The good Doctor's show had the most expansive setting and the best stories of any sf show at the time. Too bad the effects sucked and there wasn't much focus on continuity (three different explanations for the destruction of Atlantis!) Still, I think it would make a bang-up TV show again if done with today's $1 million/episode budgets.
"What do you do for an encore, Doctor?""I win."
Ahh...those were the days...
He played the Doctor in the movies, didn't he? I have never seen the motion pictures--but I can see old Moff as the Doctor. He has a good "look."
I thought one of the cooler moves on Attack of the Clones was getting Christopher Lee, my favorite Dracula to play Count Dooku.
Star Wars earned more than 150 million in the first week, right?
Probably going to earn more in the next few weeks, right? More, perhaps, than every "chick-flick" ever earned (except the boat picture) put togther. More than every
Now, comparing this jerk's salary with those numbers....who do you think knows more about who goes to films?
The "West Hollywierd" types who vote for Oscars and talk a lot among themselves, or the ILM group who makes good movies?
Good Catch, thanks!
Sounds like a recipe for a healthy and vigerous world to me.

You know, I have DirecTV, and whenever they ran a promo for this movie, I swear they pronounced it 'Chuckaluck'. I couldn't help laughing every time I heard it.

And the problem is???????
I dated a Stars Wars fanatic with mixed success when I was 25. He was actually quite romantic, but the action figures collection he had in his bedroom gave me the screamin' willies, and made me feel a little like I was dating someone's little brother.
Nice as Star Wars guys may be... I am quite sure the best date is a Lord of the Rings fanatic. I dig guys that can can speak poetry in Elvish, or will admit to getting teary eyed at the choices of Master Samwise or the fall of Boromir. Here's to all the good LoTR lovin' men I know (I hope I have not forgotten anyone!)
Hey, I do LOTR too! :-)
As much as I was anticipating "Attack Of The Clones", it's **really** left me feeling flat and unimpressed. The only two characters who really "felt" like they were straight out of classic Star Wars were Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Count Dooku (Christopher Lee, who has the most WICKED Star Wars villain of all time with this role IMHO). I wanted to cry at least once during Episode II: never happened.
By contrast, not only did my fiancee and me cry at times during "Fellowship Of The Ring", but during the trailer for "The Two Towers" as well :-)
- Doesn't TTT look great? - At least you have that to look forward to! - Sorry about AOTC...
I'm off to take the 13-year-old to see it tonite. Funny how I got two kids never having had a date...
I'm beginning to believe what a lot of people are now saying, what's been said since "Return Of The Jedi", even: that Lucas has a beautiful tale worked out in the Star Wars saga, but in terms of executing it as the director... well, this isn't his strong suit. He should have executive produced instead.
Where did you hear of the cut scenes? from trailers and things?
Winks and smiles maq.... I misplaced but did not forget you!
A&E's Biography show is doing Star Wars Biographies this week. Naturally they did Lucas on Monday. They showed Harrison Ford saying that at his first meeting with Lucas for American Grafitti, Lucas encouraged him to get involved with animated film making, since you didn't have to bother working with actors. It looks like Lucas knew what he did best all the way back at the beginning.
