Check this out - Patrick Mirza at DavisDVD has a comparison page of the alterations and additions to THX-1138 up. If you're bored of the OT changes, try these on for size:

THX-1138 2004 Edition

Revisionist:


Real version:


I'm really torn on this. I like what the changes look like they'll do for the movie. It was way too ambitious for its budget and looks like it probably makes more sense with these changes. The print is obviously head and shoulders above any home video version ever. Probably never looked this good in its theatrical run, actually. However, I would like the original available for archive, and I don't own the LD. Pretty annoying.

I found The Twilight Zone Collection 1 containing about 9 volumes of the original Twilight Zone series. Very sweet buy, and only $45... I can't seem to find Collection 2 for anything under $80. Why?  ???

Paging through those changes Jared I might now have to check the whole thingout.  I've seen THX a couple of times, thought it was pretty neat, especially to see where Lucas was coming from in SW and the whole Empire thing.  Reading Brave New World right now doesn't help fuel the desire to see this one again, especially the bastardized Lucas version

Bleck. So much for all the cases matching, and that cover "art" is crap. Think that's the UK 1-sheet.

High-powered fans should be used in the creation of all movie posters.

Pretty cool coverart:



Even for tv movies that were childish and stupid, back in the day when I was a child, and stupid.

Anyone picking these up?  I have thought about it, I remember them from when I was a kid...and it might be kind of neat for our nephews to watch when they come visit us.  I remember when I was a kid wondering where Han, Chewie, Luke, Leia, Vader, and the others were  ;)

I agree, I guess that is what I thought when they were initially announced, but it looks like they are just "double features".  That way they can milk us for more money  ;)

I'll be skipping the cartoons for the same reason - I'd rather have complete seasons.

Any good deals down in the US right now, Best Buy or whatever?  Off to Fargo tomorrow (yes, that Fargo).
