Things I hate: when you're at work and you're waiting for someone else to give you some documents, or for some process to execute, or for something else, and you cannot do anything and have nothing to do, even though you should be working on something, but you can't... it's so frustrating...

Ian McDiarmid MIGHT get a nomination, but that's very unlikely.

I do belive ROTS will get some technical awards, like visual effects, make-up and costumes...

For the OT, I chose the Tie Fighter humming sound.

For the PT, I chose the sismic charges from AOTC.

The PTs sucked, but... AOTC has probably the best sound I'll ever hear in a movie theater, the sound for that movie was absolutely awesome...

Has anyone seen "Good night and good luck"? That sounded like a good film. I wanted to see it, but it was released in a VERY limited release here (one movie screen, for a single night). From what I've read, expect this one to be at the academy awards.

Now, this might sound weird, but there are only 3 movies I've seen that were made in 2005: ROTS, Batman Begins and War of the Worlds. All of them were bad. I almost don't watch movies or TV anymore.

Of course, if we're talking bad movies, the list wouldn't be complete without Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Yes, I have seen Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (the MST3K version). It's a terrible film.

I have seen Plan 9 and I must say it's not as bad as "Manos: the Hands of Fate", and is absolutely an Orson Welles masterpiece if compared with the two worse movies ever made: "Monster a-go-go", and "Os Trapalhoes nas Guerra dos Planetas" aka "Brazillian Star Wars". These two are literally unwatchable.

Though I'm afraid if I let you sing, you'll come off with a loud verse of that song "George Lucas Raped My Childhood."

Boy bands don't have drummers. They have a drum machine, a sampler, a synthesiser and 4 or 5 singers/dancers.

And, of course, you would record part of the vocals (the tough parts would be recorded by studio singers and mixed), with vocoders and voice treatments, and have three versions: the album version, a version to be lip-synched in live shows, and a version to be lip synched in TV shows.

I like this article, I think it's quite fair and balanced, showing up the real reasons for the controversy. I just wish someone from Lucasfilm would read it and reply it, so we can see both sides. Unfortunally, like the chinese government dosen't acknoledges rebels, discidents or a free Tibeth, they don't belive there are Lucas bashers.

They don't want you to learn anything because they're Communists

Yeah...

Hey, Chaltab, do you study in China? Do you have to read the red book by comrade Mao every day?

Now that's stupid. Can't you just make a list of educational sites you wish they didn't block, and give it to the net administrator, so he unblocks it? Most places that have those web access tules usually allow you access to some website if you justify its use.

Some stuff that is known to have survived:

* One spacesuit complete with helmet.
* The fetus model used for the star child.
* The flying pen.

By trying to make that character belivable, even though GL tried to write it as unbeliveable as possible. Also, he kept it not too over-the-top.

From TPM, pretty much the ALL the lines from the ENTIRE shooting script, but I could point out some that hurted me:

Jar Jar: Meessa give up. Meessa give up.

Anakin: Are you an angel? (Awww the PAIN!)

AOTC:

The whole sand speech.

The whole fireplace speech.

The whole "I killed sandpeople like aaaanimals" speech.

ROTS:

Palpatine: No... No, No!! You're gonna die!! (or something like that)

Palpatine: POWER! UNLIMITED POWER! (although Ian McDiarmid did what he could to improve that scene)

Vader: NOOOOOOOooOOOOooOOO!!!

Anakin: What have I dooone?

Palpatine: (a sentence that beings with...) Once more the... (... what was WRONG with his voice?!)

Yoda: Goodbye, Chewbacca. Miss you I will. (What?!)

He will release the O-OT only, and only if, God tells him in a dream. God will also ask him to kill some demons disguized as people.

I am absolutely sure, and I can tell because I have seen this happen before, that this guy did, like, 1 test every week, and when one of those had a negative result (because they are not 100% accurate), he assumed to be cured, and absolutely refuses to do more tests because he wants to live thinking he got cured, maybe as some sort of a self-imposed placebo. I am absolutely positive that this is the case.

ROTS. Sort of like it. Even though it's crap.

And, of course, every movie that was on MST3K.

Yes, I gotta say the village people did some neat songs. If you, you know, ignore what was behind them.

I also like ABBA. And, of course, the one I'm proudest (or more embarassed of), Electric Light Orchestra - yes, even with the Xanadu soundtrack.

Oh, there are lots of stills photos of the missing scenes, including some stills we have no idea of what scene that would be (like one showing Dave and Frank in b&w, showing their futuristic wrist watches). But the cut scenes are pretty much lost. I bet Kubrick even take measures to make sure they kept lost, I mean, he BURNED all the stage and 99% of the props so they wouldn't be used by anyone else or sold by fans (only some stuff like those red chairs and a helmet are still around).
