George Lucas supervised the story, and since Jabba's son wasn't concieved as a character in the films doesn't mean it's impossible for him to exist. As for the Padawan, GL explained that due to the demands...
What does this finalization crap mean anyway? They've still got no screenplay or anyone signed on. Hell they've still gotta rework the IMAX cameras if they're truly gonna film the whole thing on IMAX as...
I concur that this one was a little boring in some scenes. Like the Dagobah stuff. Granted the Jedi Way had to be explained, but there's very little data about it provided here in comparison to the prequels...
I love movies, and want to get a career in making them after college.
I have worked on a few small film projects in high school media.
I'm currently in an editing class that teaches "Final Cut Express" & "Final Cut Pro." None of which are of broadcasting quality, but it's the first in a long line of filming related classes.
Unfortunetly, as twisted as this sounds, my cousin is gonna be a father by April of next year, meaning his best friend and mother of the kid will be moving in with him. Bye bye roomie. I won't have enough money to get in with some people on an apartment down there. Especially since my cousin was the only one who lived anywhere near the college, so my hopes of getting into film school down there have been dashed, for the moment anyway.
Horror movies are also a big thing with me. I love them, well the old ones at least.
Not many of the new ones are as great, just gory and bad. Though I haven't been
scared by a horror movie in over a decade, so age plays into the scare factor back then,
but nothing's scary anymore.
Oh, and the ORIGINAL HALLOWEEN RULES!
I also obsess over True Crime novels/subjects and their film adaptations,
like Helter Skelter/Zodiac/From Hell etc.
And I also consider myself a Ripperologist/Zodiacologist.
When reviewing movies by picking how many stars it's worth on facebook,
I couldn't help but review all fifty of them in a few short sentences,
whether I liked the film I was reviewing or not.
Meaning that I love shooting out my opinion on every movie I've seen.

HEATH LEDGER ON PLAYING THE JOKER:
"I wouldn't have thought of me, either. But it's obviously not going to be what Jack
Nicholson did. It's going to be more nuanced and dark and more along the lines of
'A Clockwork Orange' kind of feel. Which is, I think, what the comic book was after:
less about his laugh and more about his eyes."
"I definitely feared it. Although anything that makes me afraid I guess excites me at the
same time. I don't know if I was fearless, but I certainly had to put on a brave
face and believe that I have something up my sleeve. Something different..."
"It's a combination of reading all the comic books I could that were relevant to the script and then just closing my eyes and meditating on it. I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices - it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh. I ended up landing more in the realm of a psychopath- someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts. He's just an absolute sociopath, a cold-blooded, mass-murdering clown, and Chris has given me free rein. Which is fun, because there are no real boundaries to what The Joker would say or do. Nothing intimidates him, and everything is a big joke."

Yeah, I hear good things about "The Men Who Stare At Goats," but I'll probably not be seeing it until it's on DVD. I used up one resource to see "The Fourth Kind," and then I'll be using the other to see "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" next weekend. "2012" looks great. I had problems with the idea at first, but the previews have convinced me otherwise. Should be fun. Not too much going on on my end, but I'm sick... I guess that's new? lol.
hah yea I know Its been for EVER I'm pretty good I'm just getting swamped with all of my classes. I'm a junior now and I'm getting more homework than ever now! ugh. so hows it goin for you
I found them on Photobucket. Don't remember exactly what I typed in, though, sorry. LOL!!!!! Anyway, I'm writing my review as we speak, so keep a look out for it. :)
Wow Seems Your Pretty Busy Yes I Want to see The Perfect Getaway really bad!!!....I Did Not Like The Soloist it lacked something for me...any planes this weekend i am goin to see G.I. Joe again lol.
Hey man, and no problem. I'll check out the Death Sentence review when I get a chance.
You've got quite the profile, man... Haha, my computer was sure taking its time to load it all... So you want to go to a film school? That's actually what I'm studying--or actually--finishing now. And good to see someone else that appreciates the horror genre. Aside from the original Halloween, what are you favorites? And also, what do you want to accomplish in a film school? As in, do you want to direct? Produce? Write? All of the above?
Kind of what I thought it would be like but I agree,definitely worth the dime.And I have no doubt that a sequel is in the works.So what movies are you looking forward to seeing next?
Hello, Sly. lolz. I'd go to youtube and watch it, but I prefer to watch movies on the Television. I don't know why, but I find it harder to concentrate on the computer than on the TV. Anyway, we'll have the movie coming soon from NetFlix, so I'll be seeing it pretty quick, I should think.
Yeah, I might add it to my NetFlix list. lolz... I don't know though, I've lost faith in zombies. I think the only thing zombie-wise I look forward to is "Resident Evil: Afterlife" next year. I'd see "Inglorious Basterds" if the chance came up, but I think everyone's blowing the whole thing out of proportions, and I'm not as enticed by the previews and such as everyone else seems to be. I've only got five movies coming out the rest of this year that I plan to catch: "H2: Halloween 2," "Dorian Gray," "Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant," "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," and "Sherlock Holmes."
Speaking of "Dorian Gray," by the way, here's the trailer. Since MovieWeb hasn't posted a thread about it, just the trailer, I thought you'd like to see it.
He wants to do Clue, which I think it stupid because why would he give up a popular video game adaptation for a board game adaptation that's already been done?
The game is for X-Box 360 and PS3. The sequel is being released early next year.
I've got no interest in that movie, otherwise I would... Maybe I'll just wait for the DVD and watch it on Dad's projector screen... I don't know... It just didn't look good at all when I saw the trailers... Well... That's a lie... It looked great until they showed the stupid aliens with those subtitles. I just laughed out loud at them. I feel that's what it'll be like throughout the entire movie for me... I'll be laughing when I should be glued to my seat.
I can't remember how far I got into it the last time I tried, which was last year... That movie just freaks me right the fuck out. lmfao. So there was too much action in "28 Weeks Later," and that's why your friend didn't like it? I may just see it, then. lmfao... Anyway, I'm going to see "Psycho" soon, it's on my list of movies to watch soon... It's a classic, and I can't pass it up.
I think it'll be in development hell for a while. Verbinski doesn't seem to be moving along with it. He was rumored to be making another Clue movie. I'd like to see David Fincher make a prequel. Have you played the game?
You didn't like "The Exorcist?" That's the only movie that scares me so much that I still haven't finished it! Yeesh... I agree with you on "28 Days Later." That film is WAY to overrated. I mean, I don't know what I expected from a movie about zombies (The only series zombie films I ever liked were the "Resident Evil" movies as well as the ORIGINAL "Night of the Living Dead," and the ORIGINAL "Dawn of the Dead." After those Romero seriously lost his touch. Some comedies are good, though, like "Shaun of the Dead"), but I gave it it'd due chance, since it's widely talked about, and I absolutely hated it. It was BORING, and the acting wasn't that great... There wasn't even that much action, either, like you said... Just a snooze-fest that I'll never suggest myself to again... Part of the reason why I still haven't seen "28 Weeks Later," actually. "District 9," to me, looks like it's going to fail miserably, but so far the reviews have been good. Hope you like it. I myself will wait for DVD.
Well, I'd like to say I was going through another series to write reviews for, but I'm not. Since I finished my "Friday the 13th"/"A Nightmare on Elm Street" reviews, I've not really been in a reviewing mood. That's a total of nineteen movies reviewed all at once, and it's kinda been like BLAH! I took a similar break after finishing reviews for all the James Bond movies when "Quantum of Solace" had come out. XD I did one for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" because I'd reviewed the others when I was under the impression that it was coming out last November, and I did one for "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," which I saw you commented, since I saw that in theaters, and generally review movies after I go and see them for the first time. I'm thinking of starting up a review series on "The Omen" movies, though, so if I start, be on the lookout. lolz.
I have absolutely no clue. lmfao. I've only read the book once, and that was right when it came out. I'm re-reading them now, and when I come to "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," that's one of the things I'll be trying to figure out. I don't really think I care where it ends, as long as it ends good.
Yeah, I've got complete confidence with the next two installments. I mean, I accept the books and the films as two different entities, and as such try not to let the missing parts get me down. I have confidence in these final two installments tying everything up nicely.
That sounds like a hell of a good time. I guess you wouldn't swing by and pick me up huh(laughing)? I have never been to Disnyland. I gotta get on that.
That sounds like it would be a lot of fun. I figured that was why your review was so long, and I'd have to disagree with you. There was barely any emotion for Sirius (Though, mind you, I still cried. lmfao), whereas Dumbledore's was more well done, in my opinion. Anyhow, I haven't really been up to much. Just a lot of reading.
