Ugh, what bullshit.
So, wait, the movie was inducted into the registry in 1989. So what did they induct, nothing? A vhs tape? And Lucas stalled them from '89 to '97, and that whole time they actually had nothing? If a movie can be "inducted" with nothing that long then the registry has no credibility, and it's just an excuse to have a little ceremony every year, might as well be the golden raspberry awards. Or am I reading it wrong?
