Or else he changed all of Jar-Jar's dialog to nothing but profanity.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It is apparently accepted as Star Wars canon that the Rebel Alliance was in its beginning stages in Episode IV. Lucas reportedly decided against creating the Alliance in Episode III for that reason
Oh NOW he gives a fig about continuity?
Good call t golf claps your super hero space princess has turned into a whiner who brushes curly hair.
I mostly enjoyed it. I've forgiven Lucas a lot -- now it's more like he felt-up my childhood memories. But I can see why Portman might be pissy.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they seem to be limiting it to one movie per director. It's interesting that they chose The Purple Rose of Cairo, Yojimbo and Dr. Strangelove as their picks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They said something about having two Billy Wilder movies on there.
Edit: And there were definitely two Kurosawa movies on there. Yojimbo and Ikiru.

If I only had a brain...
Stoppard is a script doctor. He does it for money, as do several other established writers. Carrie Fisher is one of the most sought-after script doctors in Hollywood.

That used to be Joss' big gig too.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Script doctoring is how John Sayles has been able to stay independent, so one can't complain that the job exists.
I remember Joss saying, though, that he was usually brought in way too late, to add jokes and transitions to a script with a chasm of absent logic in the middle.
