As far as the rest of the specifications go, there is no question that you can
buy equipment that is not THX certified but will exceed the THX specifications.
Then why aren't this THX certified?? Because THX is among other things another
way for George to make money.
If you look at Lucas's track record, he really hasn't done so well in the hit
movie business. His Industrial Lights and Magic are probably more profitable
than many of his movies have been. For every Star Wars he has had 10 dogs. I
don't seem to remember "Look at Life (1965)", "1:42:08: A Man and His Car
(1966)", "THX 1138:4EB (1967)" (well that's here the THX comes from I guess) etc.
American Graffiti and Star Wars (and anything anyone does with Spielberg, like
IJ).
I used to ponder whether Spielberg was so over rated. You know a bunch of cutsie
movies that made a lot of money. But ever since Shindler's list I've shut my
mouth.
I wonder if Lucas owns a Mini Disc recorder? The way I look it it, if he isn't
into the format, we can discount him straight out.
