Lucas's argument that the Star Wars movies are for kids gets him so far. As a kid, I had no problem with the Ewoks, whereas once I grew up, I understood why everyone else hated them. And then I liked introducing my kids to a new trilogy, but there was Jar Jar and midichlorians and the virgin birth and the fart jokes and the wooden acting and the cheesy dialogue and the two-headed race announcer and every time a new character appeared or had his name said, there was a pause for the audience to applaud...
I remember Terence Stamp saying he agreed to do the movie so he could act with Natalie Portman but she wasn't on set that day, so he had to act off a broomstick.
But this is what Lucas has become and has been for a long time. This is the guy who fought for years and years to have Indiana Jones fight aliens. My personal wish is that he'd let someone else independently do their own trilogy at some other corner of his galaxy and just use ILM for the effects and such.
Aaron Aradillas on "The Phantom Menace" in 3D
My friend Aaron Aradillas wrote the below piece for another website, but due to an editorial mixup, it could not run there. That site's loss is SCR's gain, though, as Aaron generously offered it to this blog. His piece begins below the film still. Back in 1997, when the first STAR WARS movi...
Refn just beat up all of Jack Palance's children.
Is there anything Nicolas Winding Refn CAN'T do?
I'm decidedly mixed on Drive, for reasons I articulate in my upcoming review for MSN Movies, and as such I'm a little more impatient than I'd normally be with the utterly breathless and increasingly relentless unwarranted dribbling over the film and its admittedly talented director Nicolas Windi...
Taram Killam had Les Jeunes de Paris, which is pretty funny. They need Fred Armisen to leave so Jay Pharaoh can take over Barack Obama. If Wiig leaves this summer, Lorne should hire back Michaela Watkins. Seems like Kenan Thompson has about run his course. Seth Meyers too. Maybe replace Seth with Demitri Martin.
Is it time for Kristen Wiig to leave 'SNL'?
This month will probably mark a career pinnacle for Kristen Wiig, who closed out her sixth season as a featured performer on "Saturday Night Live" and received rave reviews at the box office for her star turn in "Bridesmaids." Which may make the following bit of advice for Wiig seem somewhat ...
You know what's unforgiveable to me? When Premiere left print, instead of refunding the remainder of my money, they sent me some US Weekly's. Because if I like movies, I must like gossip about The Hills and paparazzi pictures. Same thing, right?
As Iggy Pop said in the lead-in to "Louie, Louie" on "Metallic K.O.," "I never thought it's come to this, baby!"
I am sitting in the Burger King on 42nd Street off Eighth Avenue, across the street from the Port Authority, availing myself of the venue's convenient Internet service. Let me tell you, this keyboard is grimy. I am the only one in the store wearing a suit. I've been in Manhattan all day on busin...
