[...] Posted by Evil Bender on February 13th, 2007 As a pirate-lover, I don’t have much use for those who call people who merely steal movies and are annointed real pirates. But as Kyso points out, anything that makes George Lucas stop making movies can’t be all bad. [...]

George Lucas is a fucking drama queen. I wouldn’t get my hopes up that he’ll actually stop making ridiculously shitty movies.

“…George Lucas came out with the startling announcement that his company had decided that making feature films was now “too expensive and too risky” in the current climate…”

I remember when DVDs were new and George Lucas said he’s never release any of the Star Wars movies in that format because of the danger of digital copies. So much for that…

Make a decent movie, sell the DVD’s for a decent price, people will by. Make a crappy movie (Gigli?), charge too much for DVD’s? - no sale…

(Honestly, the music biz is at least as stupid. Buy a whole album - 1 or 2 good songs - $17? WTF?…)

Besides, these days Lucas makes a huge amount of money on the technical side with Industrial Light and Magic and such. He will be rich regardless…

Well the Galactic Gasbag isn’t going to make any more movies I think our work here is done, internet movie pirates. *As she surveys the smoking ruins with arms akimbo and a look of weary pride*

We can all go back to regular theater attendance accompanied by abundant popcorn purchases.
