I'm not surprised that ROTS didn't get any Oscar nominations. However I have to disagree with Madam Corvax about the prequels falling into obscurity. So long as Star Wars is remembered, people will HAVE to bring up the Prequels.

And there comes the tiny little bit of the upcoming TV shows. I checked out on the IMDB about this and I saw that there is not one, but two Star Wars TV shows coming up. One that's based on the original Star Wars movies while the other concentrates on the events during the Clone Wars.

Both of them are untitled as of yet, but they should be up and running as of this year, or so the IMDB says. They're still in development and who knows what could happen?

EDIT: I reread the stuff on the IMDB. It seems painfully obvious that what Chefelf and other people over here are afraid of may come true. One of the Star Wars TV shows will be basically Star Wars 3.5 since it would be based in the time between Episode III and IV. We were right all along, George Lucas only made the movies for profit and gave lip service to the story, he would rather tell teeny tiny bits of it here and there in the EU of it, just like the Clone Wars cartoons and now the TV shows.

Just decided to drop by again and see how you people are going.

Oh they'll be remembered alright, just like the Holiday Special. The inclusion of Hayden in Jedi and all the other alterations made to the OT will make certain of that.

As for the TV series, I don't know. From what I've read *none* of the main characters will be included. Not even the droids. Who will they be exploring then? A rag tag crew of would-be rebels most likely. Bet you anything a hard-ass mandalorian (Bongo Fett, a distant cousin) will be featured sooner or later...

[Madam Corvax]

Seeing Paladin and HK-47 here seems just like good old days... Nice to see you guys.

Anyway, SW 3.5 will probably be all about the infamous Kitt Fisto and other Jedi masters who were killed by odred 66... Which pretty much falls into the GL thinking - show something which people already know how it will end.

It's really good to see you too Madam, and all the other familiar people. Haven't been here for ages. Somehow the launch of ROTS and the ensuing mega-disappointment (although expected) made me long for a vacation away from SW...

[Revan-47]

Understood. AFter RotS i was really burnt out.

Edit:Ive heard in the discussion that both Titanic and THe aviator were bad movies. WHats up with that? they rocked!

Leonardo dicaprio is overrated... and over used.

if i had to choose between leo and billy zane, i'd pick billy zane.

bad casting was the biggest problem there...

that and an overtold love story stereotype where the huge friken ship sinking in the background... the other way around may have been more enjoyable...

and i'm sick of movies tjhat romantasize unfaithfulness... you wanna leave a jerk, then leave the jerk... but dump him before you satart fooling around in the backseat of someone else's car!!!!

damn immoral hollywood!!!

[Zatoichi]

*ahem*
Titanic:
-Hot naked chick
-That random dude hits one of the propellers berfore falling into the water
-Leonardo Dicaprio dies
-The Villians live

'nuff said

[Gobbler]

But yeah, it was all rather pointless, don't you think? First thing I said when I entered the cinema was "That ship's going to sink!" - would you believe how many cold stares I got?

[Chyld]

- Three hours is far too long for a film where the plot is "An effing big boat sinks".

- I've had no faith in public polls... well... ever. Just look at people in general. They had to rig the "100 Greatest Britons" poll a couple of years ago, just top make sure someone remotely useful to life in general (Isembard Kingdom Brunel) came first over some tart the tabloids won't shut the hell up about (Princess Fucking Diana, long may she rot)

[J m HofMarN]

I enjoyed both Titanic and The Aviator, and I disagree about DiCaprio. Almost all of his movies have been of great quality because he knows that being himself is not going to make a movie good. That's why he's gone out of his way to find experienced directors and good films to play in. Catch Me If You Can and The Aviator being two great examples.

Also, what was wrong with Princess Di? I might be biased because my tax dollars don't go to supporting her.

[civilian_number_two]

What was wrong with Princess Di? There is more to being important than being born rich and looking good in photo ops with poor people. She was a celebrity who loaned her name out to occasional charities, between bouts of pill abuse and heavy drinking. She died in a drunken car crash, and the press had the amazing will to blame it on other press. Yeah, she had some marital troubles, woop, and sure, I feel like the constant microscope of celebrity is terrible, but she could have done what other celebrities do that actually don't want paparazzi attention: she could have been boring. Instead, she jetsetted and played the field and made of her life an open book, later to complain of the attention. When she died, and sure, God bless her, the press convinced the public she had died a martyr and a saint. Elton John belittled his earlier tribute to Marilyn Monroe by rewriting it. People made out like she had actually meant somehting to tehm. She was called the "people's princes," whatever that even means. Folks lined up for hours just to drop flowers on the road. It was embarrassing and it went on for nearly three years.

Me, I prefer Bob Geldof. A working class hero, he has devoted the better part of his adult life to raising awareness about the troubles in Africa and what a political problem it is, far beyond the reach of some benefit concert he may have had a part in setting up 20 years ago. When he dies, whether it be in a car crash or not, he won't get anything like the attention he deserves.

[Supes]

When he dies, whether it be in a car crash or not, he won't get anything like the attention he deserves.

I don't know about that. I think when Bob goes people are going to really see just how much he has been involved in. It is in our nature to be guided by the glitz in life and only really know the substance in death.
