"Lucas breathes oxygen! An evil plot to deny the rest of us breathable air? Film at 11!"

Honest to God, the outrage over this man has reached ridiculous proportions.

I gotta agree here. While I'm sure a big marathon screening would be fun, I'm not sure why Lucas alone among all filmmakers is somehow evil for his company enforcing the rules about pubic screenings of movies.

Sorry to the dude, but the dorm common room at my college had to get special liscened versions of movies to show them. You have to arrange a special deal with the service provider to have a PPV shown in a bar.

Lucas' lawyers also claimed that DeVito and the Wicked Monk hadn't tried to get permission to use "Star Wars" material.

DeVito admitted he'd never thought of it.

This is more a case of someone being dumb that Lucas being evil.
