If only I had a time machine.

I like the casual attitude that the non-interview parts had. I think I would have loved to have met him, now for more reasons than the obvious fangirling. Thank you so much for making this footage available.

@Quesal Not psychic, he was just aware of what should have already been possible, but was likely being slowed down by business practices. For instance, most theaters in 1983 were still using old sound systems that hadn't seen updates since WWII, until LucasFilm essentially forced theaters to upgrade via THX certification (or else they couldn't show Return Of The Jedi). But I'm not sure anyone had the clout to be able to pull that off for TV picture quality.

I always love when he laughs.
This was great, to just see Jim and have something serious and respectful, is just as nice as all of the other Muppet type stuff.
I don't know how you got this video, but thank you for posting.

Whether you are inside an industry or not, he is clearly ahead of the game in his thinking re: video and computer imagery. Imagine if he was alive today, he would be combining the great storytelling he always had with the amazing visual effects we have now. On top of that, him talking about how film is going to go into the home primarily is also true, as most people have tv's so large now it's as good as a theatre. He was a true visionary, despide what you think.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
uh it's not really a big deal. he was inside the industry so of course he knew about advancements that were soon to be in use. doesn't make him nostradamus.
