Oh The Lies We Weave

I have finally found the information I need to bring George Lucas to his knees. While searching the Internet and reading movie news, I found an article about colorizing DVDs of old films and television shows. Sony is releasing The Three Stooges on DVD today with a feature to either watch episodes in black and white or color. There was a section in the article about the colorization of films by Ted Turner in the 1980s and this is part of the article:

Star Wars creator George Lucas, who testified with Steven Spielberg before Congress in the 1980s against colorization and other forms of alteration, said the process yanks such slapstick performers as the Stooges out of the black-and-white universe they belong in.
"Would color distract from their comedy and make it not as funny anymore?" Lucas said. "Maybe just the fact that they're in black and white makes it funny, because their humor is dated. But by putting it in black and white, it puts it in a context where you can appreciate it for what it was.
"But you try to make it in full living color and try to compare it to a Jim Carrey movie, then it's hard for young people to understand. Because you're then thinking you're comparing apples to apples, when you're not. You're comparing apples to oranges. I'm saying it's not fair to the artist."
What happened to this ideal? Why has he changed his outlook on altering original masters? Should someone remind him of his testimony before Congress and America about altering films? Maybe they should, and maybe that someone should be me. This is the proof I needed to get the first edition of Star Wars on DVD.
