the crimes of george lucas ('90s on)

lool at the basement scene

amazingly funny line-for-line considering how long it is

the slashfilm article treats this like found art

How come every fucking scene in these movies involves someone standing in front of a window with a million fucking things happening in the background.

^^ this is one of those posts where, after you've read it, you can never see the movies in the same way again. So OTM it's not funny.

watching the long review - - similar to Angry Video Game Nerd it kinda drags when he's trying to be funny external to the movies....but when he's just going on and on dissecting in detail all the inane crap that adds up to the boring pointlessness of the movie, the LOLs kinda just rack up.

The Times quoted an associate of George Lucas, saying the Star Wars director will spend $10 million to update his 1977 movie into 3-D.

“George cannot leave it alone,” said the unnamed source. “He is salivating at the opportunity to play with it again. This time the Death Star is really going to explode all over the audience and leave them gasping.”

gross

explode all over the audience and leave them gasping.

He is salivating at the opportunity to play with it again.

Well, there you go.

After a few years of complying with Gallagher’s conditions, Ron began blurring the line between his act and that of his brother. He would often promote his act as “Gallagher Too,” a moniker Gallagher felt was insufficiently informative. In some instances, Ron’s act was promoted in a way that provided no clue to prospective attendees that they were seeing someone other than Gallagher himself.
Gallagher initially attempted to get his brother to stop these activities by requesting that he stop using Gallagher’s well-known Sledge-O-Matic routine. These efforts proved futile, and Ron kept touring as “Gallagher Too” (often spelled "Gallagher Two") while using the Sledge-O-Matic routine his older brother had made famous. In August 2000 Gallagher sued his brother for trademark violations and false advertising. The courts ultimately sided with Leo Gallagher, and an injunction was granted prohibiting Ron from performing any act that impersonates his brother in small clubs and venues.

Yeah, but it's Noel who really got screwed - i mean his act is nothing without the Sledge-o-Matic.

seriously will someone send Lucas a neverending stream of hookers so that he will be too tired to continue ruining the original Star Wars movies

with our luck the new 3-D Star Wars will have 3-D hookers

this 3-d version is gonna put the "oo!" in tatooine"!

makes me wonder who will carry on George's legacy of endlessly remaking Star Wars after he's gone

“George cannot leave it alone,” said the unnamed source. “He is salivating at the opportunity to play with it again. This time the Death Star is really going to explode all over the audience and leave them gasping.”

I don't understand how the success of Avatar is a demonstration of how 1977 Star Wars can be made 3D. They had to invent new cameras and shit for Avatar; is GL planning on reshooting the entire series again or something?

If not, I'm trying to think of how you could make it all 3D. In at least the first 3 films I think you could pull of a 2.5D. Certainly the effects shots would be doable and in most shots you could simply cut out the actors and backgrounds and have them on separate planes. He could even re-create in 3D CGI all the backgrounds in the original series and place the actors over those, also ala 2.5D, but a true 3D experience derived from 2D would be impossible.

Not even with all of Lucas's money.

is GL planning on reshooting the entire series again or something?

don't give him any ideas

in fact, please take away all the ideas he has now and lock them in a box and then set that box on fire and throw the ashes into the ocean

There's talk of 3d Raiders and Titanic too. I don't get how it works, either. I guess you could take the 2d images and then just guess at their 3d shape? Seems like it would end up wonky.

has to be said despite everything, 3-D Raiders = yum!

I would rather him gussy up his old bullshit instead of making new abominations.

But for chronic tinkerer Lucas, old bullshit becomes new abominations.

Sorry to be the one to break this to you, then:

In short: he's making a 3D CGI musical about fairies

Anyone see the 3D Toy Story re-releases? They're meant to look pretty good although not as good as dedicated 3D.

this picture makes me sad that there was never actually a direct encounter between the droids and Vader ("you seem familiar to me puny mechanoid..."). i consider this a crime on GL's part.

I found that because I got the idea today to try my hand at 3d-izing a Star Wars scene in order to get net notoriety/maybe a job and wanted to see if someone had already done so. I suppose the method was similar to this:

That sounds like a lot of work! Is there any way to automate it a little?

Mon-Cal stand up: "OK, so these two Niemoidians walk into a bar. The first one says to the barman..."

No Bea Arthur, no credibility.

So OTM, and so sad. Would love to see someone get at this in an interview w/ him.

Watching Ewan McGregor in The Men Who Stare at Goats is pretty good--he gets to play the whole movie not knowing what the fuck a jedi is.

for several years i actually haven't been sure if i'd even bothered to see the last of the prequels, until i watched one of the youtubes up there and, yes, i suppose i've seen it. that's the one that ends with the whole frankenstein's monster bit right?

you know, i haven't dwelt upon it because i don't really give a shit about star wars, but these movies are truly terrible on just about every level, aren't they? the hubris of lucas to write these things himself....
