The DVD upcoming release link at www.dvdtalk.com: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/bargain.php Also, www.thedigitalbits.com is very good. They just announced that Revenge of the Sith is expected to hit stores 11/8/05, for instance.

As I said earlier based on the current subject matter in comics themselves--I'm not surprised that you do. What's amusing to think about is what the reaction would have been if Sin City had been G or PG-13 rated. Many people have no problem with coarsening family material, but tone something...

You got that right! :) I'm not saying it should have been G, just that the current film was way too far from a G. There's a pretty big range under PG-13. From cartoony comic violence (X-Men, Spider-Man) to full-on nudity (Titanic). They've never swung toward the "Titanic" side when it comes...

But not family friendly. I wouldn't classify a major character propositioning (successfully even) a nurse to enjoy an impromptu nude "hot" tub out in the snow on their first date or Hooteresque BMXXX cheerleaders as exactly G-rated family material.

A gave it a 3. The worst "event" film of the summer by far and probably the worst big budget super hero film ever made. Worse than The Punisher. Incredibly weak Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, and Dr. Doom. I'm not even a stickler for adhering exactly to the comics, but these characters were...

Actually no, try and track down a copy of the old VHS tape "From Star Wars to Jedi." It has the original Jabba scene, sans the CGI Jabba. No Boba Fett. Lucas thought it would be cool to add him in 1997 so they filmed an ILM employee wearing the costume in front of a green screen and...

Another solid 9 for me, a higher 9 than Batman Begins and lower than Cinderella Man. One of the greatest summers for films in a long time. Awesomely intense. My wife thought it was the scariest movie she'd ever seen. She was literally on edge or the verge of tears for about an hour and 45...

1. Revenge of the Sith *mile wide gap* 2. Cinderella Man 3. War of the Worlds 4. Batman Begins The only other movies I've seen at the theater this year were Madagascar and Kingdom of Heaven. The former was okay but Kingdom of Heaven was probably the worst "epic" movie I've ever seen...

"That's what you said when Biggs and Tank left." --Luke to Uncle Owen on Tatooine. "All of his friends have gone..." --Aunt Beru "Hey Luke!" "Biggs!" "I told you I'd make it!" --Luke and Biggs in new Yavin IV scene Do you really know people who are too dense to connect the dots? As for...

Oh...so in the Detention Center Han blasted the comlink as soon as it turned on then wondered what would happen? Oh no wait...he tried to talk his way out of the situation first, then blasted the comlink controls. Wow, who'd a thought. Anyway, I don't see a change in Han, George said Greedo...

That's pretty much what I said, yes. Oh please, your little bid for artistic high ground by demeaning the visuals and sound as nothing more than "bright lights, loud sounds, and explosivey explosions" isn't fooling anyone. This is the Star Wars saga. You're not impressing anyone to imply that...

Actually I wasn't comparing the Skakespeare plays with my experience or your experience, but rather with the "millions of people" that have had their first viewing of Star Wars between now and 1997 be of the Special Editions. For those millions, I wager most will see viewing the originals as...

And how many of those updated movies were "improved" by their original creators? I suspect Star Wars will be just like The Hobbit novel or Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Both were revised by their creators after initially being released to the public and most people aren't even aware of...

All the way up until Return of the Jedi, according to Star Wars The Annotated Screenplays. I highly recommend picking up this collection as its annotated by Lucas, Kasdan, Irvin Kershner, and some of the conceptual artists and crew. It breaks down the evolution of the story meetings and...

It was the first film, or movie rather, shot digitally on High Definition. I'm not sure about the digital projection, for some reason I seem to recall hearing about a digital showing of one of the Toy Story films before AOTC was released, but I'm not 100% on that one. From Rick McCallum's...

The films that changed the industry? Yes. The best versions of the Star Wars films? No. But if all you care about is watching films that "change the industry" then you better run out and pick up Attack of the Clones on DVD immediately if you haven't already. That film was the beginning of...

Actually it was 1995 (bought 'em all on laserdisc), and those pictures were pale successors to the awesome painted art of the original theater posters...

If the saga was complete in 1997, then that makes you an advocate of "Greedo shoots first." Otherwise you would have said the saga was complete in 1983. Nothing wrong with that you Special Edition fanboy. ;)

Even though your post was quoted Rackhir, I was actually replying to the sentiment that Sebastian Shaw got "screwed" which was expressed by another poster. James Earl Jones' contribution to the character of Vader had much more of an impact. Where's his acknowledgement? Why wasn't his face...

Yep, just like the actor who originally played Jabba the Hutt got "screwed". Or all the Stormtrooper extras. How dare Lucas not show their faces. And in one scene in ROTJ, you can see one ewok in the distance who isn't facing the camera. An outrage. Even worse, apparently there are actors...
