let's warm things up

[d2england]

Lucas is a true traitor to the word "film maker". He's off half way around the world with a unlimited budget (and a incredible exchange rate ratio) preaching to anyone who will listen about the new hd 24p technology.

Now mind you there is no doubt that one day the time shall be upon us that the celuloid will be a thing of the past and only seen behind the glass at the museum, BUT give me a friggen break. If every director had a unlimited budget and every camera manufacturer in the world begging to give you all the camera's and lenses you want, we could ALL be putting something in Sundance this year. Plus, you know next year when that $250,000 camera needs a software update, you think Lucas is going to stroke the check out of his ILM account for that? Doubtful.
George Lucas is a technology maker NOT a film maker.

Lucas... Poo. Poo... Lucas

Lucas: Hello Poo
Poo: Splatter Splut
Lucas: Which camera angle do you think I should shoot this scene from then Poo?
Poo: Belch flap Oooze
Lucas: You know what I can't make my mind up either. How about we get 50 cameras down here and film it from all sides. Then I can get some talented young editor to choose for me instead.
Poo: Dribble Splat
Lucas: Hey that's a good idea Poo! If I find someone talented and yet unheard of I can let him do all the work and then claim it as my own... and he won't even cost a thing coz he'll think I'm giving him a career break!
Poo: Blurggghh sploosh
Lucas: You know your a remarkably perceptive Poo... I'd like to shake your hand (grabs poo)
Poo: SQUELCH!!!!
Lucas: Urgghhh your just a smelly poo. Never mind I'll still nick your idea anyway.

wow this topic is still going...

As this is the most interesting thing on the board I thought i might as well rejoin the debate...

hairbrain... you're excused for that last post because your obviously high on something.

What Lucas did with Star wars will never be surpassed. The guy is unique not only as a filmaker but as a "pioneer" in technology...

i think scorsese got the idea by reading someone's autobiography. but, yes, the narrative and style of goodfellas is superb.

Yes, there was a real Henry Hill and Goodfellas is based on his real life story.
I saw the real Henry Hill on TV.
