Unlike you, I grew up on The Wrath of Khan so I'm giving Bob the benefit of doubt on this one. Not so much that I'll see it in a theater though.

You're probably old enough to have seen true versions of the original theatrical releases of the 3, but maybe not. They have been tinkered with extensively and it is now difficult to see the original versions, without any digital remastering, including changes made in 1997 and really big changes in 2004. I'm not a purist but the original theatrical releases are difficult to come by and have been for a long time.
Lucas has actively blocked any releases of the real originals, saying that they are not what he intended. Star Wars fans are pissed. You should watch: It involves the mass hatred of episodes 1-3 but also addresses the way that Lucas "ruined" episodes 4-6.

A local cinema had 25 hours of back to back films, with three different theatres showing simultaneously, this weekend for a 40th anniversary celebration. All the films they were screening were £1 admission. A wonderful idea I wish I had taken better advantage of, as I only went to one showing. However, when the one showing is as wonderful and as hilarious a film as this, it still works. I loved seeing this in the cinema for the first time. |

Yes it's a cut price Shaun of the Dead but who cares when you can see English icons like Richard Briers trying to escape Zombies on his zimmer frame and outpacing them or Honor Blackman swearing like a trooper and gunning down zombies or the one and only Alan Ford berating all around him? NSFW
