Raiders of the Lost Ark as a Popeye comic

😂

The grain be gone, the silly Jedi running effects now look much better, (motion blur and what looked like a lower down running position taking wider strides) the new Yoda, minor effects and colour palette changes, sharper, more weathered looking CGI in spots...

....even Jar Jar looked great.
(Still hate his antics though)

I jusr got it today... It's still in plastic, I may try a peak tonight. OT first of course.

Hahahah Im watching in episodic order.

(Started quintessentially by checking out the opening of ANH first though....)

Very good. It looked fine. I still think the saturated look doesn't mesh well with the skin tones. But nice to see the blu ray revealing some unpolished elements of filmmaking: the sometimes obvious smearing of vaseline on the droids to prevent refelctions from the camera and light, the grain in the looking-at-the-sunset scene due to use of faster film... I kinda like that. And I loved seeing the deleted scenes from the OT, knowing them from the books, comic books and a few sparse photo's.

The opening fanfare sounded quite different... very loud drums... Or was that just me?

It could have been mixed differently.....did you listen with surround? And did you mean the fox fanfare of the score of the movie?

No the SW theme over the opening scroll.. just watched it on the set. Maybe next time I turn on the surround speakers

It has a wicked mix on surround...think you'll like it.

Okay... first I'll wtach ESB next, my fav... so maybe I'll enjoy it with a good mix.

Im completing my run with that and ROTJ tonight also.

Two in a row eh? Wow...

I usually do that, as minimum...usually prefering to watch PT then the OT another day.

Ive marathoned the entire saga a couple of times too.

My favorite variant was:

Attack of the Clones
Original Clone Wars discs 1 and 2
Revenge of the Sith
A New Hope
Empire
Jedi

True: This misses out the holiday special, but I can live with that.

Really? I never did it in a straight sitter. But I have kids, we did it in a week though: one every night. That was fun.

Ah. Well thats undertstandable.
Hard to keep focus and attention for that kinda sitting.

And a lot of work as well... I usually do half a film every night... Got used to watching movies in bits.

Don't that kill the flow and pathos off for you though?

Not anymore... I got used to it.

When I go to the cinema I ask them to pause after 30 minutes, wait for half an hour and then continue. But for some reason they only laugh at me...
