Ran across this neat short today. Please don't crucify me if it has already been posted somewhere.

I've only downloaded 1 digitalcopy. It was a musical. Without the chapter stops it's worthless. Any concerts, nusic or musicals need the chapter stops, if not it's basically videotape

re: Star Wars
 

Given that digital media players let you skip to different times at a touch of a finger, it's not that big of a deal.

Honestly, I don't see why it's so hard for people to see where digital copies have a use. Hell, I don't use them myself but I know why they're useful.

re: Star Wars
 

That, and it doesn't have flash...which is just stupid not to have.

re: Star Wars
 

Digital copies are good for when you're at the gym on a treadmill or a bike or something. This leads me to the conclusion that everyone who doesn't like digital copies is a lard ass.

re: Star Wars
 

1,000%.

re: Star Wars
 

Inland Empire? That movie is great! David Lynch is so important!

For some movies, yeah.

re: Star Wars
 

and I heard that Star Wars was coming on Blu-Ray in 2011...

just wondering if the thread was about Digital Copies

re: Star Wars
 

Actually, he's since backed off that stance and has admitted that chapter stops are useful.

My favorite part is that both abbreviations are spelled wrong. Unless of course he means that crazy clown is finally gonna be in HD.

re: Star Wars
 

I just finally got around to pre-ordering my copy.

re: Star Wars
 

I just finally got around to canceling my copy.

re: Star Wars
 

...I STILL have no idea what the two movies in question are!

re: Star Wars
 

I assume TOM = TPM = The Phantom Menace. And IT = OT = Original Trilogy.

re: Star Wars
 

Actually Lynch isn't arguing about picture quality he is talking about the cinematic experience and that movies should be seen in a cinema to take you to the world they create. From an entirely subjective standpoint I went to see Inland Empire more than once at the cinema because it was such a strong cinematic experience and it is extremely hard to replicate that at home.

re: Star Wars
 

I feel that watching at home is like going to a zoo, and watching in a theater is like going on safari. Still, it's a lot more convenient and cost efficient to go to the zoo which is why so few actually go on safari. If Lynch wants to retain an air of exclusivity, he should self-produce and never again allow one of his films to have a home video release. Hell, I'll be impressed if someone could go an entire year between theatrical and home video release dates. But you know what? Home video makes a ton of cash...and if I'm contributing, then it's none of Lynch's business whether I have to pause a movie to run to the bathroom or if I watch on my iPod during some down time on vacation.

re: Star Wars
 

They showed up in my Amazon quick picks the other day and I caved and ordered...

...but have plenty of time to cancel. :lol:

re: Star Wars
 

Release date has been moved up to Friday, September 16.

re: Star Wars
 

Trying to think of something that isn't a threadcrap here...

I just can't get excited about another release of the SE's. I'd settle for SD resolution versions of the original versions on one Bluray at this point.

re: Star Wars
 

It was never announced in the first place. Amazon just picked a placeholder date and everyone ran with it.

As I said before: there are 4 Tuesdays in the month of September. Pick the last one and you have a 25% chance of being right and worse case scenario, you gotta email a bunch of people and tell them they're getting "Star Wars" on Blu-ray 1, 2 or 3 weeks earlier than they thought.

The official site confirms this:

September 16 is the first release date to actually come from LucasFilm.

re: Star Wars
 

Well, technically since a Tuesday release isn't guaranteed (obviously) picking the last Tuesday of September is just as arbitrary as the second Wednesday. So that 25% drops to 3.33%.

Anyone that doesn't know what retailers do without a hard date is just being silly. Or difficult as I am by calling out your defense of your defense of Amazon's placeholder. Which, in and of itself, is silly.

re: Star Wars
 

Name a DVD that wasn't released on a Tuesday.

re: Star Wars
 

One of the Shrek movies was on a Friday, pretty sure.

ETA: looks like the first Shrek movie was released on a Friday.

re: Star Wars
 

Yeah, I remember that too:
http://www.digitalmediafx.com/Shrek/...-released.html

However, the vast majority of videos are released on Tue, and to suggest that a release has an equally good chance of being released on any other day of the week is just absurd.

Let's say 99% of videos are released on Tue. That means that this release had a 24.75% chance of being released on the date Amazon originally listed.

re: Star Wars
 

:lol: I love that I say I'm just being difficult in my post and you boys still take it to be serious.

It's just so funny when people make a perfectly valid and logical deduction about reality then that doesn't come to pass because of some anomaly, then still feel the need to defend themselves.

re: Star Wars
 

I keep expecting them to replace Jabba in all 3 (?) of the movies he's in. He looks different in Menace, New Hope and Jedi, and really, when these come out, if they've completely replaced the one in Jedi with a digital one, it would not surprise me.
