Please, no. Spielberg is still doing great work (IMHO). Maybe Rick McCallum?

It wouldn't be the first time a movie was misrepresented by its trailer.

You haven't seen Raiders of the Lost Ark?

That behind the scenes footage was shot by Vivian Kubrick, I presume? I wonder why they don't just release all of it (and that of The Shining as well), if it still exists.

Scott Pilgrim was based on comics too, and clearly, the studios haven't exactly stopped making those movies since then :).

What, again? He's said that at least three times, both after Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith. And after the last one he did a Star Wars TV-series, Indy 4 and another SW series still to be made. Don't get me wrong, I rather liked THX 1138 (before he went and changed everything) and...

Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the best directors working in Hollywood these days, and I have absolute faith in what he's doing. Too bad that Robert Elswit isn't shooting The Master, but hopefully it's just a scheduling conflict and he'll be shooting Inherent Vice. A PTA movie without Elswit...

I thought the same thing about Coraline, a movie I ironically saw in 2D. I really felt that I missed something that would have been there in 3D. Kinda like watching a color movie on a black and white TV, or something.

Well, it wasn't part of the movie, originally, so I'm not bothered by it's omission at all. I did like the joke of pressing 'play' and have a completely different movie starting, though. Those three minutes weren't part of the original movie, either, were they?

I feel that these days, the same situation exists. Pile on gimmicks and you get lambasted for it (the Piranha remake), and use it in a subtle way, and people will wonder why it was shot in 3D at all (I believe Hugo gets this, and a few Pixar movies as well). You can't win, apparently.

At least Warner is consistent :D. Disney does a different approach for every catalog title they release, it seems. Pinocchio got the RKO logo (for the first time?), Beauty and the Beast had it's original logo replaced, Lady and the Tramp has a logo that's not even used these days, The Nightmare...

I don't know about Woodstock, but Dr. Strangelove simply was shot with some scenes open matted, and some hard matted in 1.66:1. On the first DVD release, the scene with Major Kong riding the bomb at the end (I'm sure I'm not spoiling anything for anyone here :D) has the background plate with...

Todd Haynes, the director, and the DP weren't trying to copy the 40's look, but the look of the dramas of the 70's. That's why they shot on 16mm film, since most movies of the 70's had that rough, grainy look.

If that's the case, then he needs to alter every 70's haircut, and change every special effect into a CGI version. And what about the effects in Episode I and II that don't hold up? That's the problem with redoing things, you have to keep redoing them, otherwise the redone effects will become...

If pressing "1138" in every menu doesn't make at least something come up, then I'm sure that there aren't any Easter eggs on this set :D.
