Has anyone seen "Thumb WARS" now that is the best "Star Wars" film I've seen.
Posted by Mike Blakesley (Member # 26) on 03-05-2002, 12:09 PM:
I don't know what "yub yub" is, but if you turn it backwards, it seems to be George Lucas's philosophy regarding the whole Star Wars product.

The best Star Wars spin-off? Have you seen Troops?
Posted by Adam Martin (Member # 641) on 03-05-2002, 01:04 PM:
Troops was more COPS than Star Wars ... it just used the SW characters. While I found it amusing, Thumb Wars needed to be watched a second time to see everything I missed while I was laughing the first time.
Posted by Greg Anderson (Member # 235) on 03-05-2002, 02:57 PM:
Both are funny, for sure, but when push comes to shove I prefer humor to be bone dry.

Hardware wars and the obviouse Space Balls

I second Spaceballs:The Movie. What a great send-up. Also check out the Star Wars Gangsta Rap (available on the Atom Films Website) its hilarious. Another good one is Glengarry Glen Darth.Owen

I agree Spaceballs blows any Star Wars Film right out the door and at Ludicrous Speed at that. There should ahve been many sequels to that but I guess the Melster never does that.

That is what I would say if I was on the set of Episode II or any Starwars film.

You can come to your own conclusions about Harry Knowles' credibility, but here's his essay on "Episode II." (It's amazing that he can get pirated movies two months before they're released, eh?)
http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=11796Incidentally, the review is said to contain "minor" spoilers.
Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 03-18-2002, 02:29 AM:
I find it extremely hard to believe that some employees of LucasFilm snuck out a videotape of Episode II from the ranch and screened it in a hotel room. (And don't even say they set up a D-cinema DLP machine in a hotel room for this.) Now maybe he saw the same "reel" of footage that was shown at ShoWest, that I could believe, for he even mentioned the ShoWest reel in his review. As far as the review, my opinion is that it is all based upon scripts and various things taken from the internet...and perhaps he snuck into the ShoWest performance. Security was basically zero there anyway.Still, from what I've seen, this movie certainly does look quite good.

I listened many years ago to a radio interview that Mel Brooks did as he was discussing the possibility of a sequel to SpaceBalls... in his words "well we wanted to do another one, SpaceBalls 2, the search for more money, as we alluded to in the original film, but we lost the script for it. So we proceeded right to SpaceBalls 3, the search for SpaceBalls 2. The problem with that one is that no one cared about finding Spaceballs 2 so now we are working on 'SpaceBalls 4, what the hell happened to Spaceballs 2 and 3?. No really, I personally don't like to do sequels. reason is, you spoof a film genre once, then you let it go. No point rehashing something just because the original author cant let it go."
Now as for thumb wars... no thanks.. but did love hardware wars...
