweaks in re-mastering is expected but adding Autotune to Vincent Price on Thriller is bullshit.
had the blu ray on pre order for months but I cancelled it ~ 3 weeks ago after I really thought about it.
Original VHS tapes
the 97 restoration VHS tapes
prequels on DVD
the OG trilogy on DVD
the OG Theatrical Versions DVDs
George Lucas has enough of my $$$, that and I read about the horrible tinkering he's done with the Blu Rays (small changes in number but another kick in the nuts for SW fans)
im sorry you didnt appreciate jabba/boba new hope addition, or wicket blinking..
I'd hatt for Quincy Jones to spin a story on how Thriller was a rough draft and im remastering it cause MJ always wants Bubbles on Bass guitar.
Lucas is gamin' muthafuckas.

Lucas is a fucking hack. He always was and always will be. American Graffiti and THX 1138 are OK, but he got lucky with Star Wars and the only talent he's shown since is the ability to milk that luck for every last bean it's worth. I remember an article that collected some of the fanboy reactions when The Phantom Menace came out ("It's official - I have wasted my life" being an especially memorable one), and things like that (and some of the things you guy have written) have always made me grateful for being just a little too old to have had anything emotionally invested in this whole Star Wars shit from the beginning. And besides ... (pause, deep breath) ... the movies really weren't that great anyway. If Lucas believed they were, he'd leave them alone.
This is a pretty interesting story, for those of you who ever wondered what actually caused Lucas to fall the fuck off even harder than Nas.
i watched the og last night and it was fine.
im now peepin the remix and the color updates are crazy.
There are times when it really works and there are times when cats are just overdoing it.
Same with the sound updgrades.
When The Jawas shoot R2 the sound of the thump when he falls sounds like dude weighs 800 pounds.
star wars, apocolypse now and the big lebowski are in a dead heat for greediest amount of re -releases.
dead heat? it's not even close. star wars completely blows all of them away. so many re-releases. i heard he's re-releasing all 6 films in 3-d in theaters soon, even.
apocalypse now redux was overdone, i will agree with that. but what other re-releases of that do i not know?
and the big lebowski? i'm not even sure where that came from. they haven't changed that movie at all as far as i know. never re-released it in theaters at all. i think they had 2 (maybe 3?) different editions on dvd, and they recently released it on blu-ray, but that doesn't seem out of the ordinary.
am i missing something? if so, please fill me in on stuff i don't know about with those other two films. i'm not sure how star wars doesn't crush every film in history in this department.

Big Lebowski = greatest comedy of the nineties / the end

If you havnt seen the Red letter Media review of The Phantom Menace go do it now. Hilarious and spot on point.
i know when Lucas did the prequals he said that the entire story is supposed to be seen through R2s eyes.
The Red Letter Media reviews were way better than the movies they were reviewing. I even loved the Star Trek reviews they did.
Anakins legs got burned off after his fight with obi-wan in rots, so vader has robotic legs.
Then DVD came out a few years later.
Seems like whatever you buy they will keep churning out more.

Anything involving Mr. Met is doomed to be completely lame.

You still Rollerblade?
Nobody's touching Evil Dead 1-2 and Army of Darkness.
pls to summarize?
Lucas's wife rounded out his game. They split and dude tries to remix his life with CGI.
meanwhile, at disneyland...
oh snap
Instead of upgrading dude should better downgrade:

I still have to watch it though, but the first minutes really look good.
