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 (fourteen years ago) link
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

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'

to be fair, swinging close-up IMAX testicles would be marginally funny for 30 seconds or so, and will probably feature in a Baron-Cohen movie at some point

just found out about this:
On the set of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Lucas shared his ideas with animation director Rob Coleman, when Coleman arrived for his first day. As Chris Taylor relates in his fantastic book How Star Wars Conquered the Universe, Lucas told Coleman “his ultimate framing device.” Taylor writes:“The entire story of Star Wars is actually being recounted to the keeper of the Journal of the Whills—remember that?—a hundred years after the events of Return of the Jedi by none other than R2-D2.”
“The entire story of Star Wars is actually being recounted to the keeper of the Journal of the Whills—remember that?—a hundred years after the events of Return of the Jedi by none other than R2-D2.”
i do not remember that btw

r2d2 just beepin' and bloopin' for hours at a time to some low-level functionary who needs to keep stopping him because his wrist is getting tired from writing in the journal with a space fountain pen
― kiss me dadly (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 11 March 2019 16:12 (five years ago) link
Is r2d2 a reliable narrator? This now makes me suspicious of the endless # of scenes where r2d2 slides up and coolly saves the day while everyone else is panicking like idiots...

It would certainly explain the gratuitous number of hardcore droid-on-droid scenes so liberally sprinkled throughout the series.

Not directly SW related but this is the most relevant thread I can find: The redlettermedia review of the latest Marvel movie calls Brie Larson a virtue-signalling, sexist, racist bitch for saying that most movie critics are white men. The critics of the Plinkett reviews were right -- they are awful people.

Few phrases are as inadvertently self-descriptive as 'virtue-signalling' (see also: 'social justice warrior' as a pejorative). Like when you start to casually malign aspirational behavior I think you technically qualify for villain status.

I have zero reason to watch the narrative video version of clickbait that passes for commentary on youtube
a few years ago I watched a few short clips doing that sort of thing and it was entertaining as a one-off novelty but everything's gone down the path of "this movie is a failure because it has a political agenda" or "top ten plot holes!" where a plot hole is anything that has an implied offscreen action that wasn't spoon-fed to the viewers
