You're not more savvy because you steal music.

Wow, just the worst…the absolute worst arrogance.

It doesn't even fit on my flash drive!

*Abrams furiously scribbles 'do better' onto his notepad*

We all know those would be retconned into trilogies if they'd been successful.

I do remember seeing those miniature rolling hills, rainy skies, and cute little houses and thinking 'so they just set this in New Zealand?'

Totally agree about the marketing department's job getting 10 times easier. I'm way excited for this film, but the Hobbit trailer harkened back to its predecessors more than the damn Phantom Menace preview.

LOTR has a personal feel to me. When you can still get your personal vision to shine through a CGI-heavy epic trilogy with the budget of an Arab sheik, color me impressed.

He's also a good counter-example to filmmakers who put what they like to call 'fun' into their films.

I'm reading that Lennon and Garant book about screenwriting. It paints a good picture of hacks like him and his ilk. Make no mistake, they're hacks, but now I'm seeing them less as out-of-touch goofs and more like reliable employees of a studio system. You know, a BUSINESS.

More like Jar Jar STINKS!!

STRANDS of DNA? FIVE percent of Alien? To me that looked like an ad for the straight-up prequel without any vague semi-connections.

You pay to see gorillas shit every time you go to the zoo.

How about, as a first trailer, they shoehorned in as many LOTR references to lure in the average moviegoer? That's all they were trying to accomplish.

DETECTIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!

Should've tried that B4.

And why is it. That in all those specials. The kids talk. Like this.

John K claimed original credit for something? He's usually so humble.

You infidelic, Pagan scum.

That's the odd thing about this show: Even the worst, most forgettable seasons still have one or two essential entries*.
