Sorry but if the people writing are breaching basic ethics and that are(As someone who has been to several shrinks and done a ton of research for something I am writing I know what I am talking about here.) I can tell you no one in the field would dare try to to make judgements on someone they have not sat in a room with and asked very pointed questions and if they did they would never make their findings public if they did.  They take the same oath to "Do no harm" that all other doctors do and attacking the person in public and making guesses as to what is wrong with them makes them far less likely to seek help and the doctor in question far more likely to be wrong about what their problems are.

In other words the writer of this piece has breached all ethics in order to write something that will make they themselves famous so of course they will go off the deep end and talk smack about the famous person they are writing about. If they have breached one set of ethics in the name of fame why not all of them.  So I am sorry but I don't trust a word these type of hucksters has to say.

 Listen, I took 'Psych 101' AND 'Psych/Soc 104 Statistics for Sociology' and let me tell you, it's pretty clear from reading this post that you suffer from some serious borderline personality, and are probably psychosexually still in the oral stage. I recommend both ritalin and lengthy hynotherapy.

So Lucas thinks his movie is being marketed wrong, as a sword fighting-adventure movie, when he made more of a musical that he thinks is somewhat more for girls, but that it's not ONLY for girls. 

It's an interesting discussion that Lucas is at least still aware of Hollywood social issues and he takes a couple shots at the Academy. 

I'm going to go see this over the weekend, so I'll let you know.

Episode 11 is out now. www.TheTableRound.com

We were finalists for several AudioverseAwards and won for Best Supporting Actor. 

If these new droids work out... I mean if our new assistant editors work out, I might just start production on that side project Star Wars mini-series I've been kicking around.

Star Wars is like one of those really expensive pizzas with sundried tomatoes and feta.

It looks like it's going to be junkfood, but turns out to be exquisite cuisine.

Peter Jackson on the two-film edit:

The split was going to occur where Bard [Luke Evans] appears on the river bank as a silhouetted figure with a bow. So the whole barrel sequence was going to be the climax.

Just in case someone wants to re-create the alternate universe two-movie edit.

 that would be cool along with cutting some bits out that weren't in ether the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings books, it might make for two roughly 3 hour films!

The old 90 minute Rankin/Bass Hobbit moved along at a pretty brisk pace without leaving TOO much out or adding lots of extra padding so still remains my favorite adaptation so far, but I still think Del Toro (or PJ) could have made one or even two REALLY amazing movies from this story on par with the LOTR films IF the focus actually remained on the title character of Bilbo instead of on Alfrid, Legolas, Kili/Tauriel, the white Orc, the White Council, etc. 

As it is, splitting this story into three bloated films has really killed this version as far as I'm concerned--a lot of the extra stuff in the films could have been added back in for the extended editions but should probably not have been left in for the more streamlined theatrical versions. 

I'm really looking forward to watching a shorter one or two movie edit and think it will do wonders for my prequelesque feelings of mehness about the current PJ versions.

 I'm contemplating doing a edit that matches as best I can the pacing and events of the cartoon version. I might even make it full-screen. 

I really really really like this show.

And I for one think Ezra's lightsaber is cool. It embiggens the world.

And good sticking with Trooperman.

Do many Darths on the forum.

All nonsense. There is nothing in the films to imply a year ISN'T what we mean by a year. Anything else is EU writers trying to hard.

Now all future books and comics will share the same level of authority as the films. If that doesn't warrant a new discussion, I don't know what does.

 That will simply never be true. No matter what they say, Disney/Lucasfilm will never put that much stock in the books/comics/cartoons. The money is in the movies.

If they have a plot for Ep VIII and it contradicts a book or "Rebels" I guarantee no one in charge will give a hoot. 

I walked out and have still never scene the end of "Batman and Robin" and "Mortal Kombat Annihilation."  

Stayed for the PT though.

Just logistically 50 different sets is INSANE. If you're giving yourself a year, I strongly recommend taking a good long look at the script, and finding scenes that can take place at the same location, or be shot on the same location standing in for different locations.  Just travel will kill you.

I shot a film where a small box canyon, with a couple props and different times of day and angles stood for four different locations. 

I acted in a film where a racquetball court was both a dystopian prison cell, and with the addition of a file cabinet  and a plant, served as a office for a close-up dialogue scene. 

I tried reading "Tarkin."

it opens with a chapter describing why Peter Cushing's uniform looked the way it did. Very detailed. Very dull. Stopped reading, went back to library. 

...TV Frink's momma. Some say...

My favorite slasher flicks

1.  Friday the 13th
2.  Black Christmas
3.  Halloween
4.  Friday the 13th Final Chapter
5.  Alice Sweet Alice

I write erotica about the relationship between Michael Meyers and Jason Vorhees.

It's Slash Flick Slash Fic

I am now trying to picture what a Star Wars movie directed by Frank Miller would be like ...

 Homophobic, dull, and the only good bits would be where it reminds you of Dark Knight Returns. 

Frink's lips all over the...

I read up until they got to the Joseph Campbell refrences. Most overused gimmick in criticism. I tapped out at that.

What started as analysis became a tool and now an excuse.

"Darkness"? 

Star Wars is kinda a fairy tale. I don't mind 'darkness' involving destruction, scariness, fear, even pain and death. 

'Darkness' like the Batman "Arkham Asylum" games I can do without. I'd hate to see everyone be dirty physically, bad language, sexual content, drugs, degradation, and revealing outfits be (as is all too common) offered up as a thin layer of 'adult sophistication.'

The alternate timeline thing was a clever way to bridge the two universes and make everyone happy, but it does create some serious headaches if you think about it too much. I find it's easy, though, to put continuity issues aside and view these films on their own, as a reboot. 

 NuSpock calls OldSpock and asks "Dude, how did you beat Khan in the other movie?" 

Did that make anyone happy?

I'm Celebrating New Years Day watching the entire OT in Spanish while putting together jigsaw puzzles!

From the clips I saw it looked horrendously unfunny.
