Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-29-2012 09:52 PM                     Just heard it's not two more AVATAR movies...it's now three more. What a pity.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 07-04-2012 03:53 PM                     This has got to be some kind of Andy Kaufman performance art type of put on. The guy crows about how he is advancing technology to make movies with an anti-technology message. And makes (put pinkie to corner of mouth) MILLION$ while doing it. Brilliant!  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

If anyone's interested in locating that quote -- it can be found in the old TV documentary special "From Star Wars to Jedi" -- and maybe got recycled into other bonus material. It's also interesting that George (pre-power) tells the story of conquering an Evil Empire and then (post-power) tells a story that sympathizes with his principal villain. Analyze that!  |  IP: Logged
