    And the screen writing for his films is innovative??? (ok, he has made money in production...Skywalker sound, ILM, he sold off Pixar (dope! that was unforseen), and ...)
    I've read both sides of Mr Lucas. I think he has become the man that shadowed him when he was directing 1977 Starwars...

    I think I speak for many of us when I say that, a long time ago (hardeeharhar!) I had deep affection for Lucas. All his post-Raiders stuff has been a series of mediocre technical exercises. I have no hope that future George Lucas stories presented in 3-D or on the dumb iPhone will alter his inability to make me give a shit about his characters.

    I am firmly in the David Lynch camp on this one.

    I would have gone into that, but I am still sore over the "unaltered perfect theatrical release editions" on the last dvd set as bonus features being crappy laserdisk rips. THAT ISN'T HOW IT WAS IN THEATERS GEORGE!

    @Demonbird: It was a direct Laserdisc transfer. It's been the best available option, but you couldn't buy it separately. Only as part of the reissue of the 2004 SE's, which (shock) everyone bought the year before in the box set. And you're right. It's not what we want.

    I want the Wizard of Oz treatment for my Wizard of Oz. Scanned @ 8K. Cleaned. Remastered. And pressed @ 1080p onto a 5" disk. George, just do it already. Don't wait for the 35th or 40th or [insert round number here].

    Yes, I'm part of the problem. Yes, I bought the Trilogy on VHS 3 times in two years. Bought it again on DVD. ....I'll buy it again in HD....just make it, and make it worth our while.

    FYI, Ben Mankiewicz was canned a couple months ago for being the marginally less stupid sidekick to the amazingly stupid and ridiculous Ben Lyons, who ruined the show.

    Neither Ben will ever appear on At The Movies ever again.

    Of course Lucas has no problem with it. The dude is a techno-nut from the get go. I believe he (or one of his cronies) was the one who said, in reference to the "The best compliment you can get is that no one could tell there were effects in your film" that he disagreed. That he likes the big, obvious, flashy stuff.

    Look, Lucas is a fantastically talented man. He has shaped a great deal of how film is dealt with now. However, I have some differences with this man on what makes a good movie. And apparently, now, what makes a good movie-going experience.

    Maybe George Lucas believes that the RDF could be a possible link to the real Force.

    *waves hand* It's a feature

    I keep imagining Lucas and Woz going at it in a cage match, and they both let out a Wookie howl.

    Anyway, I wonder how Lucas feels about a rescripting of one of his movies playing on my iPod touch.

    She was I think the greatest kisser I have ever kissed in my life and - I make my wife the exception now. But in those days, I had never kissed anybody like that. There was such commitment. Such warmth. Such juice, frankly. The quickest way to get a woman in bed is to first get her clothes off and then get her to take a bath. Whether she needs it or not. It's romantic enough. Bubbles in your bathtub.

    Guys, come in here.

    We'd like to maintain the current level of black representation on the committee so let's go for a stroll.

    @macpatrick: Instead of inflating it, you could just fill it with your beverage of choice, and then run some tubing from the nozzle up to your face. Sure, Jabba gets thinner as the evening wears on, but by then, do you think anyone will care? Also, the convincing wobble of the beverage-filled costume will make you the hands-down winner of any costume contest.

    @met2art: Two problems with that:

    1. After consuming about a kegs worth of booze you'd have difficulty remaining upright.

    2. After consuming about a kegs worth of booze and being trapped in a giant colostomy bag it will no doubt become re-filled with all of that ingested booze, now recycled..
