[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 211048, member: 134"] So right that I think I'll wait until Mike R gets those elements from art department and drops them in! Back to what is important. I have the original versions of Star Wars on laserdisc, which is where they transferred them to DVD from. With the DVDs not being anamorphic, there was no point in upgrading then. What I find fascinating is how there IS no definitive version of the original. The 70mm print differed slightly from the 35mm print which differed from the 1 year anniversary print. There is a guy assembling a cut now that pulls from 6 different sources AND includes his own color correction. The current Blu-ray suffers from the same magenta hue that TPA was going through for a while even! (see that? made it about pinball, didn't I?) With Disney owning the property, I find it very difficult to believe that they won't eventually squeeze this cash cow and give the fans what they want, in a giant uber edition. I'm talking the original versions properly color timed, the Special Edition versions matching that, and who knows what else. I love what they did for Blade Runner, where they put 5 versions of the film all in one release. Just make everybody happy. Apart from that Kill Bill release, I'm also waiting for someone to do a loving restoration of Hard Boiled. As long as it is owned by the Weinsteins and put out by Dragon Dynasty, there's no hope. Criterion put out wonderful laserdiscs of that and The Killer, so I'm really hoping at some point they do something. Like Star Wars, there are various versions with differing aspect ratios, coloring, sub-titles, dub-titles, and various conditions of the source print. It's very frustrating. Shoot, I haven't even bought Road Warrior on DVD or Blu-ray because I thought for sure there would eventually be a special edition of it. Instead I just have my laserdisc. See how I am? Just like my TV...I own something on a completely inferior format, but refuse to pay for a stop gap! [/QUOTE]
