I really, really hope that his friends called George Clooney "The Cloon" when he was in high school. And naturally they'd use variations like "The Cloonster."

I feel like he's in that same category as John Goodman - when he shows up, you're suddenly like, "oh man, I kinda forgot about him, but this is gonna get real good real fast!"

It might be my tendency to fanboy all over the Zelda franchise, but … the moment that it pans over to the King of the Zoras and Mido, sitting together, not dancing, is pretty powerful. Everybody else in Hyrule is juggling cuccos or spinning around like idiots, but these two have both lost someone they love and aren't…

The pig in Moana begs to differ.

None of their characters are all that cute, regardless of whether or not they're animals.

While we're complaining about lesser CGI animated films …

Yeah, say what you will about Megyn Kelly, but at least she's an attractive blonde woman. That tends to draw eyeballs more than bowtie-wearing dweebs, regardless of how good either of them are stoking ill-informed paranoia among right-wingers.

Also, the castle is a clone of Boba Fett and has a double-bladed lightsaber! SO COOL

Whoever submitted the script did a terrible job. They've been a very, very bad boy or girl.

I think that's the idea.

I'm guessing this is NBC's attempt to grab some of those huge Fox News ratings.

You know, if my kids said that to me, I think I'd be so proud of their chutzpah, I wouldn't press the issue.

It's cool to just say, "That kind of thing doesn't interest me."

They'd still have the latent ability, but presumably they never had the inspiration to develop it. Maybe they joined the Little League team instead, or whatever it is non-nerdy kids do.

On that we agree! It was an elegant and dramatic solution.

Except, as far as I know, we have no idea how involved or detailed Lucas' story treatment was before the actual screenwriters developed it. It could have been a scene-by-scene outline that transferred almost directly to the screen, or it could have been a loose idea that changed drastically by the time even a first…

He made The Empire Strikes back by letting Irvin Kershner direct, and Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan write the script from his basic story idea.

Okay. But it was their interpretations that people loved. We all saw what Lucas delivered when he doesn't have financial constraints that force him to modify his original plans, a screenwriter to make his ideas into human dialogue, or a director to actually stage his ideas and guide his actors.

Lucas doesn't help matters by his constant retcons of the movie's history, like how he now says he always had a plan for all nine movies from the get-go. It makes one question just how involved he really was.

They're moving in herds!
