Lucas in my pocket (again)

Well, I finally broke down and got a DVD version of the original trilogy. I have a VHS version (not sure which "cut") but I figure that one day VHS will be such a dinosaur that I will not have the pleasure of watching them. I decided to go with the limited edition that recently came out (2 discs for each movie, includes theatrical original). Wide screen of course.

I had a Borders discount coupon, and two gift cards, so I think I made out pretty well on the price. For some reason Empire was on sale, but the other two were not.

Anyway, Lucas has my share for these films. Now I'm wondering about I-III and which versions of those are available. Though Phantom is barely worth owning, it is part of the overall story. I guess the good news is that there is really only one version, right?

Next I want to upgrade my LOTR movies, as I only got the original full screen versions when they first came out. Mr. Jackson... you're nasty.

PS: You COULD go see Eragon - or, you can put SW, LOTR and Harry Potter on shuffle and experience the same thing. It would actually make a pretty good drinking game - whenever an Eragon character does something that is drawn from those other franchises/universes, you would have a drink. But don't plan on driving anywhere. The problem is, you wouldn't be able to walk afterward and you'd probably have brain damage.

OK, so the kid was 17 when he wrote it, but damn it's derivative! Nothin new under the sun I guess. Perhaps that is why there is now a movie called: Epic Movie - watch for previews.
