Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned  

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I mean, really. Part of the deal with being a filmmaker, or any artist, is that once something is released, you have to deal with it. You don't GET an infinite number of do-overs.

I'm not replacing anyone, CGI or no.

I apologize for inferring that you would take part in such nefarious deeds.

Heh. Tell it Wordsworth, bay-bee. (Who made an inferior edit of his major life's work several years after his prime.)

Thanks! Actually, they're digitally adding me into the Ewok chorus.

If I only had a brain...

In my head, DV is ALWAYS James Earl Jones. Always always always, and to hell with genetics.

Was Lucas' favorite author Thomas DeQuincey? It would explain quite a bit. To remake your strongest work poorly, many years after a creative dry spell can't be that common. Can it?

Which is creepy during The Lion King, and downright funny during Coming to America.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Funnier still is trying to imagine Eddie Murphy playing Luke Skywalker.

I was never able to buy Murphy as Jones' son in the first place, so no dice there.
