THX 1138 - finally on DVD!

Finally George Lucas film - "THX 1138" is being released on
dvd! It´s a classic sci-fi movie about technology,
control/oppression and humanity vs machines. The
similarities between film and reality are worth
considering:

"THX 1138 is how I saw 1970," says Lucas, who eventually
gave the name THX to the theater sound certification company
he founded. "It was designed as a metaphor for the way we
were living at the time. The world has taken a strange twist
from there, but I think the ideas we examined in THX 1138
are still valid in the 21st century."

So true!

anyway, I just wanted to say that this is a great film, well
worth watching.

(release: 14th september)

(Finally, my PowerBook´s dvd-drive gets something worth
playing... never used it for dvd´s though it´s three and a
half years old!)

The sounds in the film are probably familiar to
sample-spotters outthere - NIN & Dj Shadow among others have
sampled stuff from this film.

he's digitally enhanced this too. the trailler looks
excellent, and i love the original movie... but, i'm not too
sure how i feel about him tinkering with it.

lucas needs to leave his beautiful old masterpieces alone,
and quit shitting up his classics with his newfound love for
superfluous eyecandy.

yeah, "mr. self-destruct" starts with a THX-sample, if I
recognised it correctly.

I hope they release the soundtrack by Lalo Schiffrin one of
these days - it's a pretty strange electronic-y soundtrack..

epohs: true - I hope we don´t have to see jar-jar binks
flashing by suddenly! :/

yeah, check out the trailler.

it's definately 'enhanced'.

i mean, don't get me wrong, i still think it looks great,
but he's definately tinkered with it.

oh JESUS just leave it alone you ASSHOLE..

what was all that crap with a moving city!?

things.

inbetween.. oh but that music by Schifrin.. beautiful!

at least he's only got one more nutkick to our collective
childhoods left. after he shits out episode III and wipes
his ass with generation x's youthful imagination maybe he'll
fade away, or become a marketting exec for hasbro or
something.

he'll probably start all over, with yet again revising "a
new hope".
