"The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo [who seemed to be the one who shot first in the original] to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn’t. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what to whom. I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo is the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down." - George Lucas

Just read the article... I love star wars i really do... Im even excited for Phantom Menace, but godamn George Lucas is a bonafide idiot
Oh Lucas. So adorable when he thinks he knows what people want.
@Cochise: Stop.
I sincerely think this is the 4th day in a row that Showtime has aired Knowing.
Yeah, but to be fair the only reason they do that is because they really don't get too many good movies. Usually HBO, Starz and now Epix get all the best movies leaving Showtime with nothing more table scraps (so to speak) and the occasional good movie.
Padme macking on a kid was uncomfortable. No thanks on watching this again.
@JohnLocke to be fair, maybe the planet core allows you a direct path to anywhere on the planet, not just straight through?
I literally don't remember this movie and I've seen it twice. I even wrote about it: http://www.moviefancentral.com/htx0811/blogs/the-phantom-menace:-the-most-forgettable-movie-in-my-movie-viewing-experience
I don't think I'll get fired at work for recreating scenes from Temple of Doom in the moving-archive room but next time I should think twice before referring to the asian girl in the office as Short-Round.
just call her Shorty and you might be able to fly under the radar with that reference.
Also, you are epic.
Why I Love Movies
(I got this idea from Film Crit Hulk)
Because they tell us something
Because they take us somewhere
Because they show us who we are
Because they show us who we want to be
Because they only get better
Because forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown
Because we have a T-Rex
Because you don’t talk about Fight Club
Because he’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a dark knight
Because I am Iron Man
Because male nudity is fucking hilarious sometimes
Because The Artist was a movie I really needed to see that day
Because of nacho’s
Because of ticket stubs
Because if you look up at just the right moment, you can see the projector beams shining against the screen
Because of Star Wars
Because of John Williams
Because if you sit back far enough, you can hear the projector flicker
Because I live for the sound of a reel spinning in a film camera
Because Amelie scored me my first kiss
Because after War of the Worlds, my friends and I all needed a cigarette
Because I can’t not play the Close Encounters theme whenever I’m near a xylophone
Because I would marry Cher Horowitz
Because June lied about not loving Johnny
Because Buster Keaton made my too-cool-for-school roommate laugh his ass off in passing
Because they just get me
Because I just get them
Because there’s nothing else on this Earth that I would rather invest my entire being into creating
Because I spent my first lunch break at my first job in LA outside the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. I didn’t even eat, I just marveled.
Because Lex wouldn’t turn the light off
Because E.T. will be right here
Because Freddy Krueger is god
Because Akira Kurosawa painted his storyboards on giant canvases
Because Akira Kurosawa hand-wrote the entire script to Seven Samurai
Because Ripley went back for Newt
Because of the even-numbered Star Trek movies
Because Alice jumped
Because Gerard Depardieu starred in like 500 films
Because Citizen Kane is the most beautiful middle finger to one of history’s biggest assholes
Because It’s A Beautiful Life will grip anyone’s heart
Because my ultra-conservative-right-wing-evangelical-christian mother thinks Phantom of the Opera is dark and sexy
Because it’s okay, I’m a leaf on the wind.
Because Katherine Hepburn is a comic-fucking-genius in Bringing Up Baby
Because of Merryl Streep
Because of Kate Winslet
Because of Michelle Williams
Because of Jennifer Connelly
Because of Mila Kunis
Because of Jack Nicholson
Because of John Cusack
Because of Daniel Day Lewis
Because of Leonardo DiCaprio
Because of cigarette burns
Because WALL-E and EVE's relationship is the most believable romance I've ever seen portrayed on screen
Because the relationship in Blue Valentine reconfirms my crippling fear of commitment
Because of Holden McNeal's speech to Alyssa Jones
Because Indiana Jones hates snakes
Because Rick O'Connell will yell back at a Mummy and shoot his ass with a shotgun
Because Jack Sparrow's compass is broken
Because Noah Cross is the most evil motherfucker ever
Because Hannibal Lecter still gives me nightmares
Because JAWS makes me very suspicious of shadows in the ocean
Because of Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard
Because Jenny is Forrest's girl.
Because Scream gave me an archetype to relate to in movies
Because...I'm not alone.
Chillin'Avengers. Yes.
Return of the Jedi still bothers me. On one hand, I fucking hate the Ewoks because they're like the beginning of the end of Star Wars, what with defeating the Empire with their adorableness...but then again they were going to eat everyone, so that's kind of badass. Also, wtf Han. "YOU LIKE LUKE MORE THAN ME WAAAH" stfu you're Han fucking Solo.
Blue Valentine's on. This is how you end a day.
I really do love As Good As It Gets.
“A hipster to me is someone who kind of dresses up like an artist, but they don’t actually make anything. So all of y’all people who call me a hipster can go fuck yourselves because I make shit all the goddamn time. People are like, ‘You wear skinny jeans.’ These are 501s, man! Fucking straight.” - Joseph Gordon Levitt
ive never thought of JGL as a hipster and I hate hipsters. Hipster is more than just skinny jeans.
conversations with friends
Friend: OH MY GOD JP I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN YEEEEARS
Me: It's been a while yes.
Friend: We have to talk about movies, I'm sure you've seen them all, what'd you think of Girl With The Dragon Tattoo?
Me: Didn't see it...
Friend: Oh, what about Sherlock Holmes 2?
Me: Nope...
Friend: Adventures of Tin Tin?
Me: Nada.
Friend: Tree of Life?
Me: No ma'am.
Friend: War Horse?
Me: Negatory good buddy.
Friend: Mission Impossible?
Me: Naw.
Friend: Okay you had to have seen Hugo.
Me: You'd think that wouldn't you.
Friend: HOW HAVE I SEEN MORE MOVIES THAN YOU
Me: I HAD A BAD YEAR
Chillin'You know what I'm actually still really mad at you about that Gene Hackman comment on your Drive blog.


















Is Leia a "coldblooded killer" then? Jabba wasn't exactly threatening to kill her when she suddenly bum-rushed his fat ass and strangle him to death. I wonder if Lucas will eventually catch that part and figure out a way for Jabba to "strangle first"?
