JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Don't know if any of you got to see it last night, but it was quite funny.I have only in the last 6 months or so become a fan of this very unPC show. That is what caught my interest is the un PC nature of it.Well last night was the episode from last spring where after seeing the special edition of E.T. the kids decide to form a club to stop directors from ruining their films, by special editions.The timing of this episode coinciding with the debate over the name change on the DVD of Raiders is quite nice.In the episode Cartman, and gang, attempt to steal the original print of Raiders to preserve it so that it could not be altered. Amazingly Lucas was not the main villian, Spielberg was. The ending of the episode is shot for shot the ending of the film.In the end Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg all die exactly the same deaths as the three in Raiders. Coppola's head is sucked in, Lucas's face melts, and Spielberg's head explodes.It also pointed out that Lucas led the crusade to stop colorization, but now he changes his films at a whim.Good stuff.

I would go something like this....Well if this is not opposite day then it will not have an effect on the filmmakers you just didn't say that it would not.

Lurker 5 Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 The latest rumor I've heard is that Lucas is now unsatisfied with the updated effects in the SE's and would like to re-do them again.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 That means soon there will be people starting up internet polls and petitions to get Lucas to preserve the integrity of the 1997 SE's. Stefancos- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin 2 Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Well Lucas wants all the films at the same quality level so he will just downgrade the originals until he thinks they are as good as the prequels.Lucas you genius!!

Morn 8 Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 The latest rumor I've heard is that Lucas is now unsatisfied with the updated effects in the SE's and would like to re-do them again.NeilThis is an opportunity to get the SE's fixed. The CGI in the SE's needs to be redone.... and the movies needed to be changed a little to restore them to the level of quality that the original versions had. Perhaps he could get the SE's right this time. Too bad he's only likely to make them worse. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCFKevin 0 Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Did they show anything extra when Raiders was on NBC? I know sometimes they have little DVD-documentary-like stuff after commercials breaks, they did with Caddyshack one time or some movie like that.
