Instead, we may very well get Tetris with explosions sooner.
Dude, I don't remember where it was, but someone did make a movie poster to that effect. Might have been Something Awful, might have been somewhere else. But it was funny.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It could make a decent flick.
Not if Lucas were the one making it.
The principal appeal of Doom to me was watching Mike Nelson take on all challengers in 1996. In a convention full of 3,000 MST3K geeks, only one person was able to beat him.

And yet, he still paid to go see CORKY ROMANO. Go figure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I did not know this:
Wild actor Gary Oldman has pulled out of the next Star Wars movie because he refuses to work overseas illegally. The Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban star had agreed to be the voice of evil Jedi knight killer General Grievous in Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith, but quit the production because it was made outside the Screen Actor's Guild rules. Oldman's spokesman explains, "Gary was excited and looking forward to working on the film. The snag is that the movie is being made without members of the Screen Actor's Guild. It means Gary would have been working illegally overseas. Out of respect and solidarity with the other members, he could not and would not consider violating the rules of his union."

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I saw Robocop for the first time ever the other night. It wasn't bad. My favorite part were the commercials, particularly for the nuclear attack family board game.
Poor Paul McCrane can't cut a break, can he? Face melts off in Robocop, regenerates his cancer-needing freak self in gross ways on The X-Files, and is bested twice by a helicopter on ER.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That is one of our most-quoted movies, as "I'll buy THAT for a dollar" is suitable for almost any exclamatory need.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Meep!
Seconded. Yowza. Hoewever, I'm still curious exactly what they are going to be like. I mean, they can't do them like the book, but I really hope they aren't remotely like the ones in the first movie.
