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."

    how arrogant to assume that i would visit your website.

  2. Movie perhaps good, Web site definately sucks by SteamedPenguin · · Score: 0, Troll

    If the idiot who designed the piece of crap Web site for the movie is reading this consider yourself responsible for losing a customer. I don't have Flash running, and without Flash running there is no way to get any information on the movie, and you don't even have a link to complain about it. Adding insult to injury, the 'no Flash' page is just a page containing an image. No freestanding text.

    In the novelisation of Star Wars, the hangar bay chief on the Death Star says "THX 1138, why aren't you at your post?"

    It's sad that as a 10-year-old proto-geek I had read enough background material on Lucas, and seen the movie enough times, to realize (a) this is not the movie dialog, and (b) where the new number came from.

    There is a web page devoted to the stormtrooper ambushed on the Millenium Falcon.
