Spielberg just asked us if we would be upset if the ET Blu-ray only had the 1982 version. After our loud "No!", he said, "So be it!"

EricIGN tweeted:

Spielberg also said George Lucas is a great person, who gave us Star Wars and Indiana Jones and Star Wars is his to change if he wants

EricIGN tweeted:

End all be all: these two old friends (Spielberg/Lucas) have differing philosophies on changing their movies. I'd love to overhear debates!

Topic: What was the "fatal flaw" of the Prequels if you think they sucked? (aka. Let's take a break from hating on the blu-rays)

Lack of reasonable consequences to the characters and, environment. When I made this post recently about comparing Power Rangers to the Prequels I commented on the consequences. RLM also touched on that in his ROTS review. I got to thinking that's basically 90% of the problem. Virtually no consequence given to Anakin confessing to being a mass murderer to a Senator/Ex-Queen. No consequence given to Dooku telling Obi Wan basically all the important stuff. No reasonable consequence to a non-force user, just regular 5 foot + tall woman, getting the claws of a 20 foot long animal in her back and, later falling from a FLYING VEHICLE WHILE STILL INJURED FROM HAVING CLAWS IN HER BACK WHERE THE SPINE IS!!!!!! Oh yeah same superwoman dies of an emotionally broken heart... Geeze if he so wanted to show midriff so bad should've changed things like:

CGI Bug guard starts ripping PADME'S clothes off. ANAKIN sees this.

ANAKIN: Stop this!

ANAKIN starts fighting the bug guards again. While PADME resists the clothes being taken away. The bug guard rips her shirt revealing midriff. Just then, JANGO FETT enters putting a gun to ANAKIN'S neck. DOOKU enters right behind him.

DOOKU: (says something in Alien language calms the bugs down) (turns his attention to PADME) My greatest apologies Quee- Wait, I'm sorry once again Senator.

PADME: How about pulling that Foreign tongue magic trick again and, telling the guards to let us go?

DOOKU: I don't have that kind of power. I'm answerable to :

Speaking of which, I must be going. I wouldn't want to end up where you two are headed.

ANAKIN bruised from the scuffle with the bug guards is allowed to get closer to PADME before being forced out into the ARENA. While JANGO FETT and, DOOKU take their leave.

ANAKIN: I failed you. I'm sorry. I should've never brought you here. If we make it out of here and, you never want to see me again I understand.

PADME: I asked to be here. Not this (points to the bug guards) but, I wanted to save Obi wan just as much as you did. We came to this planet together and, we're going to leave together.

ANAKIN: You really mean that?

PADME cuts through trying to say anything in response and, just gives ANAKIN a kiss.

(I'm tired, forgot the main baddies name in AOTC. Pic substitute used instead... "Bug guard" substituted for "Geonosian guard" just 'cause....)

I don't know, something like that^.... Sorry kind of turned into rewriting the prequels... Um, yeah. Short answer "consequences"...

Yes once again folks the billionaire to poor to afford an oot restoration, too poor to afford a live action tv series, and now too poor for the 3-D conversions of star wars 1-6. Cry me a freakin river Luca$

Yet there's an easy way he could make a shit load of money, yet he just won't do it.

Because that'd be the last purchase for many people. Lucas keeps people in hopeful suspense while selling them crap they don't want/need. He preserves a larger consumer base by this.

Honestly if he never started this subjugation of the Original versions of the trilogy I'de have bought lots more Star Wars stuff. I'de have bought the novelizations of the prequels. I'de be buying up action figures. I'de be buying up tons of merch. I'de probably have an entire room full of Star Wars stuff right now. The only reason that I haven't spent that much money on Star Wars is because, his repression of the originals leave a distaste on spending money on Star Wars stuff for me. Really he created the "last SW purchase for many" situation thingy himself.

Beyond that though, never was much interested in the 3D conversions... of any film. If it's not filmed with a 3D camera I don't care.

If "tripled" from Misfits isn't naughty enough for you

Someone missed the ALL-CAPS part of the thread title.

That highly depends on your perception of the words "slightly naughty". For instance should I say "tripled" in a public setting or, even a family gathering. Chances are likely no offence would be taken due to them not having seen "Misfits". So it is therefore slightly naughty as I would be the only one in the room knowing to what I'm referring towards. I cite the "Friends" episode wherein the fictional character Ross Gellar created his own form of sign language and, a new motion of two arms hitting eachother was the way he would "give the finger. Without actually giving the finger." His friends just looked at him weirdly until the aforesaid explanation was given towards it's meaning. It is essentially a rather cowardly way of being "naughty" though as it's a way of not truly owning the consequences of your words. Trying to slip under the radar of the perception of those around you. Also attempting to maintain a good social standing without letting them know you just thought of something perceptually crass or, "immature". It also could be indicative of slight fear of being thought of a less intelligent individual due to the lack of social acceptance of such talk in so-called "formal" situations.

(LOL, Seriously though, I was suffering from lack of sleep in my previous posting to this thread... You're probably right Frink. :-) )

LOL :)
