THX-1138 Finally Coming to DVD

Posted by michael on from the han-shoots-first dept.

OMM0000 writes "George Lucas' first film, THX 1138 is finally coming to DVD. They've also launched a new site, as USA Today reports. As webmaster of a certain THX-1138 fan site (which will remain nameless to avoid slashdotting), this is excellent news. For all of you lamenting the Star Wars prequels, be sure to see where Lucas' roots in filmmaking are."

    Calm down everyone, it's his director's cut, not the original. Another classic ruined...

    There's still no DVD version in sight of one of the greatest movies ever made. Yep, I'm talking about Yellowbeard. Why? Why???? *shakes fist*

  6. Re:THX 1138 is no Star Wars by poot_rootbeer · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's set in a dystopian future where everything is run by machines, and there is very little interpersonal dialogue or human interaction.

    So it's kind of like the Star Wars prequel trilogy, excape that it takes place in the future rather than long ago?

    Not knowing what THX-1138 was, first glance of the article title resulted in the reply: "Sonofa! I have to upgrade my home theater for *another* audio format!?"

    I don't even have the old Star Warts let alone the new one.

    I'm sure that there's some kind of cream you can get from your doctor for that.

    No no, that's a peccadillo. Allegories are what causes you to sneeze and get all itchy.
