Thursday, April 17, 2008 at 10:42 AM I'll never understand why people single out The Empire Strikes Back. All three are beautiful. It's like singling out an eyeball on a beautiful face. That would be werid, even if it was someone like Kate Bosworth. I don't particularly dig her, by the way. It's crucial that I let everyone know that. She's not sexually attractive to me! Young Americans was a terrible television show and its cancelling would be cause for celebration if industrialized media was not a never-ending soul vulture domino cascade!!! Oh yes, I used three exclamation marks. Fuck off.
Some art I love I don't glut on, not because I'm afraid of tiring of it, but because it's too precious, too delicate, too painful. I guess that's kind of the same thing, and also entirely irrelevant to the interests of absolutely everyone on this planet outside the fields of behavioural science and telemarketing. Bleh. —MajandraFan |

Thursday, April 17, 2008 at 12:06 PM All three are beautiful. No they aren't Episode 4 drags drags drags. I'd give the opening sequence of Jedi an A+++--it's my favorite 30 minutes or so in the series, but the Ewoks annoy me. Empire is the first one with any really cool Jedi shit, we meet Lando, probably the best saber fight in the series....I could go on but that's about enough. —bguirk |

Thursday, April 17, 2008 at 12:13 PM Empire is the first one with any really cool Jedi shit, we meet Lando, probably the best saber fight in the series... All true and all the bouty hunters to boot. It also has the best cinematography and acting of the series. I wish they could have brought Kerhsner back to do all of them after Empire. I do, however, love the original Star Wars (er, A New Hope). I don't think it drags at all. You want dragging, sit through Phantom Menace. —Beat It! |

Thursday, April 17, 2008 at 12:24 PM There are a bunch of great iconic action sequences in IV but what's in between them is mostly wooden acting supporting a meh plot. I would never call it a bad movie, but in comparison to the Empire it pales.

Im sure if I had seen it when i was a kid, I would really like it now.

Though I believe that is the Creature From The Black Lagoon lurking over his shoulder. I remember watching that when it aired. I remember hating myself after. Now The Star Wars Holiday Special on the other hand has always been unfairly maligned. Christmas (er, I mean Life Day) with the Wookies and a Boba Fett cartoon?

Friday, April 18, 2008 at 8:05 PM Does anyone care about spoilers for Ewoks movies? Battle For Endor was horrifying. Not only do they kill off all the family except for Sindel in the first ten minutes, but then the rest of the movie is some badged mediaeval fantasy movie. Castles and knights and stuff? What the fuck? I mean, I loved Caravan of Courage. I always found it a bit corny but it's sweet too. I still think so. We got it on DVD and the long wondered about Battle For Endor was on the same disc. I can't imagine they'd be able to sell it otherwise.
So one night I watch the first few minutes, and it blows me away because I'm so tired. These characters I've known since I was ten all get killed (they're back, awww - they're dead!!! oh my god!) so I go to bed, wanting to see it later.
Later.
My brother, friend and I endure the torture the way we do all bad movies, by riffing on it. That fucking little creature Teek, I'm sure it was only in the film because it was Steven Spielberg's son. Nepotism. It was funny at the time. Anyway. I say that Caravan of Courage is a better movie than any of the three new Star Wars sequels that came out recently. It's got better acting (except for Liam Neeson), it's truer to the Star Wars universe, it's more fun and dramatic and sad. Anyone who puts the new movies on par with the old ones is in denial. I really hate that the Star Wars movies are only available on DVD as a director's cut. The most popular movies ever and you can't get them. What the fuck is that? —MajandraFan |

Friday, April 18, 2008 at 8:43 PM Are you guys talking about how they released the laserdisc copies on dvd after everyone was pirating them on the internet, since laserdisc originals are better than dvd director's cuts?
The whole reason I want them on DVD is so I can watch them on a big screen. The laserdiscs look only a bit better than our videotape copies.
There aren't any dvd copies of the original Star Wars movies available. —MajandraFan |

I don't think anyone should be expected to help their former communities after they've achieved success. If they want to, that's cool but it shouldn't be a negative if they don't. It's usually a bunch of people looking for a hand out. Lucas earned his cash, he shouldn't have to fund everyone else who can't get it going on their own. —Beat It! |

You know, a few years ago people thought a pre-digitized DVD release was about as likely as a new SW trilogy. You have to give GL credit for that. But you don't have to give him credit for wearing a "Han Shot First" tee-shirt in public. That's just wrong in so many ways. —TortillaFactory |
