Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Ohhh, the original versions of the Star Wars trilogy are due to come out on DVD at midnight on September 11th (into 12th), and I was planning on having a bonfire to burn the hated "uber-special edition" DVDs that came out a couple years ago. Because of the date, I intend to have a replica of the WTC as the centerpiece of the bonfire. Tasteless, I know ... but how can I resist when I already have a bonfire scheduled for that date??

Bad news, iSm. The new Star Wars DVDs being released are the special editions that we got last year. The original versions are going to be "extras" on each DVD - presented in a crappy, unremastered format (i.e. letterbox as opposed to anamorphic widescreen). If you want the correct original trilogy in a nice anamorphic widescreen, you still have to rely on fanboy DVDRs (I take it you know someone who might have a set they'd be willing to send you - just drop them a PM).
