I just think its way too funny. People always get so pissed about politics. For some reason that is hilarious to me and lots of other people too. If it wasn't we wouldn't have political humor.
Don't get me wrong I have very strong beliefs about the issues and wouldn't even think of not voting (Even though living in Illinois pretty much guarantees that Kerry will win).
But let's face it. Talking about Politics or Religions will always get you in trouble. Unless you’re talking to one of those sex alien religious people who just want to be naked and talk about their religion. Are they Raelins or something? Anyway carry on and if I sit back and laugh don't get pissed. I do think this is very important but it's really funny to me because I’m at a distance from your passions. I'm rambling.
This was from the new issue of Playboy. It's from Giovanni Ribisi who is talking about Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
"They put all this technology to good use - it's not just a bunch of computer geeks jacking off." That's a relief because, hey, we've already seen Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones."
There was also a great episode of Clerks where Randal gets all sorts of directors up on a witness stand to give him his money back because there movies sucked. That was funny.
Randal Graves : State your name and latest film. George Lucas : George Lucas, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Randal Graves : And, do you think Phantom Menace is as good a movie as Empire? George Lucas : Well, certainly, I, uh, think it's the best movie I've made yet. Randal Graves : Permission to treat this witness as hostile. Mr. Lucas, how do you explain that in Star Wars, Obi-Wan tells Luke that when he met his father he was a great pilot, but in Menace he's just a little boy? George Lucas : Uh, well, my... my kids thought... Randal Graves : And how come Obi-Wan tells Luke that Yoda is the Jedi that trained him, but in the movie Liam Neeson trains Obi-Wan? George Lucas : Uh, well, the power of myth... Randal Graves : Isn't it true you knew this was a bad movie, that you wrote it over a weekend but kept telling people it was done for years? Lawyer: Objection, your honor. The pod race was pretty cool.
I'll be honest that I hate George Bush. I want him out of the white house but to keep from getting into it here on the boards I have to say that John Kerry is just as bad as Bush in my eyes. I'll vote Kerry just for the hope that things will change. That is all I will say.
Do you think we could go for four years without a president for a change?
I tried to look at my covers at work and all three times I got different responses. The first time all three worked. The next time Star Wars and Empire were bad. THe fourth time Jedi was bad but the others were good.
Tripod sucks for big files I guess. Sorry about all that guys. I'll try to find someplace else to upload them for ya
As of now the full set of TR47 Faces covers are up Here. Just follow the links to the other two covers.
Thanks again to Blaksvn and tlbauerle for the original work on the covers. I just pasted the two together. I'll get the other set of covers up as soon as I can. I wouldn't hold your breath through.
Here is the full sized Star Wars cover. I'm working on the others so don't be alarmed if the other links don't work yet. It took six hours to upload that one picture. I'm going to hold off on the VHS cover scans for now. I'll get it just not yet.
I for one am all for good fixes in older movies. Things like taking out wires and matte lines are AOK in my book. Still original enough. It's not like they added in a shot of Jabba or anything.
