Haha Harry is getting pwned.
It was hard to tell from Harry's general comments whether his source was authentic or not. But if Lindelof says it's 100% not true, you just have to admit it and move on.
I can't believe this is out in 2 months. I really hope this movie delivers. After it comes out it'll be a long 6-7 weeks until The Dark Knight Rises.
^ I thought he was fired after nearly allowing a nuclear meltdown to occur.
Script review/thoughts from Harry at AICN. Mild spoilers but nothing you can't really discern from the trailers. In short, Harry loves it and can't wait.

That's odd, I don't remember starting my own thread.

And this is why anybody - anybody but Lucas - should have written the PT.
Fixed. I'm not being facetious. By anybody, I mean anybody who is a qualified writer and knows the lore of SW.

I still couldn't help but get the feeling all of the reviewers complaints boiled down to, "He's being so meeeean to Lucas, so I can't like this."
I wouldn't expect anything different from IGN.
IMO the first 5 seasons of SP are the best. 6-9 are great, too, but eventually the show became too topical. Nowadays it's hit or miss with most episodes providing good laughs but not as consistently funny as the first seasons.

You guys sometimes get riled over the most pointless things. So it's incredibly stupid - big deal. It's just a goddamn video game. It's not like this is being inserted into the movies and made canon.
DON'T GIVE GEORGE MOAR IDEAS!!!!!!!!
Damn, looks like a couple months worth of data are gone.
I had improved my seeding ratio big time in the last couple of weeks, but now it's back to what it was before.
Hope things are okay over there.
Started Homeland. 3 episodes in, very interesting.

Why I laugh.
Coming to blu-ray this fall! I honestly can't believe it. I guess all the fans asking for it and petitioning really did make an impression.

I liked Red Letter Media's commentary on this, showing Yoda in ESB talking about the Force intercut with various scenes from the prequels:

Grave of the Fireflies (1988)

Yes, it's quite powerful. When I first watched that movie about a year ago I was teary eyed 15 minutes in and pretty much weeping for the last 30 minutes and quite awhile after the credits finished. I was depressed some days afterward, too, and I often have the beautifully melancholy score in my head.
Just like captainsolo said, GOTF is haunting and utterly unforgettable... in a good way. It's a movie that I feel more people need to see when they are old enough or mature enough to really be affected by it. To be devastated by the movie but also invigorated by it's anti-war message. The movie is not political. It shows that the greatest tragedy of war is the loss of innocence and the irreparable damage to the framework of our society.
War is a result of the inability to resolve political or ideological differences without violence. It represents the complete and utter failure of society to protect the innocent, represented mostly by children.
On a side note the movie is semi-biographical, based on the memoirs of a Japanese man who had a similar experience as Seita during WW2.

I haven't had a chance to read a book in a couple of months. My next item on the queue is "A Clash of Kings" and then I'll be able to watch season 2 of Game of Thrones.

Yes, there's still entirely too much money to be made.
The prequels jaded some older SW fans, but many of them still follow SW in its current incarnations and support the franchise financially.
Combine them with the younger generations that started with the prequels and you could potentially have some major, major profits.
Plus, anyone who doesn't think much of Lucas would probably be eager to see a SW live action vision from another writer/director.
I saw this article at AICN. There's nothing too interesting here, but I thought the video was kind of funny.

"I'm retired." Hehe. Right...
I still think that in maybe 5-6 years Lucas will seriously consider producing a new SW trilogy but hire others to write/direct.

Not a Miyazaki film, but Grave of the Fireflies is maybe the best animated film I've ever seen, and one of the most powerful films in general. It's a movie I think about often. The music and images just stay with you.
Has anyone else seen Grave of the Fireflies?
