Lucas Reacts to Spidey 3...

OR,

The Kettle Calls the Pot Black, Part Deux!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,270874,00.html

"Lucas told me he has seen all the summer movies since his company, Industrial Light and Magic, does most of the special effects. The only one they didn't work on was "Spider-Man 3." What did he think of it?

"It's silly. It's a silly movie," he said. "There just isn't much there. Once you take it all apart, there's not much story, is there?"

Well, it's not "Star Wars."

"People thought 'Star Wars' was silly, too," he added, with a wink. "But it wasn't."

Lucas, by the way, says he is readying "Clone Wars," an animated series for TV that's derived from "Star Wars." Many "Star Wars" characters appear in "Clone Wars," but voiced by other actors.

And here's a little news: Lucas tells me he will make two more live-action films based in the "Star Wars" era.

"But they won't have members of the Skywalker family as characters," he said. "They will be other people of that milieu.""

***********************

Yes, Folks, he SAID all that.

The Apocalyse is coming!

And that's fine with me. I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so if Lucas wants to give us more movies on top of the two TV series he's working on, I can't wait to see what he comes up with. I mean, sure the prequels were a bit tacky but they do have their own special charm if you're willing to look for it.

"Lucas is absolutely one of my favorite people, a lovely guy who seems unaffected by his enormous success."

All that needs to be said.

Those two Star Wars movies look to be specials, like the Ewoks movies. Uh-oh...

"It's silly. It's a silly movie," [Lucas] said. "There just isn't much there. Once you take it all apart, there's not much story, is there?"

I can think of something else that's pretty silly...

I loved Spider-Man 3 it was really great. The thing I don't understand why so much hate for Vemon. Anyways Spider-Man storyline are the same as the first three Superman movies.

Spider-Man discovers powers falls in love
Superman: The Movie discovers powers falls in love
Spider-Man 2 gives up power sleeps with MJ
Superman 2 give up power for Lois also sleeps with her
Spider-Man 3 alien symbiotic cause Spider-Man to be bad
Superman 3 synthetic kryptonite cause Superman to be bad

Let's not hope Spider-Man 4 deals with the Clone Saga since Superman 4 Lex clones Superman's hair and nuclear power to Nuclearman.

Pretty sure Spidey never slept with MJ in the second film...Unless I missed something?!

The basic storylines for the Supes/Spider-Man movies are similar, but the movies themselves are very different.

I thought you would have pointed...to this!

He's been reading my review!

The similarities in parts 2 and II of each is that the leading lady <I>finds out</I> about our heroes' identity, as well as losing their powers.

Wow....

It's not just a river in Egypt, is it??

"But they won't have members of the Skywalker family as characters," he said. "They will be other people of that milieu."

Then why bother??

I know for years they were talking about Lucas picking up after ROTJ with new films, right?

I love how Rod Hilton put it in his ROTJ script:
