King George Lucas hates Spiderman 3

George Lucas is still an ass…

http://www.tmz.com/2007/05/09/britneys-rehab-boy-trashed-by-k-fed/

Okay, so Spiderman 3 isn’t the greatest movie in the world, but it is still better than most of the mess Mr. Lucas has made over the years. I’d love to see what Lucas would do with the franchise. A CGI MJ? Spiderman using the force?

(("Spider-Man 3," Lucas said, "It's silly. It's a silly movie," he tells Fox News. "There just isn't much there. Once you take it all apart, there's not much story, is there?))

And, Jar-Jar is a complex character, George? It’s easy to take pot shots at someone else’s movie, but let’s look at a few of Lucas’s complex movies.

The Ewok Adventure: He loved the Ewok’s so much that he made two movies and a damn cartoon about them. Cashing in much, Lucas?

Howard the Duck: A talking duck comes into this world, there’s not much else to say. Well, Lea Thompson was cute in the movie…

Willow: George Lucas’ take on Lord of the Rings with that Ewok guy and that guy from Batman Forever.

Let's not forget that Lucas hated Empire Strikes Back...

HERETIC! Ok i'm all for bringing down the dark overlord Lucas - but come on! Willow? Willow is awesomeness to the 100th power!

Howard the Duck is a cheesy idea that was executed really well. Lea Thompson kicked alot of butt in that flick.

Ewok Adventures... well Lucas was totally in it for just the cash but I love Ewoks so the cute factor sold me on these movies.

I can't beleive i actually disagree with almost all of this post.

lol, I've taken a lot of flack from my friends that love Willow. There's something about that movie that hasn't aged well. Plus, I hate when everyone becomes pigs (am I remembering that correctly?) in the movie.

To be fair, Willow has a strong cult following, which includes my friends too.

Howard the Duck: Man, I love that theme song at the end Lea sings "They call him Howard the Duck!..."

I am a Willow fan as well though my love of the movie isn't as strong as when I was a kid.

That's the way I feel about Krull or beast master. Now, watching them today, they dont hold up as well.

Krull didn't hold well and Beastmaster is good if your really in the mood to let go and focus on the flick only. Like lazy Sunday afternoons.

I love Willow err Professor Flitwick err Whatever his name is.
I think it holds up. I was going to say i can see how someone wouldn't like it but I dont.
I do however respect that your tastes do not include Willow.
That's too bad.
I bet you hate "Hook",
"War Games",
and "Labyrinth" too?

Hook: I've never seen the movie all the way through. from what I've seen, I don't think Steven S should have gotten the bashing he received for that film.

War Games: I grew up on this movie. This was one of the reasons 80s movies rule.

Labyrinth: Jennifer Connelly and her thick eyebrows=hot. Plus David Bowie with a spiked mullet, and the wonderful work of Jim Henson made this movie a weird but fun classic.

Note: I went over to a guy’s apartment and there were about six guys in there getting very high and drunk while watching this movie. And they were into it.

Labyrinth is my all time favorite movie and has been since i was 9 years old. it's sacred to me. I mean how do you beat evil-ish Muppets, plus songs?

As a Tradition going on 20 years this Month, I always watch Labyrinth for my Birthday without fail.

That troll creature was always freaky .

Bowie makes fun of himself in The Venture Bros season 2 finale, where they mention Labyrinth. If you ever get a chance check it out

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

a U of L cheerleader gets into a little bit of trouble...

Image
The Internet can be a dangerous place, and things that you did with that camera can come back to ruin your life. A very attractive University of Louisville cheerleader by the name of Becca Manns took some pictures of herself naked and also having sex with a dude. Either her memory stick or camera was stolen, and the theft uploaded the graphic photos onto the World Wide Web. That was when the shit hit the fan (Louisville Fan). She ended up having to leave the program and probably school. (I am currently enrolled in UofL as well, but you won't find any photos of me.) I sort of feel sorry for her because she did one crazy thing, and now it has ruined her life. However, I have to say this to her: You were given a chance to do something many people would never get a chance to do, go to an University. You have to learn fairly quickly that every action good or bad has consequences. Exposing yourself probably wasn't good for your career or your life. (James steps off his ...

Bernie Mac RIP

Bernie Mac is Dead A bit of upsetting news... ((CHICAGO (AP) — Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50. )) I remember watching him on Def Comedy Jam , where he really broke out. If you get a chance, check out some of his earlier work on that show. I think he was able to really shine in some of the roles he took in his movie career. He seemed to always play the creepy guy that wore bad clothes and talk in strange patterns. Friday : He was great in this limited role. He played Pastor Clever, the horny Pastor. Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood : He played the self-racist cop. What a great moment. Get on the Bus : Another good role, but limited. Ocean's Eleven : He had a few moments to shine in this role, plus third film too. Bad Santa : Very ...
