Week 115 Spotlight: George Lucas is impotent

As Avatar continues to break box office records, it encourages other films to incorporate 3D visual effects in order to capitalize on this latest trend. And since George Lucas never met a dollar he didn’t like, he is already on record saying that James Cameron’s revolutionary film is “a new impetus” to rerelease his original Star Wars films in 3D.
Since Joel Murphy and Lars hate 3D effects and are tired of Lucas’ greed, you can imagine how nonplussed they are about Hollywood’s obsession with the third-dimension. They also aren’t too pleased with Noodles and Company and criminals posing as Batman.
What would Joel and Lars do with a million dollars? Is Noodles and Company a fast food establishment or a restaurant? Why does Hayden Christensen sound like James Earl Jones when inside the Darth Vader suit? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

I can’t watch 3-D. It makes me ill. I can barely handle IMAX. Plus I’m just resentful of 3-D movies. Just what we need: more re-releases done up with some fancy gimmick.
And “metherang!?” Oh, man, I shouldn’t have laughed as much as I did at that.
Regarding Haiti: NPR put out a pretty good list of charities to support who have people on the ground in Haiti. If I’d actually listened to last week’s show, I could have passed along that info. Most trusted among those kinds of charities seem to be Doctors without Borders and Partners in Health.
I’m so glad you’ve started playing music again. This week’s pick was amazing.
