A friend wrote about enjoying a production of “Pirates of Penzance” at Oregon State. I looked for YouTube versions . . . Oh, my!

What do George Lucas and the new Droid have in common? More than you'd think! I'm stoked to get my hands on the new device being offered up by Motorola to see if it really can top my iPhone , but when I got an invite to the San Francisco launch party I noticed something interesting at the bottom: the word "droid" is licensed to Lucasfilm LTD , which means Motorola pays a fee to the Star...

Every year the Today Show goes all out for Halloween. I’m fairly certain at least 30% of their annual budget must go to this effort. This year, the theme was “Star Wars” and they even worked with George Lucas to make sure the costumes were done right. I saw a couple minutes [...]

MarketSaw claims that this information is from...
Unstructed » GEORGE LUCAS: 1983 VS 2005 Yep. I’m no troglodyte, but I wasn’t particularly impressed with the visual approach of the later Star Wars flicks, irrespective of the innumerable story, script, and character issues. Try as he might, I think I prefer Peter Jackson’s organic tapestries of CGI and traditional film-making. It might be sci-fi fantasy, but I still don’t...
