I can't wait to see this movie.

Yeah, dammit, this trailer got my hopes up again.

I was just wondering...

I think this movie might redeem all the fluff from the last two movies.

Fuck you George Lucas.  Fuck you for stealing so heavily from Kurosawa and fuck you for making me interested in the third film after being let down the last two times.   ... of course I'll see it... but fuck you anyway.

Pffft, who didn't steal from Kurosawa? Sergio Leone did too, and you don't hear people crying about that? Quentin Tarantino borrowed quite heavily as well. I think it should serve as a compliment to Kurosawa's skills that he is so often imitated.

Few as heavily as Lucas.  You can find exact shots, lifted from Kurosawa's work.  I don't mind if you retell a story, but don't lift exact shots, man.

Sergio Leone's "A Fistful of dollars" was the EXACT SAME movie as Kurosawa's Yojimbo. Leone didn't put anything in his credits about being inspiried by Kurosawa either.

Sergio Leone's work wasn't mentioned in the -Star Wars- thread before my rant.  I'm not a fan of Magnificent Seven or Fistful of Dollars( or for that matter:  Last Man Standing ).  While they both have great performances from actors and directors, the story isn't original and there's no reason to remake films that are already done in fantastic style.

Well I'm a little concerned with you all getting your undies in a bunch over a movie.

Ha!  I love it!

Oh, and I did see that episode.  And I have "A Fistful of Dollars" on DVD.  I'm sad all around.
