After seeing it on Broadway and on tour, I was terrified when they said they'd cast Thurman as Ulla. Now that I've seen the trailer, though, it looks great!
I still would have liked to see Robin Williams as the ex-Nazi playwrite. Ah well, looks good anyway. Now, all Mel has to do is produce an animated feature and he can die.
Is Clone Wars the one they were running on Cartoon Network recently? I saw it and was utterly and completely unimpressed. Besides, I don't trust Lucas with his own work anymore, not after the re-edits he did on ANH and on THX1138. Absolutely criminal.
I just want the pure Golden Age "gosh wow (sense of wonder)" rush that ANH gave me in '77. ANH looked fresh and honest, and it was: it was a Hail Mary play by Lucas. He had no way of knowing what a hit it would be, so he just threw himself into it and made the best movie he could--and that's how and why it worked.
I haven't head anything SINCE then, so I don't know if this is still happening or not. But I'll take whatever Mel Brooks material I can get. I can't get enough of the guy. :)

Why? You're doing fine. Also, to be blunt, right now I've got a small allergy to collaboration. (This does not affect or involve partiallyclips, just so he doesn't freak out.)

When he does, he'll deserve it, no matter how horrible it will be to see the greatest film-maker of our time pass on.
