THX-1138: The (Digitally Enhanced) Director's Cut
StefanJ writes "This is either a marvelous Photoshop hoax or something really . . . cool? Sacreligious? Unnecessary? Reportedly, George Lucas has given his first commercially released movie, THX1138, a digital workover, enhancing backgrounds and altering scenes for more eye-appeal. Here are some comparisons of original and altered scenes. For those who haven't seen the film: Without giving too much away, it's about a working stiff living in a repressive underground bomb-shelter society. Emotion-suppressing drugs are mandatory; people shuffle from work to home, pausing to buy consumer goods along the way. (The goods aren't used for anything; you just feed them into a disposal unit after you get home. Making them keeps people busy . . .) If the drugs don't work, you can vent your spleen in a confession booth manned by a really bad A.I. It's really bleak, and sometimes ugly, but worth seeing. I hope the enhancements don't add too much color: The drab, sterile, white-on-white environment of the underground city is an important mood-setter. Consume more; be happy!"
Yeah, but Puffy ruins other peoples stuff
Puffy: I want to ruin your song.
Sting: Alright, but you have to ruin another one of my songs, too.
Puffy: Done.
I think Lucas is more like Dave Matthews, realeasing the same thing over and over.
It must be Thursday. I could never get the hang of Thursdays.
Why did this get modded down? That South Park episode directly dealt with Lucas and Spielberg redoing their classic movies.
Thanks,

I am a believer of momentum and curves.
Sounds like Japan, today, more than anything else.
it's in my head
