10 years too late.

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

And in case anyone doubts he means it, Lucasfilm is getting out of the movie biz.

...

Lucas said he believes Americans are abandoning the moviegoing habit for good.


I'd go so far as to say Lucas himself helped drive peeps away from theatres.

"For that same $200 million, I can make 50-60 two-hour movies. That's 120 hours as opposed to two hours. In the future market, that's where it's going to land, because it's going to be all pay-per-view and downloadable.


Intriguing math. & come to think of it, there's more than a couple directors that did kick-ass work on a next to nothing budget & did suck-ass work when someone gave them cash. & just cos shit it pay per view & downloaded doesn't mean theatres are going away. This is also the dude that thought digital projectors & shit would be standard in every cineplex by the year 2000.

Yeah, they're not abandoning movies, just his crap.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Big studios yes, but I have seen more and more movies I like coming from small indie producers lately.
