Revenge of the Sixth Episode 3: Caution, contains big sp

I honestly dont remeber the original version too much, but the re-release had tons o' computer graffics added to it. Backgrounds, machines, more people, etc. I dont know if it changed the story at all, maybe someone with a better memory can tell us.

I haven't seen the re-released THX-1138. What has he altered in it? Mind you, it's been a while since I've seen it at all, so I might be a little hazy on the changes (unless they're drastic).

Think of it like this, Would Stanley Kubrick go back and colorize Dr.Strangelove? Would he 3-D digitize the bomb bay scene and add extra elements to make it look cooler?

Would Hitchcock tinker with PSYCHO so that Janet Leigh doesn't have to die? Would Sergei Eisenstein digitize a baby jogger onto the Odessa steps scene?

Lucas should have, at the very least, included an original cut. A part of the stark atmosphere of the original was because of the low budget.

Kubrick, Hitchcock and Eisenstein are all dead. So I would have to answer "no" to your questions.

Kubrick's not dead, man. He's with Elvis.

Think of it like this, Was Dr. Strangelove an action picture with tons of special effects?

Star Wars was known for its FX and action sequences, which is why it makes some sense to update it … it would make pretty much no sense to update the FX of a movie that didn't rely on FX in the first place

You think Slim Pickens was really riding on that missile?

I wasn't talkin' 'bout STAR WARS.

Besides being greedy beyond belief, this is my only criticism of his tinkering. The Star Wars DVDs should've had the option to watch the movie as the original cut, the Special Edition and the new edits. Instead, he has to stick to his "original vision" and only include the new one.

By the end of my life (or Lucas's), I'm guessing I'll have 16 different versions of the Star Wars saga.

marketing.

Just saw ROTS…it was okay. What struck me is that Episode II is really given over to the love story between Anakin and Padame (or whatever the f*** her name is), and in this movie, there was no apparent love there at all, except they kept saying they were in love and couldn't live without each other. But they barely touched each other and were so damn stiff….odd, really. (Hmmm, wonder if this is largely a girl's perspective.)

Thing is, I liked the huge battles of some of the other movies – Episode II kicked ass with some fights, even the forest chase in Episode XI – which were missing her completely. Instead we got numerous one-on-one confrontations.

And it's true – R2D2 has the most personality in the movie! The evil Chancellor was just a little too over the top with his "YAAA HAA HAA" evil laughing and sneers…

where the hell did you see episode XI!!!!omg!

haha…i have seen it three times and i enjoyed it. i hate anikin until the end…stop trying to find problems with the story and enjoy it. yeah its not the best but it is better than most movies out in theaters today. the action is awesome…thats all that matters…

lucas can't direct, we all know that but i'm happier that the movie came out then if it hadn't. lucas is a money whore so we will probably see multiple versions of anything he does. he also likes to make revisions like may writers.

padme wasn't hot i nthis movie!!!and c3P0 and r2 had more love…

Agree fully about the lack of romance (and I am a guy). I mean they barely kiss, hug, and just seem so blah.

And no way she was preggers with twins that big. I would assume she would look more like a beached whale. And giving birth, WTF? Legs together AND in pain. If they are so advanced they can get the kids out with her legs together, why couldn't they treat the pain of childbirth?

And Anikin's conversion to the darkside just doesn't work. Sure he might do some things to save his supposed love, but snuffing out unarmed children doesn't seem to fit. That is quite a change in such a short time.
