Revenge of the Sith

[EnderAndrew]

Episode III is now 11th all time worldwide, and 7th all time domestically.

 

Not too shabby.

When's it coming to DVD?

Well, somebody did say something about a crisis in the movie industry... :thumbsup:"

 

Looking at their world ranking list http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/ is really depressing (although I'm glad to see Finding Nemo there).

 

It makes it look like an impossible task to create quality and be economically successful at the same time

Any idea if they are going to bring out a box set with EP's 1,2,3?

I heard there will be a box set just like the original trilogy, but haven't seen a preorder for it, or any details.

[alanschu]

Meh, I consider movies like Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, Terminator 2 and whatnot to be movies that have quality and are successful.

 

 

What movies would be considered "quality?"

[EnderAndrew]

It shocks me that Shrek 2 is number 6 of all time. It was good, but I don't know it was that good.

 

I also really liked Spiderman 2, the LoTR trilogy, etc.

Comes with a Demo of Battlefront 2 also. "

I heard they were going to do a big set of all six movies. If this is wrong, tell me so I can just go buy the original trilogy already.

[EnderAndrew]

I don't know that the six-movie version will be any different from the two three-movie box sets.

 

No doubt the movies will be rereleased on some high-def DVD format like Blue-Ray eventually, but I love the Original Trilogy boxed set. The Empire of Dreams documentary is great, and the movies look and sound incredible.

 

There are some new tweaks, both good and bad.

Yeah, my dad bought the set so I saw the documentary there. I had no idea Lucas had actually contributed that much to modern filmmaking. Too bad he jumped the shark in the early 80s.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, he was a pioneer whose contributions can not be overlooked. He was always bad with dialogue. He allowed others to step in and write scripts (and direct) on Empire and Jedi. Too bad he didn't do the same with the prequels or why might have gotten better films.

 

The Young Indy films were supposedly quite good though I didn't see them.

I think Lucas is one of those people who is great at coming up with ideas, but has no idea how to flesh them out or execute them properly. As part of a team he would be unstoppable, unfortunately he wants to do everything himself, and thats his weakness.

[EnderAndrew]

I agree. It is what some people call auteur filmmaking.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think that would be pretty cool IMO, since i dont actually own any of them at the moment, but im sure all six movies would be hella-expensive

[Dark Moth]

'Titanic' being at the top of the list is proof that popularity doesn't always denote quality. It was one of the most over-rated movies ever made, IMO.

[Guest Fishboot]

You guys should look at an inflation adjusted all-time box office chart. Here's a hint: Gone with the Wind is at #71 on this non-adjusted chart, with 400 million dollars worldwide... in 1939 dollars.

That's the pattern.

 

Release the films individually. Then as a box set. Then as a new format box set, re-mastered and some "Director's Cut" special edition.

 

Then release the entire sextology in the new format, re-remastered with holographic memory core and virtual girls that pop out of the tv and give you a lap dance ...

 

The point is that the product is turned into a series of revenue-generating events, that can be hyped individually, and the later products are better (if you like GL control-freak-tweakery) than the earlier.

[Lucius]

How about a Special Edition Directors Cut Remastered with Alien Hoes and Hidden Features Box Set? - "SEDCRAHHFBS"? Would Lucas dare it?

For some reason i expect you'll be able to find that somewhere on the net " .

 

P.S. The abbreviated name sounds like some kind of medical condition

Titantic was a great movie. It had greta acting, great writing, greta atmosphere, greta everything. It also has some of the most memorable, most poignant, most sad scenes of all times.

 

In essence, besides the money it has made, it is eaisly the most underrated movie ever. It simply gets bashed because it so popular and so damn good.

 

It's eaisly top 5 movie of all time quality wise, if not #1. Sure beats Casawhina to be sure.

[Kaftan Barlast]

Dear Mister Volo, I thought you could do better than that? Such an obvious baiting is really beneath you dignity as senior troll of the fora.

For truly greta acting: Link. :D

 

I watched Titanic in a cinema in Japan surrounded by 100+ teenage girls. When the Leonardo DiCaprio character fell off his raft and disappeared down into the depths, a hundred noses sniffled and a hundred voices moaned 'Leo! Leo!'. I wanted to laugh out loud, but knew that if I did, I might not make it out of the building alive. :ph34r:
