You don't GET an infinite number of do-overs.
Heh. Tell it Wordsworth, bay-bee. (Who made an inferior edit of his major life's work several years after his prime.)

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.

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

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.

Murphy was the runt of the litter.

The only good thing I can think of to say about the Star Wars re-work is that Chewie Finally Gets a Damn Medal.
Otherwise, I'm boggled as to why Lucas thought it made more sense to make two new movies that don't match the canon of the existing movies and then redact the existing movies even though the entire population of the world has already seen them at least once, than to make the two new movies fit the story as already told.
It's like he works at my office or something.

Art Crawl!!!
I saw the more Bettany based ad for Wimbledon and it was a thing of beauty and makes me want to see the movie even more.
