Yes, the one that made the most money that everybody hates becuase of one bad actor (jake) and one bad character. (jar jar)

People need to chill and enjoy the movies.

ESB didnt make that much money and is considerd the best in the saga

Hahaha. If you read my post again you see some humor in it. Now that I look back I think I may have watched it to death. But it is still very watchable today, just has the usual tape aging properties.

Plus many people wanted to borrow it becuase of how great of a movie it is.

Sure.

Well, I have both TPM and AOTC on VHS still... I don't think I ever watched them though. The VHS TPM is in fact the theatrical one, the DVD version is different. So in that respect it's worth owning. I have the AOTC tape, just because it's the last SW movie ever to be released on VHS.

Yeah I remember watching the TPM DVD once at my cousins house and seeing a lot of things I never saw before on the VHS.

I believe the VHS of Revenge of the Sith was released in the UK. Maybe VHS players stayed around longer there than in the US.

He is right ROTS was also available on VHS. The OT has been played on VHS for more then 30 years even TPM cant beat it

It wasn't released in the USA... I think only in commonwealth countries it was released on VHS. I never saw it in my country at least.

I know it wasn't released in the US as VHS, but it was in the UK for some reason.

Hahaha. I saw a tomb stone with VHS written on it. It was one stone down from the HD DVD grave.

Yes, but it was only a spot with a stone. Its not underground yet.

It pre-ordered a grave becuase it knows it is getting old. But still has some years to go.

Years? I doubt that. I see the Blu-Ray prices dropping, I'll be transferring soon.

I did get a chance to see the result of DVD on a Blu-Ray player and HD LCD screen... wasn't too bad. It holds up pretty good. Regular tv is utter crap though. So you sit at a distance.... which makes a large screen important, otherwise it's too small...Hmm... something fishy about that...

I am sure Blu-Ray and DVD will have a similar instance where both will be equally common as the DVD slowly recedes into the ground. Same thing sort of happened with VHS and DVD, it doesn't happen in months.

My friend owns over 500 DVDs he says he likes blu ray but for some reason would think it is stupid to buy any....I think it is because he bought so many FN dvds!! lol

I never buy much media like that becuase it will always be replaced with something better eventually.

I have over 600 DVD's myself. And as Is aid: they hold up pretty well in the a good Blu Ray player/HD TV combo. So they're fine. They look better than average tv... so it's still way better than we ever had.

I find some HD a tad edgy myself. I saw bits of Pirates of the Caribean 3... and it's amazing what you see.... Too much even. Supposedly clean shave people have how an ugly stubble. HD shows everything, even stuff we're not supposed to see. So I'm still not too sure how sharp we should go.

That is a good point. A lot of female actresses say they don't like it becuase it shows their facial 'imperfections' and such. I suppose it does add more realism to the viewing experience in that respect.

Yeah, but realism is overrated. If it's realism you want, why go see a movie. I consider it a form of escapism.
Plus, you get to see things that detract the realism: you actually see make-up residue stuck in stubble or hairlines, wigs that are not perfect... it's harder and more expensive to make fake look realistic.

I just watched an HD version of the Terminator show. I actually like the sharper look. Stubble is natural, and isn't at all bad in my opinion. I also view TV as a way to escape, but the more natural looks of the actors doesn't taint that for me. I would think the make up artists should improve or step it up to accommodate the higher resolutions if that is a problem. I think high res would be worth the extra money and effort in improving the actor's looks.
