UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD (1 Viewer)

The phrase "moral right" is basically nonsense designed to sound more meaningful than it really is.

On this we disagree. If an author does not want their work to be used for purposes with which they clearly disagree, that is a moral objection. It's not the same as the common definition of moral, and hardly nonsense.

Time to stop flogging this dead horse. When we start advocating for the way things ought to be for the entire public, we start verging into politics, which are clearly forbidden on this forum.

Again, back to regularly scheduled programming.

OK, I get that. But James Cameron objecting to Aliens or True Lies or The Abyss being released in their original theatrical forms, with grain and colors as he himself originally photographed them before changing his mind years after-the-fact, is not a moral objection. It's just Jim Cameron being an a--hole.

Just like a lawyer to bring politics into a discussion about art.

I just checked in to see how one of my favorite HTF threads is doing (the other one being The Abyss). After reading a thoughtful exploration of the legal morality raised by the recent ALIENS Blu-Ray transfer—as compared and contrasted to taking a dump on some geese sculptures—I can assert being fully satisfied and can sleep soundly now.
