He proceeds to sell Spielberg on his idea for Indiana Smith, and they make Raiders of the Lost Ark (after a quick surname switch). Spielberg mentions an interest in making a James Bond picture Lucas’s response is that he’s got an idea that’s even better than Bond. The story goes that Lucas and Spielberg were on vacation, recovering from the relative stresses of Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This story of how Indiana Jones was born as a franchise is relatively well-known, but it’s still one of my favorite Lucas moments. And honestly, it’s not hard to find times where he was one of the more insightful people in the room, either. His entire career is a testament to that, if nothing else. Which is a shame, really, because Lucas has always been the sort of maverick-y independent personality the film industry could use more of, not less.
No, it’s not good news this time either.īetween the disappointing critical reactions to Strange Magic (I haven’t seen it yet) and the news that Abrams and Disney pretty much jettisoned his input on the new Star Wars movies, it’s safe to say there’s no sort of post-Prequel credibility boost to the guy.
Just move along.Well, George Lucas has been in headlines again. That sir, qualifies you as CNN field reporter for those moments when, while fires are raging, looting is in full bore, bullets are flying, cops and elderly Asians are being beaten on screen, you are reporting “nothing but peaceful enthusiasm on display here folks now back to the studio for a follow-up lead story: Was that a polyp or did Joe have a thought?”Ĭan some Democrat please play the role of Nero while our country burns? I thought of Hillary Clinton given her Benghazi role, but maybe she’s too busy BleachBitting Hunter Biden’s laptop. The author met the Wikipedia challenge of structuring a sentence incorporating the word “phantasmagorical,” used to describe his perception of Trump conspiracy theories. Or perhaps I misinterpreted the author’s true intent of soliciting for an open position in the Biden administration, that of GPS coordinator to help Vice President Kamala Harris locate our southern border.Īs to 27 mental health professionals claiming Trump a “clear and present danger,” that’s akin to counting the number of clowns exiting a vehicle in the center ring of a Barnum & Bailey Circus, all proclaiming they drove safely, whilst Joe Biden’s Rorschach test results came back unsubstantiated due to narcolepsy. Shamed congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, which also reviles us knuckle-dragging Republicans, brings to mind the Bard’s coined phrase “methinks thou doth protest too much.” The letter “Questioning mental health of Trump, Greene” (June 17, TribLIVE), a pseudo-psychologist analysis of our former president and current Pelosi.
