John Williams's last masterpiece (for now): Dial of Destiny in 2023.

Wookie schnitzel?

Did you just mix up Chewy with Crumbs?

We'll just have to make do with this one:

So now instead of scrubbing detail they're doing something even worse, replacing detail with the nightmare fuel hallucinations of a very stupid machine. Fantastic.

Could use a "puke" emoji reaction right about now.

Does it say anything about the unreleased source cues?
I find it tiring to listen to interviews without reading subtitles, that's why I don't listen generally to podcasts..

Did you not get a chance to listen to The Legacy of JW podcast on this? Mike does touch upon it and pretty much said it was becaues of the 50th anniversary he was able to submit it and got the okay to do so.

Yeah I posted about Douglass Fake then saw the thread was already made, I suppose I could've edited and linked the thread, but didn't think to do so.

Jaws 3 and possibly The Revenge had the Cameron AI treatment done according to this reddit post, someone posted on Reddit earlier. These are the only images they posted but geez.

I think you nailed it.  Because of the 3D cameras, it always looked atrocious, so in order to give it a perceived value and put a 4K logo on it, they felt they needed to go hard to brighten and sharpen it.  It’s just that AI is the new DNR.   I wonder what percentage of 4K buyers are as informed regarding this sort of thing.  I’d wager at least half of the consumers in the market will be fine with it.   I could be wrong, though.

Now its weird that 2 had fairly good reviews for the 4K so I don't know why they'd immediately decide AI was the way to go, but I'm wondering if this could be a situation unique to 3 since the fuzzy 3D look is all over the 2D version of the movie and they attempted to clean it up, but who knows.

Sorry you guys couldn't see me too well but they told me to turn off the lights.

I still want to see it in motion.  The AI stuff is troubling, but it’ll get better.  Just a shame it’s not there yet when this is probably the last stop for these movies on physical media. 
 
In this case I will stick with the 3D Blu Ray. 
 
I still resent the manufacturers for eliminating 3D to force 4K to the market. 

JWFan will go down in history

Very well said.
 
On the other hand, if we have to pick one of this poll's options, I definitely say '74-'98. Nothing wrong with his exceptional output in other periods, but...come on. 3 Star Warses, 3 Indys, 2 Jurassics, ET, Jaws, CE3K, Hook—that resume alone would have cemented his place among the finest film composers of all time.

And Episode II (?) almost wasn't!

Then it would be a...
 
..wait for it...
