hhhat posted:Until now I had no loving clue Brad Bird directed that. I've ignored the mission impossible movies, should I watch this one? They're all worth watching to various degrees. The first film is by DePalma, and it has his style all over it, but it got cut up a bit for running time so it's a little confusing on first watch. The second is a case study in what happens when you let John Woo run loose without a net (he turned in a cut that was more than three hours long; Paramount removed him from the editing room and brought in Stuart Baird to do an emergency re-edit to bring it to a more manageable length, which results in large chunks of the movie making no sense at all -- but it's beautifully shot. The third is Abrams' first time out as a film director, but it turns a lot of "action movie" clichés on its head, which is fun. Ghost Protocol is just absolutely fantastic.

Kinda disappointed Brad Bird isn't in on the new star wars stuff. At least give him the Han Solo one off.

Neowyrm posted:I am so very glad that the original trilogy was all directed by George Lucas. I mean the prequel trilogy obviously sucked because they switched directors all the time. I feel that this point has been sorely overlooked in the discussion of changing directors for the new trilogy. If they start changing directors during production of individual movies I shall be worried, different directors for different movies leaves me excited as long as the directors are interesting.

So Ghost Protocol was great, thanks for the recommendation. I'll check out the others at some point... it was going to expire from Netflix in a few days. Very Brad Bird, loved the Indian Pepe Le Pew - couldn't help but giggle.

So, I was thinking and it's been a while since I've seen the original trilogy. Time to ask the age-old question: is there a DVD set (or each movie individually if I have to) that just has the basic movies without all of the extra CGI poo poo they added in? I googled it of course but I'm getting a lot of conflicting info.

In 2006 there was a limited release of the OT with the unaltered versions on bonus discs- BUT they were non-anamorphic transfers of the Laserdisc versions, I.e. Kinda crappy looking. Fans were nonplussed and the discs sold badly, but they've eventually become scarce and can be a little pricey.

I googled it of course but I'm getting a lot of conflicting info. There are DVDs of the unaltered films. However, they're non-anamorphic transfers from the 1993 laserdiscs, with no restoration work done -- so color timing is off and they're on the ugly side. This set contains the laserdisc rips as well as the Special Editions.

Even a broken ankle takes 6-12 weeks to heal, and you heal by not putting weight on it and keeping it elevated; hence the initial "he'll be out for 8 weeks" announcement and hence why he's in a wheelchair. Let's not be crazy.

I am interpreting it as some people in this thread WANT the new movies to fail, instead of, yaknow, letting them come out and we can judge as received.

Man, how important is Han Solo in this script? I was kinda hoping the emphasis would not be on the old gang, but if they have to delay the entire movie because of his injury rather than write around him...

He's apparently one of the lead protagonists (I've always figured Han will bite it at the end of Episode VII to set up the next two movies).

Considering Ford wanted Han to die in TESB, I wouldn't be surprised if the only reason (other than a paycheck) that he decided to do this movie was because they would finally kill him.

Yea I'd bet a shitload of money that Ford wouldn't have agreed to be in this unless Han would be killed off.

While originally the big three were going to be in minor/advisory/passing the torch type background roles supposedly the first thing Abrams did when he came on board was change up the story so that they are the main dudes. :/
