Late last night, a question popped into my mind - does George Lucas have any redeeming qualities? I wondered for a moment, and this is about the best I could think of -

1) So far George has not murdered any actual living people
2) So far George has not kidnapped anyone
3) So far George has not raped anyone
4) George has never appeared in any internet sex videos [[COUGH:: Paris-Trash-Hilton::COUGH]]

Can you think of any more?

Sorry nadcracker but I haven't seen/read 'em.

Did anyone watch the 2002 animated remake of He-Man? It had Cam Clarke, voice of Leonardo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as the voice of He-Man/Adam and Gary Chalk (Optimus Primal from Beast Wars) as the voice of Man-At-Arms (Chalk had previously done He-Man himself in that awful New Adventures of He-Man).

There's a new He-Man & The Masters of the Universe film adaptation slated for 2006 so says Internet Movie Database, to be directed by John Woo, starring John Glover as Skeletor, and at the moment simply titled He-Man. It was rumored that a fellow named Jason Lewis was up for the role of He-Man but so far no one seems to be officially pegged for the part.

So... will this be a great return for one of the great icons of the 1980s or will it just be a horrible mess?


I predict "horrible mess", for 2 reasons:
1) Anyone here actually see the original Masters of the Universe movie, with Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor? I did. It's good trashy fun, but I don't think it warrants a remake. Did I mention Courteney Cox was in this as well?
2) John Woo has yet to make film in North America that holds a candle to his Hong Kong output.


Yeah, I've seen the Dolph Lundgren/Frank Langella He-Man film. I grew up watching. I own it. I even went so far as to listen to the audio commentary by director Gary Goddard. All I know now is that it's gonna be hard to find a guy who physically can stand out the way 6'6", 240 pound Lundgren did, and John Glover is gonna have a hard time replacing Langella, who was really freaky evil in that film.

And sadly/ironically it was the shrieking Courtney Cox who hit the big time instead of stars Lundgren & Langella. What a world, eh?

Maybe the new guys can get Dolph to cameo as King Randor, father of He-Man.

Aye verily.

I have to admit that lately the movies that come out, so many of them don't feel like real movies. A lot of them feel like parodies of themselves or just all out commercials for crappy reality TV, with no real sincerity or conviction or substance at the core. This is probably a bad example, but when I look back at some of the early Friday the 13th movies I feel like I'm watching a real movie, albeit not a very good one, but with later entries in the series (and the slasher film genre as a whole) I feel more like I'm watching a parody of a horror film than an actual horror film.

LEIA: "Am I bothering you?"
DARTH VADER: "Yeah, you're bothering me!"
IMPERIAL GUY: "So what are ya gonna do about it?"
DARTH VADER [sticking finger right in Leia's face]: "I'm gonna break this bitch's ass!"
IMPERIAL GUY: "Why break it when we can f*** it first?!"
DARTH VADER: "Hey, this is my daughter, that's sick!"

Sorry, it's a variation on the scene in Brian de Palma's Dressed to Kill when Nancy Allen's trying to lose the transsexual serial killer and gets on the wrong side of some toughs in the subway.
