IJ and the KOCS. It's much easier and much, MUCH funnier.

Chalk it to more of Lucas' hit-you-over-the-head exposition. If the Lucas of today made the original three, they would have been titled:

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark of the Covenant
Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Sankara Stone-Worshipping Khali Cult
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade to Recover The Holy Grail of Christ's Last Supper

Consider how much cooler the following two titles could be for the new film:
Indiana Jones and the Lost Kingdom
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull

Either one flows better, is more concise, and doesn't smack of a bloated old hack fucking up his best work.

Recycled Prequel Music!?

I actually loved that "The Arena" finally got screen time in ROTS. While I hate 99% of Ben Burtt's musical decisions, he did two things in ROTS that I really did like:
1) The "War Drum" opening to the film.
2) "The Arena" when Vader and the Clonetroopers march on the Jedi Temple. The first moment I heard that cue during the midnight showing I thought (as I do now) THAT moment was worth saving the cue for. Too bad he had to butcher the end of it. I'd have liked the full cue to be played over an extended attack sequence in the temple.

Otherwise, yes, he recycled WAY too much music in the last two films. Everything on Geonosis is utterly unforgivable. Conveyor belt? The actual Attack of the Clones? Ugh!

An idea ...

In the vein of Jericho and the whole NUTS! Campaign, we ask the whole OT.com subscriber base to:

1) Print out two copies of the following:
Hi-res, print-ready PDF HERE

2) Snail-Mail to:
Howard Roffman
President, Lucas Licensing
Lucasfilm Ltd.
P.O. Box 29901
San Francisco, CA 94129

and

Sony Classical
550 Madison Ave, 24th Fl
New York, NY 10022-3211

The more professional-looking you can make the envelope, the more likely they will be to open it if bombarded by letters. Flooding them with something that is simply just this organized will get the message through. Knowing that most of us are strapped for time, probably only a few dozen people can take the time to write out an actual letter. But this should take no time at all, and costs $0.82 in stamps. Heck, send in several copies if you're feeling rich. Hundreds, maybe thousands of you can take this much time for the cause, and that should be far more effective.

Does anybody here have the Region 1 DVD of HP and the PHILOSOPHER'S Stone? I'm curious if the deleted scenes also used the term "philosopher" or not. I seem to recall the "Neville Leglocked" scene made mention of it but I could be mistaken and am currently too lazy to pull out my disc and go through the scenes.

Region 1 = NTSC, correct? If it's R1, it WON'T be PAL format ... am I right?

"I killed them all, the OOT fans, they're savages......even the women and the children. I slaughtered those non-anamorphic versions of the DVD too, I slaughtered them like animals!"


I HATE THEM!

(enter Padme): That's okay that you slaughtered everybody. We all get mad sometimes. It's only human.

Penned by Yours Truly.

Excerpts from the next great prison drama, The Shawshank Retraction.

Inmates: "Fresh Fish! Fresh Fish!"
Sen. Larry Craig: You don't understand, I'm not supposed to be here!
Captain Hadley: I'm not gonna to count to three. I'm not even gonna count to one. You will shut the FUCK up or I'll sing you a lullaby!

Sen. Larry Craig: I have no enemies here.
Red: Yeah? Wait a while. Word gets around. The Sisters have taken quite a likin' to you. Especially Boggs.
Sen. Larry Craig: I don't suppose it would help if I told them that I'm not homosexual.

Sen. Larry Craig: We'll fight this like hell!
Boggs: Yeah, you fight. It's better that way.

Tommy Williams: What are you in for?
Sen. Larry Craig: Me? I'm innocent. My lawyer fucked me.

Red: You gonna open it, or stand there with your thumb up your butt?
Sen. Larry Craig: Thumb up my butt sounds better.

Sen. Larry Craig: Hey, boss ... bathroom break?
