My take on Star Wars is that it's 1930s sci-fi
) Star Wars (was RE: (313) Techno Films)
It also kickstarted the exploitation of kids through merchandising.
Hollywood went seriously down hill after Star Wars' success
(the triumph of style over substance), not that that is
Lucas' fault. It now only seems concerned on capitalising on
past
I just *wanted* to have a model of the Millennium Falcon.
Me too.
My mate Dan had one of these when we were little.
(Dan does those critical phase records with kirk.)
I remember we threw it out of the window to see if it would fly.
It didn't. and it went in a little pond.
What a rip-off.
The Godfather and Taxi Driver anymore IMO, so
I've been hoist by my own pertard yet agian :)

I think Star Wars is a particular bugbear of yours partly
because so many people - especially in the world of electronic
music - like it so much ;)
Come again Martin? Mr G? Are we talking use of samples here? I'm well behind

I've never liked Star Wars and boy did I try - the only thing I really

The proportion of films coming out of Hollywood which are
particularly insightful or thought-provoking seems pretty
much the same now as it was in, say, the late 1960s. To
think otherwise

My take on Star Wars is that it's 1930s sci-fi visually
