![]() If the 4K set does not contain the original versions (1977-83), I won't be buying. Any exclusive bonus features - used as an inducement to sway / make me forget about the original theatrical cuts, will not work this time. ![]() |

The original 1979 theatrical version is my favourite, and I'm very happy with the restoration, but the DC should have also received the same love - it's not the ideal cut, but it's still ALIEN. |

Most Star Wars fans do not hate him - as evident by the continued success of his company and the insane cheers he got at various Celebrations. Are you serious claiming Star Wars successful has nothing to do with Lucas? Please. ![]() If you didn't like the way Lucas did thinks you shouldn't have contributed to his wealth. If Lucas is actually being "childish" then he is behaving no different to does who rant about hating him, etc. I have no idea what Lucas' motivations and thoughts actually are but if it were some kind of flicking the bird to people who rant about the films (as some ranters claim it is) I would get a few chuckles out of that. I have the VHS of the originals and the Special Editions box (I think) somewhere. If I want to watch the original versions I can get out the old video tape player and put them on. Star Wars has brought me years of happiness - eve the EU and Force Awakens. That is ALL down to Lucas. Even if it hadn't and I had disliked the special editions, prequels etc I would not hate anyone. That is just ridiculous. Star Wars is a fairy tale. A bunch of movies. Something serious wrong if a person develops an emotion like hatred from any of it. |

I could live with a proper final cut of SW with small changes like this:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In a nutshell: correct some goofs, tweak some special effects with care(!) and enhance some matte paintings. No additional scenes, no shots/scenes that are 100% CGI. Original color timing. |

So you think they’d be against HD masters of their movies but have no problem with them being in VHS or DVD quality? And Hitchcock would be just as outraged with dirt removal as he would with CGI blood being added to the shower scene in Psycho? |

I think Terminator 2 was the first to do it. I said earlier I too want a definitive box set with all the versions at the time I wasn't thinking about the various tweaks that have been made to even the Prequels. How times have the six films actually had changes? My choice would be a digital and disc boxset with : - the OT in their original unmastered versions - the originals remastered for HD, 4K, Dolby sound (I'm neutral on that myself but others want that) - the OT special editions - the PT theatrical versions - the PT home release versions - all nine films with isolated score - all nine films with isolated sound effects track - every bonus feature they have - and what would get me to buy blu-ray is some nifty extra features with the film in storyboard mode, view the films pre-VFX, etc. |

There's no dedicated thread to the Project 4K77 stuff that I can see (perhaps there should be), so can I ask what the feelings about it are on this forum please?
I have copies of both 4k77 and 4k83 and it really is lovely to see the scenes that didn't get mangled. But I have to say some of the scenes (I think from memory it might be the trash compactor scene) do have alot of grain and noticeable distortion. Does that add to the authenticity for you lot? It did distract alot for me as I'm not used to it. |

You deny you are making stuff up about Lucas and you admit you are in the next sentence. "Suggested a possibility" means you are making it up. No you are incorrect. I said I believe Scott has complained about it - meaning I have a memory of it but that that it not something I'm claiming is a fact. That is not the same thing as claiming some insight into his mind. What people say isn't always how they feel. It is logical to Lucas. You just don't like it. It makes sense to him. I have no idea how Hitchcock, Ford, Chaplin, etc, would feel about any home entertainment technology. Maybe Chaplin was spinning in his grave at the notion of VHS. Maybe Hitchcock would never have wanted his movies watched anywhere except on a cinema screen. Remastering a movie is altering it from the way it is. Adding a 5.1 track is overwriting the original artists work. It is all the same thing. Was CG blood added to Psycho? When did that happen? The blu-ray? |

What is the source they are using? Reels from the original release I assume. Last edited by ManOfTheForest; 07-02-2019 at 11:59 AM. |

No, but if it was it would be no different from cleaning up dirt and scratches according to you. I’m fine with mild things being done to make a film look better than it did on VHS or DVD or even its theatrical run as long as they don’t drastically alter the film and are merely small cosmetic things. Sometimes errors or artifacts are more obvious in an HD presentation than they are when projected on film in a theater. |
