MSNBC - Can Star Wars: Episode III be saved?
by Acidus at 12:48 pm EDT, May 20, 2004 |
] Carrie Fisher, Princess Leia in the original trilogy, has
] said that "When George was directing, he'd only say
] two things: 'faster' or 'more intense.'" Fire Lucas
] as director, who has no sense of control over his
] storyline, encourages flat and affectless acting, and
] shellacs every scene with such a frenzy of special
] effects that they assault your senses like a strobe
] light. Amen brother. That "running through the fields love montage" in Episode II was of 1pm-on-a-Sunday-TBS-made-for-TV shit. Lucas is sinking some of my favorite childhood memories with the crap he's been filming. I have a feeling I'm only going to show my kids Starwars 4-6, and any kids at school who tell them there are 3 more Starwars movies are just lying like the time they said Santa wasn't real. |

By writing and directing this mindboggling schlock, while still raking in TONS O CASH on each release, he's sending the message loud and clear: I don't need you to tell me how to make money. Unfortunetly, I think he thinks he's saying "I don't need you to tell me how to create art." The two are not the same. |

[ I had a longer post written, but went to another site, which had a popup, which cleared the meme rec. window. I'll summarize : 1. Fuck george lucas. he can take star wars with him to the special little minihell where vision-less directors go.
2. he'll never reliquish control, so no, Ep III cannot be saved... it will suck at least as much as 1 and 2, and probably more. I can only hope that this one has no real actors at all... go whole hog and have the CG do the bad acting, and recite the wooden dialogue.
3. You'll note, Ep IV was the suckiest of the original 3, and it's the only one Lucas directed. Irvin Kershner represents on Empire and Marquand is sufficient with Jedi. Nuff said. -k] |
There is a redundant post from BridgetAG not displayed in this view.
