The Sound of the Crowd

Now where have I heard that before?

“Lucas said he was getting “a lot of flak” from parents concerned about the film’s US rating.

“A lot of people saying how can you do this? My children love these movies. Why can you not let them go see it?” he said.

“But I have to tell a story. I’m not making these, oddly enough, to be giant, successful blockbusters. I’m making them because I’m telling a story, and I have to tell the story I intended.”

Riiiiiiiight. And Douglas Adams would have loved every change the Hitchhiker’s movie made to his dialogue, and Nicole Kidman is the perfect choice to play an African woman protesting black misrule, and Ice Cube is the new action film star, and Amityville Horror is based on a true story, and Sahara is an Indiana Jones flick for the new millennium.
