I also feel like people think that first assembly cut, which is just everything they shot put together, represented something that was meant to be releasable, which isn't the case. It was always meant to be improved upon. People have this idea that Lucas made his definitive cut, it was shit, and the studio had to…

Even saying, "he accidentally achieved amateurish charm!" is somewhat unfair, I think. While that is true in some cases, what Lucas does best in that movie, he does better than anybody, certainly at the time. I can't imagine another director pulling off the trench run, or the TIE Fighter/Falcon gun battle so well in…

Counterpoint: Ian McDiarmid is one of the best things about those movies, and the first two prequels would have been better had he been a bigger part of them. If anything, the Emperor stuff in Jedi is where the soul of the story lies. The second Death Star is there mostly to give the rest of the cast something to do.

I expect the consensus soon to be that Kenny Baker actually directed A New Hope via a walkie talkie hidden in the R2 suit connected to Lucas's earpiece.

Can't get past level 6, huh? The boss at the end of that one is a bitch.

There are. Like all the other people who host Talking shows, and every other panel host at Comic Con. And Mario Lopez.

Most illogical.

I was all-in on the original series. I do wonder how stretching out the murderer reveal for as much as thirteen episodes would have impacted that story line. Maybe not for the better. In any event, whatever bad decisions were made decades ago doesn't insulate Lynch from bad decisions today. Like having Coop still…

But enough about Justin Long.

Man, I sure hope that's not the case. If wishing for more time than that with "real" Coop makes me an asshole who doesn't understand true art, so be it. I'm fine with how things have progressed so far, but I don't think it's unreasonable to hope that a good chunk of the show features the character acting like the…

You've just infected me with the hope that Lynch shot with Bowie before he died and I'm gonna be pretty pissed off if it doesn't come to pass. After the stuff with the Log Lady though, it's not such a wild theory. In any event, if we do see Jeffries in the flesh again, it's gonna be damn interesting to see how Lynch…

And that purpose? To star in DUNE!

My dharma is the road. Your dharma… is incorrect.

::Pynchon is promptly pulverized by asteroid::

Barsanti's Bill Maher voodoo doll must be SO FRAYED by now.

That fascist fuck!

One can acknowledge that Maher screwed up while rejecting the idea that he deserves to be shipped off to Siberia over it. To reject the death penalty for thievery is not to excuse stealing, its a recognition that proportion is a thing.

For it to be remotely successful, he'd have to leave behind pretty much everybody he worked with on Nightly. Which would be awkward. I like Wilmore as a comic, but panels are not the best expression of his talents. Corralling a bunch of people just isn't him.

Why do people keep saying this? Did we forget all those weeks he had a panel show and it was fucking awful?

Ghostbusters 2's villain is a fucking painting and it's STILL better than the remake's.
