90s TV | Siskel & Ebert | The Future of Movies | Part 3 | Scorsese | Lucas | Spielberg | 1990

[@Bonkatsu12]

Fascinating. Spielberg jokes that one day movie makers would be inserting the heads of new actors onto old actors to try and stay fresh. 14 years later Lucas commits this abominable act in the Return of the Jedi special edition...

I remember seeing stuff like this about high definition TV back in the early '90s. That was an interesting time seeing these new technologies starting to come about.

Rock band Genesis became the first band in music history to film a concert in HD. That was in July 1987 (at Wembley Stadium)

[@lamecasuelas2]

Are they clairvoyants? Jeez. How'd they know about high def tv and whatnot 20 years before they were in people's homes?

[@VanishedPNW]

Scorsese is pretty....speedy...lol

[@karlkarlos3545]

And who is preserving the original Star Wars from Lucas?

[@Clay3613]

Library Of Congress has original prints of New Hope and Empire.

@@Clay3613 Rumor is that the OG trilogy will be on Disney+ in their original forms.

You can't make classics into a great color picture. Restoring a classic film needs to be so they look like the were meant to be scene. Wizard of Oz is the best example. That movie in blue ray looks terrible because it wasn't intended to be scene in perfect quality. You can't enjoy the story because it looks so fake, you need to restore the movie, but keep it in the original film look.

These guys are all SO pretentious my goodness. Lol
