agogfan: Why oh why did they put Jabba in "A New Hope"? Han looks like he's standing on Jabba's tail, and he's clearly talking to a normal sized character - so the whole scene looks wrong and was best left on the cutting room floor.

agogfan: If these films get released on GOG, they'd HAVE to be the original, original trilogy! ;)

Personally, I'm not that fussed about the subsequent modifications made, except for two things:

Why oh why did they put Jabba in "A New Hope"? Han looks like he's standing on Jabba's tail, and he's clearly talking to a normal sized character - so the whole scene looks wrong and was best left on the cutting room floor.

And why oh why when they had all that incredible technology at hand to "improve" the originals, why couldn't they have fixed the only scene that ever bothered me - and that was that terribly artifical looking Rancor in "Return of the Jedi"?

JMich: From what I recall, Lucas wanted that scene in the original, but they didn't have the technology to add Jabba in the scene, thus it was cut. The fact that they did shoot it does give this theory credibility, even if they weren't sure how Jabba would look at that point.

Elmofongo: To me the only great additions of the special editions was the use of CG Spaceships. The Deathstar Battle in the original looked stiff and undynamic:

snowkatt: hey stop motion is always awesome
just watch the nightmare before christmas and the fantastic mr fox

agogfan: Well OK, but they better have lens flare and motion blur effects. I can't watch a film without those now :P

Is it just me or did all the Transfomer movies just seem like a blur of mayhem? I must be getting old so maybe my eyes don't work as fast as they used to?

snowkatt: only the fourth movie is decent
the first is passable by being the first 2 and 3 are garbage

agogfan: Say Whaaaaaaat?

You mean after I suffered through the first one which was OK, then watched the 2nd one and regretted it, and then thought it could only get better and watched the 3rd one... and then said "That's It. I'm Done".... that I just had to try one more to get to a good version?

Man, I gave up too easily!

snowkatt: well to say its good is stretching it
4 is not a good movie but compared to the first 3 its a fucking masterpiece

the camera is more stable
the human cast is overhauled and more likable then the ones from the first 3
the humans are now slightly annoying instead of completley fucking frustrating

the oh so funny "humor"has been toned down

its kinda soft reboot
and still assnumbingly long but comapred to 1 2 and 3 much better

still the only real transformers movie is the animated one from 1986
it still beat all 4 of them with its servo's tied and its optics closed

agogfan: Well I'm not against animated stuff. I'm one of those who thinks Robotech is still cool today.

But you've gotten me interested in the 4th Transformers movie now, so I'll check it out.

snowkatt: its not apocalypse now or blade runner
