I also want to say Thank You, George! Star Wars made me the "movie fanatic" I am today.
Star Wars also made me appreciate another aspect of movies that has gotten lost, The Musical Score. Star Wars, and most notibly, Empire, made the Music as much of a part of the film, and the movie experience, as the visuals, acting, story, etc. that make up a movie. Star Wars is the reason I have 154 Movie CD's (most doene with classical style arrangements), and a total love for classic movie themes!
George's vision as well as his need for a roaring, exciting, and also mood setting muscial score gave us the great John Williams, as well as my appreciation for other composers like James Horner, James Newton Howard, John Barry, Basil Poledouris, Howard Shore and of course, the late, great, Jerry Goldsmith!
There will be haters of George for what he did, or didn't do, with the Prequels, but George also gave so much to the film industry thatmore often than not snubbed him the awards he so richly deserved. I know The Phantom Menace was a pretty bad movie, but to be beaten by The Matrix for BEST VISUALS was absurd! If there was at least ONE thing TPM was BAD ASS about, it was the visuals! And the music. And the Jedi vs. Sith Lightsaber Duel. And the Pod Race. And Darth Maul.
I hope we get to see movies based on either the Thrawn Trilogy or even better, Vector Prime! Bring on the Yuuzhan Vong!!! We have a HELL of a lot of movie possibilities with that series! And it could be done nice and DARK, with all the blood, gore, action, and of course, the death of Chewie!
YES!!!! Can't wait!!
Violator14......lucky Tony! ;-p
The first Iron Man is a modern classic! The second one, not so much, but still a really good movie! Lets hope the third time around is as good as the first!!
I couldn't care less about the RoboCop remake. The original was fantastic.....
Total crapfests. Waste of money!
I really want to see this one!!
I say, why bother as well. Poltergeist is a classic that was done by a director who had a certain style that can be seen throughout the film, which is what makes it so good. And besides, with no Jo-Beth Williams as the HOT MOM, this project is pointless!!! ;-p

I LOVE Creepshow! The Crate is my favorite of the short stories. But the roaches are hard for me to watch. I can't stand those things! And that many of them get me all, well, CREEPY! So I guess it works!
