  1. It's been no secret that the continued fan backlash has really upset him over the past 10+ years. I think he just got worn out by it all.
  2. Something to keep in mind: Kathleen Kenndy is calling the shots on this film. If you don't know who she is, take a moment to look her up. There are few who are better suited for this task.
  3. Interview with Hamil;he and Carrie Fischer have known about the sequels since this summer when George took them to lunch.
  4. I'll admit, it's been a long while since I read any of it, but outside of the Thrawn trilogy it was all pretty bad (atleast it was back in the 90's).
  5. Well, really, his entire statement is rather silly. If it were truly irrelevant, it wouldn't be generating the kind of discussion it is on the Internet. It's a bit like jumping into a discussion and telling everyone that "no one cares," when clearly the person posting such a message cared enough to post it.
  6. I assume you never played KotOR.
  7. If there is money to be made by both parties, rest assured they will make a deal. From TheForce.net: "George Lucas has expressed his intention [. . .] to donate the majority of the proceeds to his philanthropic endeavors." "Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that one possibility being considered is an Avengers-style movie universe with not only Lucas' planned final trio of films but offshoot movies focusing on individual characters."
  8. Smashed? You might want to re-read the article.
  9. Mark Hamil on the new movie(s): "Can't comment on Ep 7 before I have all the facts which are short supply right now-Patience"
  10. The one? Did you not read the first page of this thread, big dawg?
  11. I'm not sure how anyone cannot consider this a good thing. George made a joke out of SW and Indiana Jones. And maybe, just maybe we'll get the original unaltered Trilogy on Blu-ray now.
  12. This is an action movie with sci-fi elements. Don't expect any hard science or logic behind the story devices--there isn't any. If you think about it too much the whole thing unravels; turn off your brain and just enjoy it.
  13. I am curious: how many of you here (besides me) saw it in IMAX 3D?
  14. It's OK to read books outside of school. #truestory
  15. That's right, it's not good; it's great. I assume Dan Brown is more your speed? Considering some of the movies you guys get excited about, the bashing of Prometheus smacks of fanboyism. Which, I get--we've all done it. However, there is plenty to praise about this movie, and the reviews back it up. I do wonder where all of you were when Looper was a hot topic of discussion. Seems like all the gun play and psychic powers distracted people from the glaring issues with the time travel plot.
  16. Gatsby is Fitzgerald's commentary on the "American Dream," wealth, and materialism in the 1920's. Just sayin'.
  17. I like you, Drew, but I have to ask: did you even watch the movie, or are you just trying to get in on the gang-bang? I myself go back and forth on some of the plot issues and character development, but the cinematography and direction? Really? You lost me, you completely lost me. Not directed at Drew: There is a lot of Alien fan-boy hate going on in this thread, which is glaringly obvious when you consider some of the absolute shite movies a good number of the members here love. But hey, to each their own--right?
  18. Have to back up Eugimon here. Outside of glaring character issues with Fifield, Millburn, and Holloway, the film is quite good. And most of the answers are either in the movie, will be answered in the sequel (which is in pre-production), or are never meant to be answered. And GU-11, don't be such a puss--watch it.
  19. Merging Ridleyverses: "Does This 'Prometheus' Easter Egg Hint at a 'Blade Runner' Tie-In?" http://www.firstshowing.net/2012/does-this-prometheus-easter-egg-hint-at-a-blade-runner-tie-in/
  20. I see what you are saying, Eug; I just thought it seemed a little too obvious.
