Man I found porn in the woods once. Hustler probably.

He likes his women a little on the meteor side.

It's for the breast.

There's no question that Williams has been the best in the business since Bernard Hermann died. He may be the best that's ever lived, depending on your yardstick. Like Spielberg, with whom he's perfectly matched, Williams possesses an unrivaled technical mastery of his craft, but sometimes loses artistic cred because…

Yes we'll I've always felt most connected to Star Wars through the filmmaking side of it, especially the music. I generally consider myself a soundtrack collector (though less than I used to be), and - big surprise - it was John Williams that got me into it. I know the music of Star Wars so well I'm pretty sure I…

If you're trying to nerd shame me you've got a long ways to go. I know what THAC0 is, boy.

Anyone else remember Star Wars: Behind the Magic? Man that was the best CD-ROM ever made. It was most famous for containing the deleted Tatooine scenes, but my favorite bit was this: https://youtu.be/wcbkWgCy4Gg

You don't deserve to sniff Lapti Nek's boot! It is all that is awesome, and even if I admit to a skosh of hyperbole here, it certainly fits the mood of Jabba's palace better than the country-western banality of the execrable Jedi Rocks.

It's funny how I can sort of map out phases of my life by which Star Wars movie is my favorite. When I was kid, Jedi was obviously my favorite, because it's just so packed with action and wisecracks and cool vehicles and so on. When I became a sardonic young adult, obviously Empire was my favorite. It's so smart and…

Star Wars is always best on the big screen, but the most transformative screening for me was actually one of the worst in a technical sense. It was 12ish years ago, right around the time Star Wars (finally!) appeared on DVD. By that point we'd all been spoiled by the format, and my family had a big widescreen TV, so…

There is for modern films. In fact I believe these days it's a matter of dividing the gross by the tickets to get the average ticket price rather than dividing by the average price to get the tickets. But pre-1980 it's all a big crap shoot.

It should be noted that the all-time adjusted box office list usually quoted is still skewed by the inclusion of re-release grosses as well. This may or may not be a fair way to measure the lifetime popularity of a movie (I don't think it is, because there's no consistent rules to how often or how widely movies get…

Are you kidding me? He's blind.

Oh, can I have a scone?

Disney's other renaissance musicals are all the same length or shorter, and all include at least 5 staged numbers plus reprises.

There's five songs, but Circle of Life and most of Can You Feel The Love Tonight are simply played over the soundtrack like any song in a non-musical. There's only three staged "numbers" sung by the characters on screen (plus a smidge of Timon bookending Can You Feel), and of those the only one anyone cares about is…

I'm hoping they just drop the songs. The Lion King was barely a musical in the first place anyway. The original has, what, three in-narrative musical numbers? I've always felt it was a movie that didn't want to be a musical shoehorned into that mold because Disney wasn't confident they could make anything else, and if…

Maybe, but Favreau already has one live-action* reboot win under his belt, and it would be hard to be more pointless than Beauty and the Beast.

Scar's voice isn't really deep exactly. It's often quite high and thin actually. It's just… well, he sounds like Jeremy Irons, who is to raspy voices what George Seurat is to polka dots. As much as Jones deserves his reputation for being so singularly irreplaceable, Irons will be nearly as hard an act to follow.
