What makes you think that something written in Starlog in 1982 wasn't tripe concocted by Lucas's minions?

Here's a similar "lost Chaplin" find
Here's a similar "lost Chaplin" find from last year:

And is it really rape if the so-called "victim" says it's OK after being paid off 20 years later? A group of Hollywood bigshots like David Lynch, Jonathan Demme, John Landis, Wim Wenders, and Harvey Weinstein thinks not. After all, this sort of "witch hunt" could happen to any one of them.

some trials
H. P. Lovecraft, "Pickman's Model" = David Foster Wallace
Harlan Ellison, "Repent Harlequin" = David Foster Wallace
William S. Burroughs, "Naked Lunch" = David Foster Wallace
Clark Ashton Smith, "The Invisible City" = H. P. Lovecraft
Fritz Leiber, "The Hound" = H. P. Lovecraft

Seriously O'Neal, are you getting kickbacks from these people? They can't have "exclusive rights" to something they don't own. Just get the damn recordings from YouTube and fuck RadarOnline.

So Sean O'Neal,
So Sean O'Neal, you seem to think it's wrong to use the term "wetback" but you have no problem using the term "scab." Hate language is bad unless it's leftist hate language?

"The End in the Beginning," Bones (2009): All a coma-induced dream. Thought I'd throw in something recent.

Anyway, thanks for pointing out "Little Nemo." I'd heard of this before, of course, but would have never checked it out if I hadn't read about it here. Fantastic strip. Love the turn-of-the-century visual style and attitudes and weirdness. Here's a couple more items:

stuff no one will ever read, alas
Once again the AV Club appears to have a tremendous bias towards recent works. Here's a histogram showing what years the works discussed in the article were made:

Not sure but this may be the full rant on youtube (33:07 minutes):

What happened to #20, or is this all some crazy dream?

it's happened before
There's a huge difference between saying "I had an idea for a story like Star Wars years before the movie was made" and "I pitched my idea for Star Wars *to* George Lucas years before the movie was made and he rejected my idea but later made the movie." Sounds like they've got a reasonable case…

no need
The original South Pacific is plenty "hard edged," but it's all in subtext. You need to be able to interpret what's going on and be sensitive to it. Modern audiences are morons so they need to be shown everything explicitly. About the only thing a "hard edged" remake will do is add gore. Of course, this…

Was all the rage back in 1986
Surprised Ridley Scott and Macdonald are so blatantly ripping off the "Day in the Life" series from the 80's. Only they're calling it "Life in a Day," so I guess that makes it something new.

The wikipedia entry on "Happy Birthday to You" tells the sad and bizarre story of how this song was published by two people in the 19th century, was widely sung for decades, and then was "copyrighted" by two completely different people in 1935. Time Warner now owns the fraudulent copyright and makes about $2 million…

You know what's even better for young children? Actual effing Lego.
