About Edge Numbers

Edge Numbers is written by Joseph Horn (that's me, nice to meet you). I'm a writer-director working out of Burbank, California (ooh, how original). I also, along with my wife Elizabeth, create and produce new media advertisments for other folks' nifty products and services.

Edge Numbers is my place to talk about things that I think are cool. From time to time that will be Tar Heel sports, the Tour de France (which, in America, is what we call the sport of cycling), whisk(e)y or beer. But most of the time I’ll be talking about what I am most interested in, and do for a living. Filmmaking. Tools, tips, flicks, the works.

I hope you'll find that we have similar likes and dislikes. When we disagree, I hope you'll remember that I'm just some asshole on the internet doing this for his own amusement, and will refrain from sending me angry email. Comments are turned off, not because I don't want to hear from you, but because I have all the penis pills I need. If you have something to share, please feel free to send it to contact [at] edgenumbers.com or follow me on Twitter @josephianhorn. If you want to be notified when Edge Numbers has been updated, you can subscribe to the RSS Feed, or follow @edgenumbersblog on Twitter.

Everybody Do Me a Favor

by AuthorJoseph Horn

Don't go and see Star Wars: Episode 1 in 3D. I see no reason why we can't all get on board with this. Don't all cinephiles, geeks and nerds want the same thing at the end of the day? To see a pristine transfer of Star Wars sans special edition-ification? Well, here's our chance. You see, the bastardization of the original Star Wars trilogy is all your fault (and mine). What's that you say? It's not your fault? It's George Lucas's? No, it's really not. Consider this:

He “polished up some effects” for the 1997 theatrical re-issue, and you went. He changed more for the DVD Special Editions, and you bought them. He made three disastrous prequels, and they currently sit at #’s 7, 14 and 32 at the all-time domestic box.

This is like me taking a shit on my neighbors lawn, and him throwing money at me to get me to go away. You wanna stop the insanity? You want to give ol’ George an incentive to release the theatrical editions of the films on blu-ray with a new, decent looking transfer?

Don't go and see The Phantom Menace in 3D.
