What the fuck, Lucas?

Lucas just beat the youtube pranksters at their own game.

Vader's silence is the reason that scene works. Well, worked.

**Ezee E** · 08-31-2011, 01:52 AM

Both sound very... not right. It seems downright amateur.

**Spinal** · 08-31-2011, 01:53 AM

Sadly, it seems like Star Wars gets less cool with every passing year. I can't even look it in the face anymore.

With Guru Dutt's Pyaasa I can finally say I've seen a great Bollywood film. Great catchy songs by S.D. Burman. Songs that are actually woven into the film's narrative. Amazing editing and cinematography. My only knock against it is that it lagged in places, but still I can forgive that for everything else it showed me. I'm actually excited to see another of his films.

Oh, and Lucas is dumb.

No, just... No.

Is Bruce Lee credited in the second clip?

Someone is successfully trolling the nerds .. Or Lucas is still great about getting people to talk about his products.

Either way, pretty masterful.

I love you, George. Don't ever change. :lol:

He should also work backwards, offering an alternate version where "Skywalker" is re-dubbed as "Starkiller" and Chewbacca is replaced by a CGI green alien and the title is changed to "The Star Wars."

Yeah, I don't buy it.

My favorite show is The Simpsons and my favorite movie franchise is Star Wars.

I shouldn't have to say "but" after I say these are my favorite things.

**Qrazy** · 08-31-2011, 07:46 AM

Obsession - That is the worst shit I have ever seen. F--

It was a sheer act of will to finish watching it.

As I've said before, I often find it difficult to fully embrace De Palma. I'm just rarely taken with camp, which is probably why I'm not big on horror. I don't mind hysterics or histrionics generally. I have trouble with Ferrara's camp, and he's maybe half as campy as De Palma, but more artfully-minded and impressive overall as a formalist.

I love Ferrara, but I don't agree with that last bit at all. Not to mention their styles are damn near diametrically opposed.

**Qrazy** · 08-31-2011, 05:10 PM

Yeah I would have to say the best De Palma is more formally impressive than the best Ferrara. Ferrara tends to get better performances and have more interesting and unique things to say though.

Tonight I aim to transition out of my recent viewings of mediocrity with Tekken. Oh, but it promises to remind me how good mediocrity can be...

Eh, at this point it's been ingrained in my head that the original Star Wars trilogy was a milestone in filmmaking, and one of my favorite series ever. Recently I haven't wanted to revisit it.

Up until now, I have always been indifferent to the changes made to Star Wars. I didn't even care that Greedo shot Han first, I always thought that no matter what Lucas would do, Star Wars would always be Star Wars.

But those changes. . .oy.

**Rowland** · 08-31-2011, 07:16 PM

I used to be one of those hardcore fans who rabidly defended the first two entries of the prequel trilogy and posted on theforce.net. By the release of Revenge of the Sith, my affection for the series had waned significantly, and now I honestly never even think about it, or respond to developments like this with anything more than indifferent amusement. I've devoted more time to that series than it even remotely deserves.

Don't you mean ...

Nooo. Nooooooooo!!!

**MadMan** · 08-31-2011, 09:59 PM

At this point I'm no longer surprised by what Lucas does. Nor do I really give a shit.

That said, I'd be lying if I posted that I wouldn't go see the original trilogy if it was released in theaters again. Namely Empire Strikes Back, which is the one out of the original series that I've seen the least.

**Ezee E** · 08-31-2011, 11:15 PM

Doubt it, but anyone else going to be in Telluride this weekend?

Sounds like A Dangerous Method and a restored A Trip To The Moon are going to be there.

**Watashi** · 08-31-2011, 11:23 PM

Have you seen the trailer for the new Captain Planet movie?

I wish I was, but alas I don't have the money to fly or drive to Denver (isn't that where its at? I don't recall).

That Captain Planet sketch with Don Cheadle is hilarious. "Recycle. Or I'll turn you into a fucking tree." It also has Bretta from Community.

Denver, and then another 6 hour drive into the mountains

Adoption (Mészáros, 1975) 8

Awesome. Check out Diary for My Children too. Not quite as good as Adoption, but still an amazing work from the wife of one of the all-time greats (how's that for a backhanded compliment?).
