In the office today. Kind of a slow day after a busy week. I put #4K80 on my work laptop so I could listen to director’s commentary while working. Like many old movies, they don’t talk nearly enough. Modern movies they often talk through the whole film. I need more taking.
The commentary track is from the 1993 laserdisc. #EmpireStrikesBack
Just sitting around watching the 4K80 theatrical version of The Empire Strikes Back. It's pretty grainy, but that's old movies for ya.
Ahh, Boba Fett's original gravelly voice, how I've missed you...
It looked like the download for 4K80 was going to be an arse and stick on 96% complete for ages but thankfully it's now completely downloaded (4K83 downloaded ages ago), and seeing as I watched 4K77 last night, the OG version of The Empire Strikes Back is tonight's movie!
@skab there’s something about the heavy grain and palette in the first act of #4k80. Particularly in the Hoth base, it feels like a gritty 70s spy thriller, and that really fits the story. It’s so much more engaging than the ultra-clean versions Disney/Lucas put out in later years.
The technical production stuff like this sits alongside the other aspects of a movie like the acting and direction. Modernise one and it can clash with the other
