![]() Old. I feel like a great movie could have been made from the story... This just wasn't it.

![]() Ha, well maybe I just did not want to sound that way. Also, as a lifelong Star Wars fan those special editions are a real sore spot for me. Just don't want to even go down that road because I will end up sounding like an elitist prick no matter how I say it. |

Thankfully I do still have them in several different copies, as well as the despecialized Blu-Ray. Just would like to see an official Blu-Ray release. |

From what I understood last time I read about it, was that 20th Century Fox retained the rights to distribute sales of at least the first Star Wars movie A New Hope in its original form FOREVER. Even when Fox's distribution rights reverted to Disney in May 2020, they still would retain rights to that first movie because of how the original agreement with Lucas was made back in the 70's. So that makes releasing a trilogy set a problem for Disney. They would still have to buy the rights for that. As far as I know that issue is the hold up on any movement of releasing the original versions again. I know there were also claims of the original negatives being in a poor and unrecoverable state but I believe that's been debunked. Quote:

![]() Hmm, actually I am not sure if Disney's acquisition of Fox media also includes the rights 20th Century Fox retained of that first Star Wars movie. I haven't been keeping up with this so I will have to read up. [EDIT] OK yes, my knowledge was way out of date. Disney owns the original film distribution rights, acquired from 20th Century Fox back in 2017. ![]() |

![]() There was a guy who created a really clean 4k restoration by scanning several different film reels and super-imposing them over each other. Really amazing results. Start at 7:00 to see how he made it.

![]() Ghostbusters Afterlife. 7.5/10. Good film overall. Surprisingly great characters, especially the kids. Really great tribute to Harold Ramis (wow that CGI was impressive). The farm town setting works better than I expected. Story is a bit of a slow burn though, and there's not very many ghosts in it. Most of the ghosts are just rehashes of Zuul and Gozer from the original. Instead of Slimer, they have this caterpillar ghost that eats metal... he's really the only ghost shown for the first 3/4 of the movie. There's WAAAAY fewer ghosts than the previous films had. Also no giant monster at the end. My kids especially liked the grocery store scene with all of the tiny marshmallow men. They insisted that we watch that part twice. Not sure whether they intend to make this the start of a new series, or if it's a one-off. I'd be happy to watch a sequel to this. |

![]() The Lost City. 4/10. Meh. Wife wanted to see it because she likes rom-coms. I think Sandra Bullock plays the exact same character in every movie. |

![]() Watched an hour long online documentary. WHERE DREAMS GO TO DIE - Gary Robbins and The Barkley Marathons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDZdsqbcGTU Love everything about this Ultra Marathon. Will be a shame when it ends, so much tradition. Guy who runs it is an absolute character. The OG documentary on it is here. Free with ads on youtube. If you are curious, watch the documentary below as it's more focused on the race and not a particular racer like the first one I linked. The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG97F6b_6o4

![]() Uncharted. 6.8/10. Not great, but also not as bad as I had been led to believe. There's alot of fun in this movie, but also lots of missed-opportunities. Often the story beats are stupid, unnecessary, or unbelievable. Sometimes there's chemistry between the characters, and sometimes there's not. Tom Holland does a reasonable job of playing Tom Holland. Yeah, its basically spiderman instead of nathan drake... yeah the film is significantly mis-cast. Even still, I think they could have made the casting work better with a couple more script iterations. Definitely felt like the script was rushed. Honestly I don't think they should do a sequel unless they can bump up the quality a good bit. |
