the crimes of george lucas ('90s on)

some dude i was talking about how your boss says "snaaaaake!" when you die in metal gear solid. i.e. it's super-cheesy but nobody points and is like, omg how could they ruin this intense game

apparently it's an easter egg:

it's ok if cheesy screams are part of the original canonical work ("game over, man, game over!"), but retconning cheesy screams is just gauche

Jabba the slut

who CGI'd a ring of flesh around his neck

Arby's

thats no cgi man thats real steakfat

Ah ha I was just coming here to post this. So crazy! xp

ALMOST as good as 2006 vs 2011 Obama

? 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
