WarlockJA, almost too easy. That is why so much crap gets made today. There might continue to be some very entertaining movies, but there will never be another classic. Those days are gone.
Yeah, without the need to be creative in how things are represented they’ve also lost alot of cleverness. When you physically cannot make something it forces you to distill it down to the idea, the purpose. If there is none drop it. Now they just make it anyways. Filmmakers of today would do well to remember just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.
I own the original trilogy on VSH, with its 4:3 perspective. When I got a DVD player, I purchased the digitized wide-screen version (because if it ain’t wide-screen/letter-boxed, it’s CRRRAAAPPPP!) to get the widescreen experience. In the bonus disk, we get to see the making of the original movie, with all the characters in the home movie above doing what they do best.
In an interview segment on the bonus disc, Lucas says this digitized release was done because (i am paraphrasing here), “This is how I would have done the movie then, if I could have.”
With that statement, he shat upon all the hard work the people in the video above did. He basically shat upon their hard work that made him rich in the first place. What an a$$h0le!@
My 2 cents (where is the “cents” symbol on my keyboard? It is on my typewriter…)
Okay watching that has made me want to go back and rewatch the original trilogy.
The stuff they did back then, was such an undertaking. Movie makers today have it so much easier.
Awesomely awesome! Those ponytail having, beard wearing doods made history!!

That was AWESOME!
