THX-1138.ORG

THX 1138 was director George Lucas' directorial debut. Released in 1971 to a lukewarm reception, it's captured the hearts and minds of viewers around the world since.

The film was a dystopian, symbolic vision of one man's escape from his daily imprisonment. It commented on many ills of society, both then and prophetically, today.

The sounds and images that erupt from the film are carefully planned and wonderfully executed. THX 1138 was a film years ahead of its time.

Forum Re-Enabled?

By OMM0000 :: May 17, 2013, 09:01:46 pm

OK, I've upgraded the forum to the latest version, and I'm going to try re-enabling registration for the time being... Admin activation this time.

Unfortunate side effect is that the Theatre of Noise is now completely broken. Oh well, since I guess it was completely inaccessible unless you were logged into the forum. Dammit.

Going forward I'm going to move the non-forum pages into a wordpress install, including the theatre of noise.... its happening!

General THX-1138.org meanderings

I've just realized that there are serious problems with this site and how it works. The bad part is I just don't feel inclined to fix them at the moment. I will be disabling forum registration until further notice.

What does the future hold? I dunno, but expect that at some point the site will drastically change.... no time frame. It'll just happen one day. That is all.

The Elusive Return of the Jedi Reference Exists!

By OMM0000 :: September 18, 2011, 10:00:44 pm

If you've got the new Star Wars Blu Rays (and I know you do), check the deleted scenes for Return of the Jedi, specifically "Jerjerrod's Conflict."

As he's rotating the Death Star towards Endor, he learns of the rebel fighters entering the station.... "Flood sectors 304 and 138, that should slow them down."

So there was one the whole time, but it never made it into the final cut.

Can't wait for those Indy Blu Rays George and Steve.... c'mon!!!

Theatre of Noise Issues

By OMM0000 :: September 13, 2010, 08:24:26 am

Why doesn't somebody tell me when these things break!? It's been down for a while apparently, happened with a recent PHP update which rendered the gallery software incompatible....

Anyway, I'm still experiencing some issues with the gallery. I've managed to get it working again, (YAY) but the theme is somewhat broken and strange things are popping up where they shouldn't be. I'll get to looking at it when I get a chance.

THX 1138 Blu Ray Review

By OMM0000 :: September 13, 2010, 07:07:32 am

Just to get this out of the way right now, here's the short version: If you've already got the 2-disc DVD release of the "Special Edition", then you've already got this. Needless to say I was ~~somewhat~~ very disappointed with Warner with this release.

That's not to say it isn't worth it, just to have an absolutely brilliant 1080p copy of THX 1138, even if it is the SE version. The picture AND sound were amazing, as to be expected. The detail brought out was a bit interesting. I didn't remember the "white" walls in a lot of places being as grungy as they show up here. I'll have to go back and watch the DVD again, to see if there were any new changes. I don't believe there were, but in a couple of places I did raise an eyebrow going "I don't remember that, maybe, possibly..."

But there are no new extras on here as compared to the DVD, none. Zero. Not even an insert in the package. Wow, really?

The most disappointing is that there is no inclusion of the original 19...
