the crimes of george lucas ('90s on)

? I am unfamiliar with this Obama

whatever obama's faults, neckfat isn't one of them!

whats with no CGI of Obama's grey hairs into black again

Revise all instances of "Yes we can" in 2008 victory speech to "Yessssssssssss"

or "maybe we can't !"

haha the old Lucas quotes remind me of that straight-to-DVD movie where ray liotta plays a fire marshal

I'm not playing devil's advocate here, but I will tip my hat to Lucas's cynical genius is this way: the neighborhood kids around here were all introduced to the "Star Wars" flicks via the (more) childish prequels, and parents generally didn't let them watch the original trilogy until they were older. At which point the damage was done, because those same neighborhood kids around here all play Anakin when they play Star Wars, or dress as Anakin for Halloween. Or Darth Not Vader or whomever. I don't think I've ever heard them utter the name "Han Solo," let alone "Luke." It's actually kind of weird, from my vantage.

I hate those kids

anakin/vader is like the only "interesting" character lucas ever created

(obviously he isn't actually even slightly interesting, but he does actually go on a "moral journey")

do kids these days also play "captain kirk" by blasting beastie boys on their nokia phones?

Han Solo is the only good thing about star wars

hence his name

oh yes they do

they made a blink but ignored the fact that its so obvioulsy a littel person in a bear outfit

Perhaps we should think of other movies where a "Noooooo!" overdubbed in would make a character's following actions easier to understand.

Maybe Dave can scream "Nooooo!" through the entire dissembling-HAL9000 scene.

Tim Allen screams NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO in every episode of Home Inprovement

A lot of Nicolas Cage movies would be improved.

Like World Trade Center.

In Jaws3D they should really make the shark go NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO while he crashes through the glass.

wait, why would dave scream noooo. the anguish of voiding hal's warranty?

the anguish of boredom

I think moveis in general woul dbe better if people were always screaming "flame on!!!!!!!!!"

I just found out about this. Fuck George Lucas. Do Not Want.

yeah backstroke of the west is his weirdest edit yet

Jaws screaming no while crashing through the glass would sound like the world's biggest burbling bong hit.

'I think moveis in general woul dbe better if people were always screaming "flame on!!!!!!!!!"'

i caught the end of a very very strange kevin spacy movie where he has johnny storm powers, but it was kind of a blues brothers drama/comedy. I can't imagine the elevator pitch for that movie.

was it pride and prejudice capsule hamster?

mouth-harp fire fairy

i mistake -- it wasn't kevin spacey, it was this guy:

"Wilder Napalm is a 1993 romantic comedy film about a pair of pyrokinetic brothers and their rivalry for the same woman. The film was directed by Glenn Gordon Caron, and stars Dennis Quaid, Arliss Howard, and Debra Winger"

the thing that makes the darth "noooo" so crazy is that there was nothing stopping Lucas from putting it in any of the previous 50 releases of the movie. Why did he realize that was needed in 2011?

99% of the other stuff is just an old weirdo playing with new effects toys.

wasn't there a thing about geo showing his stuff to small kids and asking for their ideas

The inside of Lucas's head must be so weird (not that the outside isn't weird)

small kids would request actually interesting insertions, like a FIRE ENGINE and a TIGER

wasn't there a thing about geo showing his stuff to small kids and asking for their ideas

George's son sat in on the screenings of dailies for the first prequel and would make suggestions

I have this on authority from the ILM editor who was running the projection booth

GL's son must be like 45!

which figures, given this thread and the quality of the suggestions

he has a son Jett, born in 1993 a contraction of jango fett

I made up the last bit I think

The inside of Lucas's head must be so weird

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/103/253932597_a23322970f.jpg

right so he's like 17:

a: all his sex and rap-related suggestions were nixed
b: any further suggestions he made were REALLY SULLEN AND SARCASTIC

yeah I bet that's where the nooooooo came from but he was six or less and racist for the phantom menace hence jar-jar

"jett" is the name of the hero in l ron hubbard's "battlefield earth" series

small kids would request actually interesting insertions, like a FIRE ENGINE and a TIGER

by the way i can not OTM this enough

underrated post

george lucas in '88

The destruction of our film heritage, which is the focus of concern today, is only the tip of the iceberg. American law does not protect our painters, sculptors, recording artists, authors, or filmmakers from having their lifework distorted, and their reputation ruined. If something is not done now to clearly state the moral rights of artists, current and future technologies will alter, mutilate, and destroy for future generations the subtle human truths and highest human feeling that talented individuals within our society have created.

oops meant to quote this one:

People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians, and if the laws of the United States continue to condone this behavior, history will surely classify us as a barbaric society. The preservation of our cultural heritage may not seem to be as politically sensitive an issue as "when life begins" or "when it should be appropriately terminated," but it is important because it goes to the heart of what sets mankind apart. Creative expression is at the core of our humanness. Art is a distinctly human endeavor. We must have respect for it if we are to have any respect for the human race.
