Disney's Bob Iger and George Lucas discuss the deal...

Not even if you huff it. And The Fonz looks terrible!

there is not enough glue in the world to make that make sense.

Haven't seen her interviewed until now, but my guess is that she is just naturally frenetic. I have some friends like her. Gotta be patient . . .

Horrible interview and interviewee. She may well just feel she has so much to get across that she has to rush through it, but she'd do better to pare it down to something that fits in the time she has.

It would if you had grown up in the 60's. I have come to the conclusion that there are a majority of people across the entire political spectrum in such tremendous denial that they could never accept criticism of their own partisan stance. I said elsewhere regarding this video that Paglia would be made the problem for pointing out the problem. I'm certain that is true.

Since she speaks so rapidly, I think it good to get a nice cup of tea and slooow down and absorb what she it saying. This feminist, liberal, atheist, lesbian, author, teacher has an indictment on our culture worth hearing. >> ^kir_mokum:

I never thought I'd say this as I am a big proponent of technology, but I think CGI has ruined most movies because acting and story-line suspense too the backseat. I can't believe that after Alien, the best sci-fi movie in my book, we got this??!!! I stopped watching Prometheus after the staple scene; I just couldn't bear myself to finish this garbage. I think Ridley Scott has gone down the mediocre path of George Lucas.

If only George Lucas had to go through these guys, Episode 1 might not have been so bad

Execs at a meeting before this whole process.
"How can we make more money.. without creating new things?"


Well, they got no new ideas and and least george lucas didnt put loads of shit all over it..

Thank god LOTR wasn't directed by George Lucas.

George Lucas is gonna be pissed.

The new one will be, without a doubt, much better. The old version was edited together using VCRs in order to get the episodes done on a tight schedule, so the quality was pretty bad. (Worse than the quality of TOS at times.) Since they are reediting from scratch, that alone will result in much better quality than we've ever seen. Add to that the excellent color correction, cleanup, cg enhancement, etc that they did to the remastered TOS, and it will end up being quite impressive indeed.
Pay attention, George Lucas. This is how you remaster your old work the RIGHT way!

Yeah, Paramount did an excellent job. See, George Lucas? THIS is how you remaster a series. By touching things up, but staying faithful to the original.

But I'm really excited to see how TNG turns out. The originals look particularly bad since all the editing was done on VHS for faster turn-around. For the remastered version, they're reediting the show from scratch, so it should be a big improvement.

I felt like there was a missed opportunity for a "green screen" joke there at the end, but yeah, pretty great. (Especially for a "yet another Gotye, yet another George Lucas" parody.)

Elliott Morgan and Lee Newton! High five! Ker-pow!>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

Who are these annoying people and why are they shouting at me?

This doesn't look like it even honors the original. I'm just down on Burton. He used to make great movies. It bums me out to see him follow the career path of Sting and George Lucas. >> ^Boise_Lib:

This looks awful.

My view is probably distorted by my love of the original soap-opera.
We used to never miss an episode (or the herbal enhancements we chose) after school.

I don't understand this... George Lucas has access to the original prints, he can just wipe his ass on them directly, instead of doing it this way.
