The latest Profiles in History auction has a ton of cool Star Wars and Indiana Jones stuff. (And iconic items from nearly every genre movie and tv show you can name!) The concept art for various Star Wars posters is really cool to see! You can drool over the catalog photos here.

I'm not aware of any widescreen release of Howard. (I could kick myself now for passing on a 35mm print that was on ebay a couple years back! Like I had any way to run it!) When it hit pay per view, the "Duckumetary" teaser and music video were in heavy rotation on the preview channels, so somebody must have taped them back then. I just found one trailer on Utube.
There are actually two versions of the music video. The first version is edited to avoid showing what Howard looks like before the movie was released, and the second has Howie in all his ducky glory.

"He's our leader." George Lucas, Howard the Duck teaser trailer.

EDIT: dcfcfan beat me to it!

There is a Japanese Laserdisc of this out there somewhere, but there would be pesky subtitles to deal with.

Holy...! Did this actually air like the one with Artoo sneaking a cigarette? I have to wonder if this was filmed during the Holiday Special shoot. And who knew Muftak coudn't hold his ale?

There's stuff in Animatrix that seems lifted from the "Nightmare" segment of Robot Carnival. But the same animators could have worked on both projects.

This does bring up an interesting question. If HD totally takes over, will tv shows shot or post-produced in standard def video (especially analog) look really bad forevermore?

If you could rent or borrow the Matrix disc from the boxset, it might save you the trouble of color correcting the Oracle's scenes. They apparently went back and tweaked the colors in the Matrix scenes to match the sequels.

Remember when the number of Star Wars novels (aside from the movie adaptations) consisted of just the three Brian Daley Han Solo books, Lando's own trilogy, and Splinter of the Mind's Eye?

Invader Jenny, the "Infinties" stories are the Star Wars version of Marvel's popular old "What If?" comic book. Showing what happens in a familiar plotline if one zigs instead of zags. I found the one where Luke's torpedo didn't stop the Death Star, and The Yavin base gets it pretty cool. I think Lucas was "inspired" by Yoda's larger role in that storyline while writing Episode III.

Ironically, Marvel SW fans back in the day begged for a "What If?" Star Wars story or two, (that and having Vader meet up with Dr. Doom!) but Lucasfilm apparently shot those ideas down.

No doubt another painfull high concept comedy from Hollywood, but you must watch the trailer! It's on topic, trust me.

I think as more EU stories set between Episode III and IV are written, Palpy's alien staff probably will be sacked or have unfortunate accidents.
As for Sly Moore, maybe Sith lords dig bald women?

I peeked at the listing again for the heck of it. The seller is now "not a registered user". (Which makes leaving any feedback impossible.) So, what was more fake? The 16mm reel, or the Brokeback Mountain screen worn shirt he was peddling last week?

Found an interesting website about the Scanimate an analog(!) computer system used to make many a flying tv logo in the 70's, and the famous Death Star targeting scanner countdown screen in our favorite film.

Return to Oz is not a sequel to the Judy Garland version as it's derived from the Baum books. (It was interesting how many critics didn't seem to know about them at the time!) The animated musical Journey Back to Oz was a direct sequel though.

Okay, Halloween III, Smokey and the Bandit III, and none of the posthumous Peter Sellers' Pink Panther flicks are on there. How the hell am I supposed to take these EW guys seriously?

The final Planet of the Apes film has no business on there. Oddly enough, it's the oldest film on the list. They couldn't find one bad sequel made before 1970?

I never cease to be amazed at how many poster designs the OT had. My personal faves are the carnival style one above, and the 1st anniversary one with the birthday cake surrounded by the Kenner figures. The first time I saw that one, I realized Star Wars had become something permanent in the world.

It's weird that all the PT posters were uniformly the same artwork no matter the country.

I only had a couple nitpicks with the movie. Wouldn't all the supervillians run amok after the supers have been forcibly "retired"? (Darn lucky thing the Underminer didn't show up earlier!) The superhero ban seems like it only was instituted in the U.S., so any supers in Europe or elsewhere would simply thumb their noses at it, even if they had to stay on their side of the pond. Still a fun movie though.
