The source was never in HD so I wonder how good it really looks. They can clean up an image as much as they want but if the source was never hi def. The source wasn't digital. Isn't the source 70mm? No clue - but I also have no clue what it means to say a source was not "hi def" when it was analog. I am confident it didn't have pixels, and thus pixel density terms should be meaningless. It might be hard for young guys to believe, people were taking photographs and blowing them up to poster size 50-60 years ago, and projecting movies onto large screen with no pixilation as well. Blu-Ray has yet to even come close to Super Panavision 70. One day, we'll see Lawrence of Arabia and 2001 as intended. They showed Lawrence of Arabia at a cinema here in town last year. It sold out... I was unable to get a seat.

Prototype TV sets have already been produced.

This is something that is often misunderstood, but you will be happy when you learn that most of the old movies were shot with film cameras that had much greater "resolution" than even our 1080P tv sets can display. We are really waiting for even higher definition tv sets (4K) so we can see even more of what the original movie definition. If you have a blu-ray, go rent the wizard of oz or gone with the wind and be prepared to be blown away. Yes I am totally serious. Here is the list of the best looking movies on blu-rays: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/top.php?show=userrating |

Tag for review of Episode VI.
 Does Boba Fett live?It depends on who you ask. He was swallowed by the Sarlacc after Han accidentally activated his jetpack. According to the expanded universe, which is considered canon by some, he managed to "blast" his way out from under the sand. However, the scene was originally written to be his death scene and for the purposes of the film, he's as dead as a doornail or will be after 1000 years of slow digestion. George Lucas actually stated on the audio commentary on the DVD that he regretted Boba Fett's fate, as he learned only after the movie how popular a cult figure the bounty hunter had become in the years between Empire and Jedi. Had Lucas known that when writing Return of the Jedi's screenplay, he would have given Fett a more heroic exit. It is possible that the upcoming blu-ray release will include a new scene of Boba Fett blasting his way out of the Sarlaac pit, as George Lucas has announced that the release will include new footage. |
