Message: [QUOTE="miguk, post: 73055, member: 1510"] On the one hand, a lot of people have poor art education and don't know better than the original filmmaker as to what should be done with their films. Test audiences tend to be a bunch of whiny crybabies who can't understand that unhappy and bittersweet endings are sometimes the right thing for a film and their demands for mommy to make it all better aren't worth fulfilling. On the other hand, there are some directors that either make a few too many mistakes or aren't even competent to begin with. I don't care how good the score is for a Christopher Nolan film; if I can't hear the dialogue because Nolan's idiotic sound direction drowned it out [I]once again[/I], it sucks. Likewise, It's safe to say that [I]Star Wars: The Despecialized Edition[/I] is the best version of of the original trilogy that exists now thanks to George Lucas' thoughtless destruction of the original prints so he could replace it with some really bad edits. Furthermore, there are some completely bad films that won't be at all good until they enter the public domain and someone takes the time to make them worthwhile. It's too bad we can't have the video equivalent of rom hacking to get us a bit closer to that in the meantime. [/QUOTE]
