I'm with Frink, Baron, Tobacco, and Bingo - title was too low brow for a serious discussion, or even a ranting\venting post. Want to be taken seriously (and as a board, we do), then the angry guy on the internet posting needs to be toned down.

Besides - the "Lucas has completely destroyed the future of cinema as we know it" threads are best left to a professional.....

Peter Biskind in Easy Riders, Raging bulls accuses Lucas and Spielberg of just that destroying the future of cinema by making it about the blockbuster and special effects and not cinema but really just crap kiddie fare.

And he got Marcia Lucas to agree with him.

Along with Kurtz recent comments of Lucas becoming a toys salesmen, i would say that unless taken with a grain of salt those are pretty damning.

Especially since the last good films Lucas worked on he did not direct, minus of course Crystal Skull a pure turkey the other films were directed by Spielberg and Kershner.
