paul carruthers Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Another Star Wars movie? You mean George Lucas didn't wring enough milk out of the cash cow with the prequels. Oh well, I won't rain on the parade of any SW nuts who may be on the board. Ciao... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagittarius Rising Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 ^ Yeah, no kidding. I am sure it will suck, just like the last four...Return of the Jedi to whatever the hell the last piece of shit was called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I won't rain on the parade of any SW nuts who may be on the board. Ciao... Where have you been Lucas sold the rights to Disney last year for about 9 million, bajillion dollars. Get ready for many, many sequels, prequels, spin offs whatever in the near future. http://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/celebrity/celebrity-news/2012/10/31/star-wars-episode-7-confirmed-news-rumours-2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 It'll be a much better film if they cast Sora Aoi in the lead role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) i heard on the radio today that carrie fisher is getting in shape for the new star wars movie. this is good news. Good news? For who? In what bizarro alternate universe would this be considered good news by reasonably sane people? Will this be Princess Leia: The Rehab Years? Maybe Princess Leia is now Queen Leia...and they could cast Debbie Reynolds as the Queen Mum. Oh yeah, get ready for Disney to start cranking shit out to recoup their investment.

Strider Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Mickey Mouse is the new Jar Jar Binks At least that's an improvement. Jar Jar Binks was...no, it's still too painful to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I just hope she isn't planning on getting back in the slave bikini at her age.

SozoZoso Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Mind you if they were to bring him back and do a sort of "Chim Chim Cheree" ala Dick Van Dyke style, you might have something like this...(done In the style of "Snatch") They won't make him sing and dance will they?

Charles J. White Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 My son loved it, if you watch it through the eyes of an adult, it is going to suck, but if you embrace escapism, you will like it. ^ Yeah, no kidding. I am sure it will suck, just like the last four...Return of the Jedi to whatever the hell the last piece of shit was called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagittarius Rising Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 My son loved it, if you watch it through the eyes of an adult, it is going to suck, but if you embrace escapism, you will like it. True for most, but even as a kid I preferred drama to syrupy sweet children's programming. I was brought up watching The Marathon Man, Midnight Cowboy, and The Boys from Brazil. When Empire came out I loved it, more dark and deep. Then when Return came out I just about shit my pants when I saw the Ewoks, I thought, who the hell let Jim Henson in this thing? WTF happened?

Strider Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 My son loved it, if you watch it through the eyes of an adult, it is going to suck, but if you embrace escapism, you will like it. Depends on the kid. When my godson was 10, we took him to see all three original Star Wars movies when they were screened at a local theatre. He liked Star Wars okay, thought Empire was better and his reaction at the end of Return of the Jedi was: What was with those gay Ewoks?

Strider Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) ^^^ No she is not...and I actually enjoyed her books, especially "Postcards from the Edge". Her mom, Debbie Reynolds' books are a blast, too. That's the thing...I think Carrie could do so much better...she deserves better than to whore herself out in another brainless Star Wars sequel.

Strider Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 As opposed to what? Whoring herself out to Spiderman, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Star Trek... etc. J.J. Abrams will be directing the new Star Wars film. He's had some reasonable success with Lost and Star Trek. I'll see how this one goes. Who knows, he may pull it off? Why does the alternative have to be some comic or superhero franchise? All those fanboy movies you listed...is that all you can see Carrie in? Personally, I like to remember how good she was in "Shampoo", and think she would be great in a nice smart, witty comedy ensemble piece.

Sagittarius Rising Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 ^ OMG, c'mon now people and lighten up. This is just silly banter, nothing more. No offense is meant and if you have ever seen the several roasts of celebrities where Carrie Fischer is involved, you will see that what Strider and others are saying is very tame by comparison. Hell, even Fischer herself makes fun of her past addictions and weight gain, she is a marvelous person with a great sense of humor...unlike some folk on this forum. Geessshhhh!!!!

kipper Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 carrie had a rough life. i don't think its easy for her sometimes. so much of what her life was reminds me of judy garlands. sometimes when people make fun of themselves its because they hurt inside. something to think about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redirtuo Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 kipper, seriously. Check this youtube of her on ferguson, she would probably laugh at this thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW9fuTGbHug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It's all right, people, I don't mind kipper. Probably a returning former member just trying to stir shit up. I rest easy because I know my track record here is above board and secure...I don't harrass(sexually and otherwise) people with PMs, I don't pry into people's personal lives, I don't go on witchhunts, I don't spam or post bullshit, and while I may get in an argument or two, I'm usually the first to walk away and not let it disrupt the forum. If kipper doesn't like me, fine. No skin off my back...you can't be liked by everyone anyway. I still have people mad at me for saying Major Major had as much right to be given a second chance here as Jahfin. Or Big Dan. Kipper can scream "bully" all he/she wants. Doesn't bother me and it never will. Because I know the truth says otherwise and I know most people can see that truth for themselves. If kipper had read my post a little more closely, kipper would have seen how I actually sympathize and feel sorry for Carrie. She is a woman with some talent for writing and a biting, sassy sense of humour. She could be a Nora Ephron or Elaine May, writing screenplays...and even acting in them. If she needs the money, fine, do a Star Wars sequel. But she deserves better. That's the main point I was trying to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
