I would be super pissed if they replaced all the effects shots in The Evil Dead with new "improved" ones.

You aren't getting my argument then. This isn't about replacing shots, it's about fixing errors.
The reflection in indy isn't a technical limitation at the time.... you were able to film glass at the time without a reflection being shot.. it was a result of POOR FILMING! That's an error, not a limitation of the time. The errors in Tron are the same exact kind. Compositing images has been around since film's invention and there are a TON of movies released in the early 80's that did better compositing than Tron. It wouldn't alter the effect in any way to go back and fix it, all it'd take is somone to take the original, unaltered film without the effects applied and actually do a good job cutting out the matts for the ORIGINAL effects to be applied on and to actually align them properly.
I hate to tell you guys this, but when they release a film on blu-ray they already do some of this. Film doesn't age well so every time they re-release a film to a new format they monkey with the colors and digitially remove blemishes and scratch marks.
Your example is so ironic that I almost literally :laugh2: for a sec. Rami was so disappointed with Evil Dead's special effects that he REMADE THE WHOLE FILM. Ever seen Evil Dead 2?
For the record though, no fix is needed for Evil Dead because there aren't any glaring technical errors in that film. Again, I'm talking about technical errors, not changing effects. This involves things like bad compositing of the effect onto the film, mics and cameras in the shot and or reflections of people/ equiptment in the shot... stuff like that. Removing this stuff simply makes the film look like it was intended to look... it's no different than when they clean the scratches out for a blu-ray release, it simply takes more time and money.

They are plenty of goofs. Main one that sticks out right now is the eyeball on a string.
I see what you mean, though. My comparison was a bad one. Doesn't change my mind, though.
SavannahLion:
WTF are you guys talking about? Everyone knows that Greedo shot first.
Geez

I disagree.
The re-released SWs movies visuals do not fit. They look horrid.
For example, the original, where the aliens are playing their band is cool... But
it was yanked, and that god awful cgi cartoon crap was added in it place.
The whole movie has puppets and costumes in it. We saw it like that, and we
like that about it. The puppets, costumes, and Real Physical models look
1000x better than any CGI that Lucus has ever produced.
All the CGI looks awful and out of place. (Entire cities look like MR.Clean just
stolled by) Is badly animated. And over the top - slap your forehead bad.
The prequals made me sick to my stomach. I only paid to see one, and Im pissed
about that. The others I saw, merely due to them hitting cable.. and man, I felt
I should have been due Compensation for it.
