Why is the thread question in plural? His biggest crime was making more movies.

if i made a thread called "the crimes of hitler" i dont think anyone would complain that it shouldnt be in plural because his crime is "the holocaust"

not at least trying out a few alternate solutions to whatever is going on with that beard and his chin

Please note that utility data for the entire campus is also included. This was the only data made available with the application, and in order to accurately estimate and verify savings, individual building meter data will need to be obtained from the campus.

^^^this, far and away. its one thing to churn out crappy product, lots of aging directors do that (hell, young ones too!), but deliberately screwing up your past work - so that NO ONE can ever enjoy it again, that's a whole other level of unforgivable.

Cowardly G. Soundgarden (s1ocki), Wednesday, 15 July 2009 17:45 (3 years ago) Permalink

I still love the Patton Oswalt bit about how Lucas fucked up all these awesome characters by showing them as whiny kids, "you like Angelina Jolie, right? here's Jon Voight's testicle!".

what drove me NUTS is how he passive-aggressively included the real movie as a "special feature" on the dvd release but not the anamorphic version. SUCH a bitch move.

I don't think we can accurately judge Lucas' output without individual building meter data!

i thought it was some obscure nugget about lucasfilm's data output and how that proved the originals didn't exist any more or something

does anyone have a cite to the real individual building meter data from Ep. 2? is that on the DVD?

no matter how much i do like spielberg, i downgrade him for pulling a few of these lucas-style moves in his career, too.

oh no I mean: the prequels had maybe a bit much of sorta ethnic-typed aliens, which I think we've discussed plenty before

lucas and spielberg represent a lot of people in hollywood who apparently think the audience just can't handle moderately edgy shit anymore.

let us not split hairs and have this dumb argument, everyone knows what i meant. can we just keep laughing about the meter thing

Cowardly G. Soundgarden (s1ocki), Wednesday, 15 July 2009 17:56 (3 years ago) Permalink

i have GONE OFF about this before, but what really drives me nuts is that the basic scenario laid out in the prequels is really interesting! but they are still horrible. it's like someone made three really horrible movies out a great novel about a despot's rise to power. except there's no such novel. it's the weirdest thing.

xp yes wtf how can u introduce the idea of SLAVERY in the universe and then not address it ever again

nb I am usually less morally "offended" by ethnic-type aliens (though there's maybe a bit of that with Watto or JarJar) and more just aesthetically offended, like ... please actually make up a fucking alien from your head and not just animate some CGI Central Casting Stock Mildly Offense Ethnic Archetype shit

nabisco, Wednesday, 15 July 2009 17:58 (3 years ago) Permalink

knowing what little i do know about producers via my limited interaction w/them, i can say that they're mostly total retards who get bored by difficult films like 'heat' and 'the departed'

yeah i think that's why everyone hated them nabisco

so a couple of giant nuts swinging to and fro onscreen would naturally be the most hilarious thing imaginable to them xp

Awesome! Maybe we are entering a post-crimes era of the GL story. Selling off Star Wars, getting married, etc. Let's see some of those abstract personal films now dood.

Nah, I think he's at that point in his career now where, like Isaac Asimov or Stephen King, he has an urge to tie together his major brands.

Yeah, I can't believe people are freaking out about this. There's been crossover merch since Star Tours started in 1987, and since Star Wars Weekends became an annual thing in 2003 it's really stepped up.
