Whenever I come across a post that really moves me, like a shot across the bow, I want to pay my proper respects in a more well-attended venue. If the post I enjoyed was in a thread no one will visit, it is as a tree falling soundlessly in the forest with no ears present to record the event.
There's so much wrong with that last sentence that I'm just going to get started. This isn't my thread alone! No, if you want to place your POTD here, you may; this isn't about me and my caprices. But more than anything else, let's keep this about great posts and not descend into off-topic shenanigans for once - that's all I ask.
skyjedi2005 doubles down on today's soulless CGI crapfest! Mr. jedi2005, you have the floor:
Making Menace a good film rather than just a tolerably meh crap film, good luck with that. There is zero chance since it is supposed to be done at the writing stage of the script, and the choice of directors and actors.
Indeed. Lucas was drooling at the possibilities provided by CGI and digital filmmaking that he carelessly glossed over the most fundamental aspects of storytelling, to his detriment. But back to you:
Could the prequels be redone by Better directors, writers and actors, yes. Wood i care to watch them probably not the original prequels would have already ruined the experience for me.
As I've said on other occasions, there is no unringing the bell. I would not possibly be able to block out the 1999-2005 PT when watching a reboot. Oh, but if I could, though! To see a capable filmmaker take on the SW universe...gosh, that hasn't happened in decades now.
Like fans wanting the original trilogy made and rebooted for a modern mindset to make them cooler and hip with the teen crowd like JJ did with Star Trek i would totally boycott any such attempt. I mean they would probably have Shia Lebouf as Han Solo, and either Hayden Christensen or Chris Pine for Luke Skywalker and there would be shaky cam and lens flares and lots of flashy video game graphics. Leia would be played by Keira Knightly, or Natalie Portman, or worse case scenario Megan Fox,lol.
Ha ha ha! Wow, you know, I think Megan Fox smokes myself, but what a mental picture! Megan Fox as Leia?? Stick to the T&A routine, sister! And just think of those other TOOLS playing Luke and Han - jeez! Gag me with a spoon! Anyway, thanks, skyjedi2005!
Any other nominations?
