with all due respect, my emperor. You must remain strong. If your fiance buys them for you, refuse the gift and tell her to return them. I have already told my family not to get them for me.

An article of lies and disgust - George Lucas talks re the 2004 OT SE DVD release...

But the greatest scene of the OT comes in Empire:


Vader:

"Obiwan never told you what happened to your father?"

Luke:

"He told me enough! He told me you killed him!"

Vader:

"No! I am your father!"
(play John Williams score here)

Luke:

"no,NO!! that's not true!! thats impossible!!"

Vader:

"search your feelings you know it to be true!"

Luke:

"NO!! NO!!!!!!"

one of the great all time movie plot twists

And please keep in mind just because somthing is straight-foward does not mean it is not a great movie or a great piece art.

great straight-foward movies:

Casablanca
Godfather
Spactacus
12 Angry Men
The OT


great straight-foward works of art

Mona Lisa
The Last Supper
The Frescos of the Sistine Chapel
The Statue of David


now, this is not to criticize 2001, I'm just trying to say that you need not make a piece or art abstact,open ended, and/or ambigous to make it great.

abstract painting as well can, to some people just look like a convoluted mess and again, they will take away little or no meaning. How many times has it been decribed as "finger painting"? (not that I agree with that)

now I'm even more mad at Lucas. Lucas says he is sorry if we fell in love a half done trilogy. How bout returning all the money we spent on it Lucas? I wonder what he would think if Moe, Larry and Curly came back to life and said that they originally meant to do the films in color, and refused to issue B+W versions on DVD? What a nut he is!!!

but how could Clarke not know? He wrote the thing! Are telling me he wrote somthing that he couldn't understand? That does not make sense (IMHO).
