Just watched 40y old #BackToTheFuture 1 & 2 the night before and did not care to review the 3rd one again since I finally saw it in full HD over a #decade ago
Chose to watch #ChrisLloyd in #SearchForSpock after reviewing #Directors cut of #STTMP nights ago.
They spent millions for 40th Ann. to make it into the movie we expected when we first saw those TV commercials back in 1980.
Its arguably as good as #Wise's #DayTheEarthStoodStill which is a bar almost as high in my judgement as 2001
Watching Star Trek: The Motion Picture. #STTMP
In the scene where Spok arrives on the bridge the background behind Kirk and McCoy is blurred. Not out of focus blurred. Blurred blurred. But the space between them and Spok is clear. What’s up with that?
@SecularJeffrey I don't know if you've been watching the theatrical release exclusively, but I believe there's at least one cut that's substantially longer, and therefore more comprehensible, to me anyway.
On the other end of the spectrum, there's a very lean half-hour cut set to Daft Punk's soundtrack from Tron (Legacy?) High energy! I recall seeing that on Vimeo, I think.
I was in a mildly Star Trekky mood this morning, so I dug up my soundtrack to the original movie and listened to that on the long, arduous drive to work. A couple of thoughts:
1. In the main “hero” melody, the trumpets play a lot of slurs, whereas the TV version is clearly articulated. Interesting difference.
2. The Blaster Beam they used to denote the presence of V’Ger still sounds fucking amazing 45 years later.
