Started watching Spy the other day, baed on its review ratings. Gave up after about 20 minutes of puerile rubbish

Judging by the cinema audience reaction, I wasn't alone in hating AI. Ugh. Also:
- any Star Wars film bar the original three. Although the middle 3 were obviously worst, the recent ones (be honest) are derivative rubbish, and political lectures to boot.

Indeed. Last night I watched the original Star Wars on ITV2. But of course it was a Lucas-molested version.
The pure original version is out there. Well, Harmy's recreation of it, anyway...Comment

Shame Jabba was a bloke originally and the CGI Jabba in ANH now looks dated and at a different stage in time to the original. The biggest problem has been GL's incessant desire to add levity and "kidify" the movies. Ewoks overused, JarJar existing, adding the comedy moments into the Mos Eisley landspeeder scene, etc. Why borrow from Kurosawa and others then add slapstick? Meh.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Freddy Got Fingered, the only movie I ever walked out on due to boredom and it being so bad. Tom Green's career tanked as he was unfunny and untalented.Comment

You had the original? With Jabba as a bloke ? The one I saw in Newcastle in '77 ? Even with adverts that is a mighty heirloom.Comment

On a plus note, I've started collecting the vintage figures again. Some of the prices are reasonable, others are eye-watering.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

97% of project 4K77 is from a single, original 1977 35mm Technicolor release print so if it goes from blurry to sharp, grainy to not grainy, bright to dark, that's because it also did that in 1977… about 1200 frames came from another 4K scan of a different 1977 Technicolor print. About 2000 frames came from a red faded, Eastman print of Star Wars. Roughly 2000 frames came from the same LPP print as The Silver Screen Edition (rescanned at 4K), another 1000 frames or so came from 4K scans of two different 1997 35mm prints of the Star Wars Special Edition. Finally, about 400 frames that couldn't be sourced from anywhere else at the time they were needed, were upscaled from the official bluray.Comment
