Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Yep.
Did you know that Lucas considers that to be the worst of the Star Wars movies?
May Lucas rot in a hell filled with Jar-Jar clones.
OK, maybe that's a bit harsh....

Ewoks, then.
ETA Harrison Ford had a classic quote during the shooting of Star Wars - "You can type this shit, George, but you sure can't say it."

Ann, that's a ferret.
And I just saw it attributed to Raymond Chandler.
I recently saw The Blue Dahlia, which Chandler wrote as an original script. Studio came close to ruining it by tacking on a new ending at the last minute.

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

Xpost: That's the only Chandler-penned screenplay out there, too. Usually other writers adapted his work for the movies.
That AV Club article is wonderful, too. I'm surprised they didn't get Kiss Me Deadly on there, though, mainly because I love to see Mickey Spillane get what's coming to him.

He also had a hand in Strangers on a Train, though I've heard his credit counts for more than what eventually ended up in the final film.

Because books.
Great link, Tom. The Alan Moore clip was really interesting -- I had never seen him interviewed.

The Blue Dahlia's going to be on TCM in the next two weeks. For your consideration, here's my final Set Your DVR! column for the Screengrab, which is shuttering its doors at the end of the week: [link]
