Actually the middle manager quote is dead on. I doubt many of you have been on a movie set but it's insane. You get everyone coming up to you telling you how they think a scene should be filmed. And by everyone I mean EVERYONE. Guys who park cars for the day tell you how it should be filmed.

I'm a filmmaker and I once had a guy come up to me and tell me (This is a direct quote).

"Can't the lead actor be like three inches taller. That would make this movie much better."

I have no idea who the hell that guy was. I never saw him before in my entire life.

Although Lucas is pretty much a manager and studio exec. He's a studio exec for his own movie. It's not like he buts into other peoples movies and tells them to refilm something.

Why don't you just rent it instead and not kick the movie industry in the face. Bootlegging is not good for anyone in the film industry. Lucas or otherwise. Go ahead and boot all the star wars you want but let’s not go about promoting bootlegging of movies that you can go out and buy for 14 bux.

Besides Warner owns THX not Lucas so it's ok to buy it

In my experience talking about sex usually lands you in bed with more than one person.

But I might be different.

I hope they don't put Ash in another movie ever.

I love the Trilogy but I don't want wreck these movies. I don't want to be a film snob but I like these movies more when no one knew about them. Now there are Evil Dead Lunchboxes for gods sake.

I'm not sure how I feel about Robert Rodriguez. His movies are fun to watch but they aren't very good if you know what I mean. Then you have Jaws which is a great moive and fun to watch.

I'm also a little sick of hearing about how he does so much with so little. LITTLE MY ASS. I could make a movie like Spy Kids with 30 million dollars too! Granted his first film was made for about 5,000 but his next film was made with 10 mill. Not exactly small beans.

Oh well just my two cents.

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.

See alcohol typing for me again. I'll go now.

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."

Yeah the Clerks TV show had it's moments. Tons and Tons of Star Wars references. If you can get it cheap I would.

Jay: Teach it to smoke. DUH.

Yeah that was funny stuff.

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.
