I dont think anyone from Uni responded directly, but their press release was posted there. I think that's an honest misunderstanding...

And with no indication of what was being fixed...

Robert, there's also international law at play - As I mentioned earlier, the Danish DGA on behalf of Sydney Pollack brought suit against the pan and scan showing of 3 Days of the Condor in Denmark. Now a director would not have such standing here, but does there, so the absolute rights of...

And I believe Star Wars et. al. are still under copyright... Robert - I agree totally with your post. The artists should be able to do as they wish. The public then should support or not support with their dollars. But I do not have the right to alter art because I feel it is better for...

Lucas was talking about others altering works - not the artists themselves.

Oy vey - I need to use the [sarcasm] tag.

To quote Homer Simpson, "In case you couldn't tell, I was BEING sarcastic" I support Lucas' right to do anything he wants to Star Wars. It is his film, not yours

Yeah, those pesky artists should be kept away from their own creations. They're such children!

I'll reply to your PM with that, rather than further diverting this thread with that discussion...

I'd love to see Universal release his "The Andromeda Strain" and "The Hindenburg", and on the other hand he's the person that cut Ambersons (yes, on orders from RKO). I guess as a filmmaker I want to support the right for another creator to make changes - be it in post or 20 years later. Do I...

David - I see your point, but it could be the fact that Universal for example is perhaps seen as a faceless conglomerate, and Nick is here with us posting. It could be also that people might be more passionate about Hitchcock or Indy Jones than the remake of NotLD. I think that people tend to...

Legally, yes studios have the right to release titles or not, and to release them as they wish. If another entity (a director, producer, etc) has contractual rights over content (final cut, etc) they have a say about how the material is released. This is different in each country, as in Denmark...

True, and actually ST:TMP was just going into general release as I was born. I saw it a few times on LD, but didn't really fall for it until the Director's Version, and I like it better than all but IV and VI (Yes, even II). Just out of curiosity, you can certainly argue that Wise's DVD version...

Eh, I could have said "until Paramount redoes the FX in HD" *shrug*

Hence "making it available" would require them to re-do them in HD. Perhaps I should have worded it better...

Not buying that film again until they make the Director's Edition available in HD. That's the only version of the film that flows well - In My Opinion. And as to NOTLD90 - if Mr. Savini approves this disc, then that's the end of it for me. The creator has the right to do what they want, as I...

I don't think he was asking rhetorically like "does anybody really remember their birth" or something, I think he was asking if anyone here remembered a theatrical viewing and how do their impressions compare to either released version... Of course I could be wrong...

This. The DVD version looked WAY too bright to me for the type of film this is. Disclaimer: this is just one man's opinion having not ever seen this film. Nick and Brian are class acts and situations like this just go to prove that. I know they will have NO trouble selling any copies that come...

Good thing you can probably sell your BD for a profit on eBay then, Richard ;)

Again, There is a big difference between fluff "bonuses" and actual extras that add to the understanding and enjoyment of a film If a film comes on its own, then it is, infact a "barebones" release. That is the accepted term for that. TT titles, if I am not mistaken all come with the extra of an...

I think there's a difference between swag items and substantive extras such as commentary and deleted scenes etc. If I have two films I like and one has some good extras and the other is "barebones" the film with extras gets my dollars. I understand there are some here who don't have an...
