    Lost In Space: The Complete Adventures (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Been delving into season two, and hit another glitch. The disc froze up for a couple seconds in the middle of The Toymaker, and my player made so many weird noises in protest I thought it was about to break down! The set being so huge, even if I can still exchange it, I'd have to rewatch...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    The Special Editions were released a couple weeks apart from each other, so that could work.

    Lost In Space: The Complete Adventures (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Another weird video glitch. The shot of the two moons in the cliffhanger at the end of His Majesty Smith has weird blocky static going on the exact duration of the shot. It even covers the pillarbox bars. The same shot in the reprise opening of the next episode is fine. Unlike the previous...

    It can always pass them when they reissue it six months before Episode VIII comes out. ;)

    Lost In Space: The Complete Adventures (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Has anybody noticed some weird video artifacts going on towards the end of The Keeper Part 2? Around 44 minutes or so, when the Robinsons discover Smith is trapped in a cage again. On the left side of the screen, lasts well into the teaser for the next episode. Like vertical lines not in sync...

    *** Official Star Wars Ep. VII: The Force Awakens Review Thread

    Saw it twice at the IMAX dome in San Jose, and wish I could go back and do it again. It felt like I was in the movie. More immersive than any 3D presentation I've seen lately. All the stress of opening weekend and spoiler avoidance behind me, I just kicked back and had a good time. Star Wars...

    American Horror Story: Hotel

    Was it just me, or were things cut for time in the finale? I still have no idea what happened to the vampire baby, or how the cops finally caught on to the true identity of the Deadly Sins killer. A few tweaks and they'd have one heck of a twisted sitcom with this. ;)

    Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

    There was a Jawa in Return Of The Jedi fanning Jabba with what looked like a palm frond.

    Could the original, unaltered STAR WARS be on its way to Blu-ray?

    You mean this site? http://savestarwars.info/ It hasn't been updated since 2010. There has been so much disinformation since 1997, you can't blame anyone if they got some facts wrong. Maybe they put too much trust in their confidential sources, but the site owner is not some delusional fanboy.

    Could the original, unaltered STAR WARS be on its way to Blu-ray?

    If you can call those half assed non-anamorphic discs using 1993 video masters a release. ;) IIRC, even Robert Harris has politely pointed out it wouldn't cost very much to restore the OOT. Lucas never took him up on his offer to restore the films.

    He also made the infamous nine episodes remark in interviews that were part of the original making of ESB paperback published in 1980. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Galaxy:_A_Journal_of_the_Making_of_The_Empire_Strikes_Back

    Could the original, unaltered STAR WARS be on its way to Blu-ray?

    I must confess I just dug out my old copy of the book just to check that page. (It's there.) The book came out again in a slightly revised edition in 1997, with a new section on the Special Edition, so I wouldn't have put it past George to change the older parts of the book. ;)

    Could the original, unaltered STAR WARS be on its way to Blu-ray?

    The story goes Lucas badly wanted to make a Flash Gordon movie, but couldn't get the rights. So he made up his own space opera. He even began THX 1138 with a Buck Rogers clip. When tv stations dusted off the Buster Crabbe serials in Star Wars' wake, I totally got where Lucas drew inspiration...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I managed to see it late Thursday against all odds, at a slightly out of the way theater. The same one I saw Phantom Menace at. The Force was eventually with me as I overcame stomach problems, a pesky migraine, and a flaky non Fandango ticketing site that seemed like it was from ten years ago...

    In case anybody hasn't gotten this yet, Barnes and Noble is having a 40% off sale on all Blu Rays except Marvel and Disney stuff. With my B&N membership, I got LIS for around 86 bucks! Maybe not the best deal out there, but I'm pretty happy. :)

    American Horror Story: Hotel

    Sticking with it to the bitter end. Liz is turning into my favorite character on the show. Is it just me, or was Lady Gaga dressed like Kim Novak's character in Vertigo in tonight's episode? And wow, what a cliffhanger ending! Going to be a long three weeks.

    Could the original, unaltered STAR WARS be on its way to Blu-ray?

    A lot of people are working in the industry today because they were inspired by that little 1977 film. It was a bright spot for me during a turbulent childhood. My troubles did not dare follow me into the theater. It made me want to know how movies are made, and John Williams' score instilled a...

    Could the original, unaltered STAR WARS be on its way to Blu-ray?

    The only thing missing from the Blu Ray version are the critters on Dagobah and Hoth dancing around. I probably shouldn't give George any ideas though. ;) I believe the audio addition on the Blu Ray to the pivotal scene of Vader turning away from the dark side finally broke the camel's back...

    A colleague who is more well versed in John Wayne films than I am, insists there are movies where The Duke shoots first. ;)

    Star Trek Beyond (2016)

    I just now realized Kirk is a better driver in this timeline. If they ever get to that 1920's gangster planet from A Piece Of The Action, Spock has nothing to fear. ;)

    Star Trek Beyond (2016)

    After decades of Star Trek characters that are into classical music to the exclusion of all else, I find Kirk's love of the Beastie Boys a breath of fresh air. :)

    *** Official STAR WARS Saga (episodes I to VI) Discussion Thread: Part 4

    The problems they had with the Wampa costume during the original shoot unintentionally helped the film, as the less we saw of it, the more scary it was. The loss of the Wampas attacking the rebel base subplot denied us a great moment for Threepio though, when he tricks some snowtroopers into...

    Star Wars Ep. VII Megathread: The Force Awakens

    It's probably a good a time to remind people not pull a Homer Simpson when leaving the theater. ;) I'm bailing on this thread until I finally see the movie. See you on the other side!
