I'm looking for opinions. Some of his ideas are insightful. I have a lot to say about Star Wars, but I dont' think I'm opening that can of worms here for a long time.

Pretty sure I agree with his Starwars take

I agree with most of his comments, actually. I still think you can do a prequel well, which he seems to think is an impossibility, but other than that he's pretty much on the money.

Heh.

10) I've never seen aliens 3, but that gibson script I read last night, and it rocked.

9) HHGttG was pretty poor. I barely laughed once. Just typical pop american humour.

4) Starcraft i've never been impressed by, universe wise. It's just 40k mark 2. Theres a 40k fan movie being made by some germans, but god knows if they'll ever finish it.

3) I still don't think Snow Crash would work. But Terry Gilliam would make it have the right feel.

1) I thought the highway chase scene in Reloaded was easily the best part of the sequels. It was an exciting desperate fight. The rest of the movies were either bland, overdone or purposely trying to be confusing in order to appear deep.
