Dagnabit!!!!! those pesky post boxes!

Paddy.

Got it from HMV during my lunch hour.

Went for HMV as they are doing a limited edition gold box as opposed to the normal silver box.

(I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad I am not sad - if I repeat it enough times will it become true? )

they've "enhanced" them yet again - the new dvd editions contain more tweaks to the 1997 remastered version.


looks like most are fairly subtle but look at this:



OMFG! that's awful

Spielberg and Lucas should not be allowed near their past masters.

Is that actually true though? or is it just a bad Photoshop jobby?

I like what you called the jpg BTW

Found out why mine hadn't turned up. It helps if you complete the order rather than just leaving stuff in the "shopping basket" on amazon. EBG moment!

what?!? fucking killed cinema more like!

the seventies were a golden age in hollywood. films like taxi driver, chinatown, midnight cowboy, apocalypse now, network and the deer hunter were produced by mainstream studios for a mainstream audience. complex, adult films full of moral ambiguities and subtle characterisation.

then came star wars. two-dimensional characters, one-dimensional plot. a simplistic, child-like vision of good versus evil, a romantic sub-plot that would have been rejected by a fifties b-movie producer as too trite and a villain so villainous that he wouldn't have looked out of place twirling his moustache in a 1920s silent western. admit it, you're imagining carrie fisher tied to the railway tracks already...

but somehow this half-baked melange of old saturday morning serials and californian pseudo-spiritual hippy nonsense became a huge hit and, in the process, changed the film-making landscape. and what were the eightiess equivalents to those great films of the seventies? gremlins, the goonies, ghostbusters, beverly hills cop and rambo. well excuse me if i'm not quick to thank george lucas for infantilising mainstream cinema.

i could go on, i've not even mentioned the explosion in merchandise heralded by those oh-so-collectable figures which started us on the path to the hollywood blockbuster as ninety-minute toy advert, but i've long known that this i'm fighting a losing battle. i console myself by recalling the small boy in the crowd shouting out what everyone else knew to be true but forced themselves not to see. for star wars, and the mythology surrounding it, truly is the emperor's new clothes for the twenty-first century.
