George Lucas speaks out against Colorizing Old Black and White Fims....

[baimun]

"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."

Reportedly, Lucas's tongue then lept from his mouth and went running down the hallway. Riot squads were brought in to break up a fight between a pot and a kettle.
