Well said.

I know it must seem really cool and such to be able to work on Star Wars, but when all is said and done, it's a job. You're not there to horse around and discuss who was the better bounty hunter or what really creates the force or random crap like that. You work your ass off, and let me tell you, movie-making is a hard job. Which is why I'm only doing it for fun.


Like Lucas or any other filmaker doesn't consider what they do fun.....

Making movies has got to be so much fun that it can't possibly be thought of as work. Besides if it's fun and you get off on doing, then it really isn't work, is it?


There are definetely fun parts of movie making (I mean, it's not a necessary thing... why would people do it if it wasn't fun?). I loved putting movies up on the screen and seeing people enjoying them. My Econ teacher actually used some of my class project videos to show to his other students to help them learn better. That just makes me feel awesome inside.

But, I really don't know how else I can tell you in a way you'd understand. It's a business for these guys. They have serious work to do, and if work isn't turned in on time, you can bet there will be hell to pay.

And just out of curiousity, how old you are? Not to say you're stupid, because you're not, but I think all you need is some experience in what it really takes to make a movie.


Don't see what my age has to do with this.....but I'm 29. And I work a shit job....so doing something like a movie would be the shiznits for me. The experience of working a shit job has obviously something to do with why I would think it's an awesome thing to make a movie.

So, I take it you are a student (film or otherwise) and haven't worked a job that you have to so you eat and make ends meet, right? Working for a living and supporting my ass has most definitely altered my view of what makes a job fun.

Just my opinions, of course....
