Violent Violet Virus Mace Windu: Just for clarity, I've never at all cared to debate whether Lucas was "tragic" or not. It was incidental to the context of what I wanted to discuss, which was the seemingly most oft invoked defense of rich people: "But how can you say X when they give a lot of money to charity." Anyway, though.
As far as I'm aware, you're not the one who made the claim about him being tragic in the first place, so I don't know why you assumed I was replying to you. Also, what's with the sourness? Chill, dude. Anyway...
I don't think anybody was really all that concerned with whether he was lying or not... it was a fun thread, regardless.
Dagnabbit, Daveeeeeed. Beat me to it. Did you at least get to first base, Roper? Please tell us what he did to your supple body with those paper cups...
i saw this on reddit with the caption "george lucas demonstrates the force"... i think we've now come full circle.
Well, I guess it's at least more creative than rehashing all the favorite hatefan complaints and might actually be more amusing and of higher entertainment value.
Terribly sorry if I came off as bitter. I certainly didn't mean to. I just wanted to clarify, since I'm the one that ended up in a multi-page debate about the ethics of charitable giving and the nature of tragedy. Sorry again.
If they have a happy marriage and stay together for many years to come, Lucas will give us plenty of artsy-fartsy in the future. I'm convinced there's a link between his marital status and the quality of his films. ANH and ESB were brought to us by his first marriage, and the Ewoks and the PT were brought to us by the divorcé years, amirite?
Spielberg also married a woman whose misfortune is that most people will only recognize as one of the most loathsome movie characters of all time.
Let me get this straight - a black woman saw Jar-Jar Binks... and agreed to marry George Lucas anyway?
