I agree with some points here. I don't want to go into excruciating detail, but yeah, like Gregory, I'm betting they will do it right. I'm not claiming they'll remaster the OT again in higher resolution, but I'm willing to go as far as saying they will do the best job they can with the conversion. Sure, I've heard that most films you(Dorkman) brought up looked terrible in 3D, which is why I opted out of watching them that way, but Harbin's right. They're announcing it now(or a few months back), and that it won't be ready until 2012.

We've no guarantee that they're not rushing all 6 films, releasing them on an annual basis nonetheless, but I'd like to think there's a tiny spark of hope in Lucas, and I trust him to do the best conversion possible.

That being said, I'll gladly eat those words in 2012, or, if we ever get to it; 2013.

I don't think you have to look like Ron Paul to watch 3D movies.

And they make you THINK like Ron Paul.

Speaking of which, there's a showing this weekend of the original 3D version of Creature from the Black Lagoon as part of the Buffalo International Film Festival (yes, it surprised me as well ^_^). I'm probably going to go, making it and the uncut print of Metropolis my two festival experiences. Unless I also do the 35mm print of Evil Dead next Saturday...

Well, for what it's worth, here's a quote from John Knoll from the copy of Homing Beacon I just received:

"Getting good results on a stereo conversion is a matter of taking the time and getting it right," said John Knoll, Visual Effects Supervisor for Industrial Light & Magic. "It takes a critical and artistic eye along with an incredible attention to detail to be successful. It is not something that you can rush if you want to expect good results. For Star Wars we will take our time, applying everything we know both aesthetically and technically to bring audiences a fantastic new Star Wars experience."
