Time
Mark Twain: I always wanted Huck Finn to travel on a Jetski, but the technology at the time wouldnt let me write it in.

Tolkien: I always wanted Hobbitton to be a sprawling megalopolis, but technology at the time wouldnt let me write that way.

Jim Hensen: I always wanted to use crappy CGI with the muppets and replace trhe frog killer's guns with walkie talkies and replace fozzie bear with a wombat.

I mean, no one could really LOVE these crap-fest 2004 versions so much, and continually think up new and increasingly illlogical reasons for the changes. Everything's perfect in Lucas La La Land for this guy, which is bizarre, unless Georgie Porgy is paying his salary.


I wish I was a Lucas mole. I am just a 17 year old Star Wars fan who loves digital effects. It just looks more realistic to me.


In other words you're just a dumb kid from the "special effects rule and dialogue is boring" generation.

Your kind is ruining movies.

Well, if you believe this, how do you explain the U.S. getting its ass kicked in Iraq? Hmm....The whole point was that the Empire was spread too thinly, and the rebel fighters prevailed, in that battle. The movie is totally fine with Ewoks. In fact I love the Ewoks, so cute, but smart. But i tell you what, there were boos when the credits rolled after Episode One...I bet nobody booed ROTJ....
I prefer to think of the last three films as an after thought. They are simply a mess for the average movie-goer. Thats probably why the reviews were so bad, b/c as movies they were bad. Episode Two was much better than E1, but IMO, almost every actor feels inappropriately cast. Lucas would have been much better served to use lesser known actors, who could actually act. Sorry guys but Samuel L. Jackson is not a Jedi, he's the angry black guy from Die Hard 4. Using bland name-brand actors was the biggest mistake ever. Natalie Portman has a big ass, and was pretty bad in E1. There i said it.


Um, excuse me, the USA is WINNING in iraq.

Time
A writer, producer and executive producer were lost in the desert.

All of a sudden, the writer spots this big jug of arrowhead Mountain Spring Water.

He raced towards it, but the executives saw the jug and overtook him.. to his horror, the two men started pissing into the bottle.

"What the hell are you doing????"

The producers looked at the writer "Improving it!"
