I like when he demonstrates the glitter marker: "It's brilliant!" while writing We have small penises on the picture of the awful boy band who's charting over him.

I thought it was, she gives him a hard time about ignoring the zombie bite and he indignantly retorts, "I held it under the tap!"

NOTHING about The Worricker Trilogy? That's, like, the best thing he's ever done. I'm shocked.

He'd be great at wandering around wiping down Formica tables, though.

No matter how many times I read that over the years, and no matter how many different ways it's spelled and punctuated, it never fails to make me laugh.

I'm trying to think of the best possible song he could have sung. "I Feel Pretty" is a strong candidate, as are "Daisy," "YMCA" and the Brady Bunch theme.

Sounds like quite a dream. Did you wake up screaming and shaking?

I wanted him to sing Pippin's song to Denethor from The Return of the King.

That's the other Death Star

Brilliant

Even better! "I hate this, but I must do it"

That's not possible. (And, the reason Episode II is Episode II is that it didn't have this kind of production with corrections and safety mechanisms; it just had one weird, aging man-child in charge whom nobody could say no to. This is much better.)

I enjoy picturing Lucas as a broken man, embittered, wandering the California beaches with a metal detector.

The general idea — that they had this horrifying plan that far back, and got away with it thanks to the ineptitude of the Jedi and the Senate — is great (and I love that line about "if they find out what we are planning to build"), but yeah; the whole this is awful. Like so many Prequel moments: you're like, Wait, this…

I know, I know! But Russell Crowe brought him in to re-do certain scenes, and the movie is so great…and I trust Peter Weir.

Agreed. We're on the same page.

I knew about the re-shoots but had no idea it was Gilroy. That's very encouraging; he's a great writer.

I didn't know that. Very interesting.

There's a prop — you see them hauling it around in some leaked stills.

She used to be great: The Professional, Heat, Beautiful Girls (where she's like a Salinger character). I think George Lucas ruined her completely.
