I, like many of you, go to movies like this one to be taken to a new world for a few hours. The moment the film stops because it has snapped of has snapped before but was badly spliced OR the sound kicks in and out, I am p*ssed. With films like this, I am there (as much as one can be) in that world and when I look over at a friend I may be with or even a stranger, I want to see them in that place with me. Not pulled away with shock when the theater figures that "We got their money, so what the flic is messed up." I avoid theater that does not fell the way I do about the Movie Experience. I strongly think that Lucas wants the viewers to see his work in the best possible conditions. Most artist feel this way and since he is where he is, he can make these kinds of demands. (I am glad that they are one I agree with. Since he has power to make demands) I will only see a film such as this in a Big movie house. Being in L.A. I have that option (many actully) to do that. If I did not, if able, I would go where I could. I am glad he is putting his foot down. Some things are just that Grand. In the Ten Commandments (the second C.B. Dmills ver.)the parting of the Red Sea can give one goosebumps, belivers of the faith or not. And it only works if you see it on a big screen in the kind of movie house that can properly show it. (or you seen it on the big screen but now watch it on TV or Video). Face it people, we all have been to see a movie of a simular scale and left feeling you we short changed beause the sound went out or the print was not as advertised etc. If this ensures that I will have the best possible trip, so be it.
