I've decided that the football Droid is called "Skippy" until further notice. Because from the brief shot we got in the teaser, I had the feeling he was rushing to warn of danger. Kind of a "Beep Boop Beep... What's that Skip? Uncle Luke has fallen down a well?!?" vibe.

We already have a droid named "Skippy", thank you very much.

I think Lucas had some nascent talent back in the '70s, but instead of nurturing it he let it atrophy. By the time TPM rolled around, any talent he had ever had as a director was long since dead.

Had two separate dreams last night. One was relatively normal, the other ... not so much.

In the first dream, I met and got to know Jennifer Connelly. In this dream universe, she was an artist, and together we helped design a cover for a album either she was putting together or I was (if the dream ever explained whose album it was, I don't recall). Then we made a short film together (I accidentally sat on the Laserdisc(?) it was burned to and broke it into the shape of Batman's emblem). Finally, at the end, she kissed me (she had nice, full lips).

The second dream was far more surreal and abstract. It involved me evading robbers robbing a video store and gangstas going on a shooting spree to travel into alternate futures and realities to prevent something of Lovecraftian proportions from happening to the world. I think Deborah Harry was my spiritual guide in this dream, though I'm far from certain. I also met Kurt Cobain, who never really died but became some kind of insane Hindu-like ascetic who had taken a pair of nun-like women as wives. The dream came to an end with me having to choose one of a countless number of dimensional portals to step through; the right portal would return me to Earth in the proper place and time while the others would leave me stranded in other worlds and/or times with little to no possibility of escape.

I really don't get why people put such a priority on non-CGI stuff...

It's called "personal preference". Does that finally answer your often asked question?

That's what I thought but I couldn't figure out how they got Anti-matter out of that. Still can't actually. =P

The "another fanediting site" immediately brought to mind digital-fanedits.com. I figured this discussion was going to be about comparing that site with fanedit.org.

Garfield: His 9 Lives (1988)

Only Garfield's third, sixth, and seventh lives are all that interesting. The rest of his incarnations are incredibly meh.

6.2/10

Say Nothing (2001)

Remove the swearing and Nastassja Kinski's tits and all that's left is material worthy of a below-average TV movie. The writing sucks, the characters suck, and the direction and acting are about as inspired as a blank canvas. The best performance is definately delivered by William Baldwin's hair.

4.5/10

Monster Mash (2000)

I can see why this cartoon did absolutely nothing for me as a kid and still does absolutely nothing for me now. Too weak to be good, too adequate to be bad, it's mediocrity at its blandest.

6/10

Garfield Gets a Life (1991) -- 8/10

Garfield's Babes and Bullets (1989) -- 8/10

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies about looking out for love. Big, big love.

You can't disguise ohh, ahh!

This should have been posted in the bitching thread. I suggest a merge.

I thought this thread was going to be about Anti-Matter. Suffice it to say, I'm disappointed. =(

^She was barely alive to begin with.

For once, I wish someone would make a Jesus film where the Son of Man looked like this

instead of this

Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn (1987)

I used to love this movie when I was a kid, and I still like it, but it just doesn't resonate with me as much as it used to. With that in mind, it should be noted that my following rating is based on sentimentality and nostalgia more than anything else.

9/10

Johnny Handsome (1989)

While watching this film, I couldn't help but think that if it were to be made today, Mickey Rourke wouldn't need any prosthetic makeup to look deformed.

7.4/10

The Bedroom Window (1987)

A good movie, but it could have been a great one if only Elizabeth McGovern's character had been the main character instead of Steve Guttenberg's; she and Brad Greenquist were clearly the strongest characters in the entire film, while Guttenberg and Isabelle Huppert's were the weakest/least interesting.

The ending, as well, could have been much stronger; there clearly was no reliable evidence gained at the end to convict the murderer for the crimes he had committed, at least not in that point in time.

7.7/10

Lucas can't seem to pronounce anything from the universe he created properly.

Blade Runner (1982) The Final Cut

I suddenly have the urge to edit Blade Runner and Pink Floyd's music video for The Final Cut into one whole new Dickian musical experience ...
