I think we can agree that second hand smoke is bad, and the societal effects of alcohol can be bad.
So the only defensible drug has to be Love.

But the Empire did strike back in that film.
The clones attacked. They just attacked the robots.

Attack of the Clones is by far the worst of the three. Though I guess it was good advertising - it made the movie sound so much more exciting!
Appropriately it's also the worst film of the three.
AOTC is my favorite title for my least liked film. It's just so in your face, like ESB.

Has there lately been an advertising blitz to popularize this forum on middle-school playgrounds?
I finally watched "Star Wars" with my baby son! (22 months)
It's been a long wait. We watched up until Tarkin has his board meeting (about 30 min?) and then the baby got bored.
He loves Vader (named: Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) and Artoo (named: Beep Beep) and was less interested when they weren't on the screen. Otherwise he seemed more interested in this than any other non-Elmo TV he's been exposed to.

I doubt Lucas wouldn't have been anything without Coppola. He'd already made "THX 1138" which was seen as visionary, and earned his internship at Warner.
To clarify, Lucas had made his student short-film Electronic Labyrinth: THX-1138 4EB, which got the attention of Coppola who wanted to produce it as a feature.
Just wanted to clarify that you were referring to the short film Electronic Labyrinth and not the feature length THX-1138.
And I thank you sir.
No more meta refrences and non sequitors.
It's time for this thread to educate and save lives!!
This thread is now about PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE!!

I think Lucas may have forgotten where he came from. He wouldn't be anything if it wasn't for Francis Ford Coppola mentoring him in his formative years but I hardly see George taking on such a role.
I doubt Lucas wouldn't have been anything without Coppola. He'd already made "THX 1138" which was seen as visionary, and earned his internship at Warner. He could have gotten his well earned break from anyone. And Coppolla had nothing to do with "Star Wars."
How many people in Hollywood have gotten their break working for Lucas? I bet the number is countless. Roger Chrisitan, John Dykstra, Ben Burtt instantly come to mind as people who got that break from LFL.

Not that I would have graduated anyway; in this stupid part of Canuckistan you can't graduate without raking up points from doing some 24-odd hours of work experience first.
Doesn't sound so bad. Here in California there are lots of kids who graduate, are not college bound, and don't even know what an honest day of work looks like.

...but the fact that they've "only" made 3 prequels, Indy 4 and Red Tails in the last 12 years is actually a pretty good output.
And started an animation division thats made 60+ episidoes of tv.

Now I know if someone proposed the question that is asked in the title my response would be a cynical "Oh to reap the mountains of money from further home cinema releases, merchandising, EU titles blah blah blah to feed George's insatiable hunger for blah blah blah...."
... ...
So you don't care for Lucas's output. A lot of us dont, but as zombie pointed out LFL is a very busy production house.
With all their available resources they should be that film making utopia were some upstart could come get their little film financed and produced away from the Hollywood bogey-man. Well in actual fact those film makers are doing a better job financing their films in Hollywood. The chance may be slim to none but it's better than zero.
Why would Lucas do this? Sure it would be nice, but it would be nice if Bill Gates gave me a grant too.
If George wanted to direct Red Tails fucking take the job and direct it.
As for his role in the production of "Red Tails" I'm sure Lucas is doing precisley the job that he wants. As the hands-on producer, he's seeing that he gets exactly the film he wants/pays for. I doubt he sees day-to-day on the set directing as necessary for that goal.

To be fair, the X-Men comic character has had that name since 1980.

Several years prior to "Our Mr. Shaw" doing anything... noteworthy*.
I think we can count his probably excellent work in the prewar British cinema as 'obscure' without upsetting too many people.
He'll be digitally replaced with Scott Cann as Hayden Christiansen

it seems that Thermostat has been temp or perm banned.
It's unfair to ban someone, even the loathsome Thermostat, just because of bad 80's hair!
I'll always remember him as Max in "It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman"
Akwat Kbrana said:
Personally, I think we've just been witnesses to some Frink mischief. Not to be unkind, but Thermostat's spelling and grammar wasn't really ABC-ish.
The game is still afoot!

What a well written production.
I beleive it... but sometimes those BBC production values are all I can see. I rented "I Claudius" after I had just watched "HBO's Rome" and I my eyes just couldn't take the step down.
So, the mystery is solved... or IS IT??????

Yeah, that works. Or perhaps L.T.DS.I.F

I find that most of our most innovative people learned these skills outside of the classroom. They're gifted, you can't teach gift. And I don't think innovation get taught in the classroom either.
Polio Vaccine, Hybrid Cars, Supersonic Jet, iPad, 3D Cinema, High-Yield Corn crops, anti-lock brakes, Space shuttles, Doppler radar, streaming video, earthquake prediction, Blu-Ray, cure for rickets, radiation-therapy, LASIK surgery.
Just a couple innovative things off the top of my head that were invented by people who learned their skills in the classroom, not from instructional youtube clips.

I skipped class a lot. I would go to the bathroom a lot during an hour I didn't like and take a dump (I trained myself to take a dump that hour).
So it was all the school's fault?
When did I say it was all the schools fault? But their methods forced me into isolation in the bathroom during classes I didn't want to go to.
