George Lucas calls Spider-Man 3 'silly'

What does this have to do with Spider-man 3 again?

Considering the topic is about George Lucas being a hypocritical *****ebag by passing judgement on a movie when he's just as guilty of the crime of turning a movie into something more monumentally silly with extraneous additions to make your original movies fit your prequels' continuity instead of making the prequels fit the original's continuity, it's rather apt to illustrate how Lucas should not be calling anything silly like he were some benevolent Hollywood dictator by citing examples of silliness in his own product line. Am I making this clear enough for you? I guess by your user name, we should all expect that you will be defending Lucas so I don't even know why I'm spending all this time trying to make myself clear since you will reject everything I pose as evidence against Lucas.
 
Calling something silly = benelovent hollywood dictator? :whatever: This is so overblown. It was a joke. Does a wink mean nothing? Hell yeah Star wars is silly!
It's not very wise to judge people by their username. I dont care about any evidence for or against George Lucas. I had enough of that and I've learned to respect other peoples opinions. I'm not here to defend or reject but just to wonder why people are talking about this in the first place. It has nothing to do with the movie Spider-man 3 and everything to do with an opportunity for bitter Star Wars fans/ex-fans hate for Lucas and the people defending the movies to waste space saying the same arguments over and over.
 
But she knew she was adopted, yet answered untruthfully.

Really? Just how do you know that? I guess I must have missed that in all the hundreds of times I've seen ROTJ.


Did you just type "plot hole definition" in yahoo and go to the frist link?

Here ya go:

A plot hole is a gap in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic set-up by the plot. Plot holes are usually seen as weaknesses and flaws in a story, and writers try to avoid them (except in certain deliberate circumstances) to make their stories seem as realistic and lifelike as possible.

Pretty interesting, thought I must say they give many examples and Star Wars in not even in there. I'm not saying the films don't have any, but most of the ones you've picked are not plot holes.

Its funny because its true.

LOL, Really? So a Jedi can just use the force huh? No training is required to control it? You really know you stuff man, your a genius! :whatever:

Did you even read what I said? But I guess you also missed the sarcasm when I said "power up".

Yeah I read what you wrote, did you read what I wrote? When you're trying to prove a point and you choose to talk like that it's very hard to take anything you said seriously.

And thank you for proving my point. The movie was lacking and we aren't talking about the books.

Proving your point? What point? That books are better? The move was lacking? I guess you missed what I said. The SW books are the same story, just more in depth. It's not like Jurassic Park were the book and the movie have so many differences.

Flustered. My point still stands. No one is stupid enough to stand there while someone does all that, especially someone who was already stalemating that person and his master just seconds ago in a fight.

Flustered? Why, becasue you've never had anyone challenge you before?

Alright, so let me get this straight... You think that it's unbeliveable that Darth Maul (who had the advantage) did nothing while Obi Wan jumped in the air, grabbed a lightsaber, flipped over his head, landed, and cut him in half? Right so far? Yet, you also think that it's unbeliveable that Obi Wan (who had the advantage) beat Anakin when he jumped in the air and flipped over his head? Right? They are the same thing only with a differnet outcome. If you look at the end of those two fight scenes they are set up the same way. Now your just contradicting yourself. What would you be beliveable to you?

Again my sarcasm escapes you.

All logic escapes you.

No. But again, they could have made the scene believable. The way Obi defeated him defys all logic.

*See above.

So your now telling me the movies suck without reading an outside source?

Nope, you are saying that.

flustered. This was my intentional link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoda
But thats in the past now. The point I established is Yoda is ranked higher than Windu.

Congratulations! You did some research. Too bad you sent me a website that can be edited my any one on the planet. I could change that page to say Yoda has Super Saiyan powers. For all I know you wrote that page.

Here ya go, read boy!

What? When he turns into Vader. I remember. The whole "Nooooo" line messed that scene up. Oh! Your talking about when he became very angry and defeated Dooku. Even though in this same argument you said the force and power ups have nothing to do with SW. Brilliant.

Again, you act like a child... I never said the force has nothing to do with SW. Talk to anyone and they will tell you both Anakin and Luke used the Dark Side in thoes scenes. Keep using that word "power up", your really driving your point home. :whatever:

So I'm supposed to come up with the most logical way that something that is hard to understand happens in the story because theres a gap/hole in the plot that doesn't cover it. A plothole if you will?

You had questions about parts in the films that didn't make sense to you. When you have questions about a film or anything else for that matter, IMO you sould do some reading, some research or whatever it takes to answer your questions. Aleast that's what I do but that's just me. You didn't care to do anything that would involve reading so to you they are "plot holes" and that's fine, but don't expect others to share your views and not challenge you when they don't.

Again. I'm flattered.

Really? Your flattered that I think your young, inexperienced and not very smart?

Yes I'm going to do my super ninjas trainings and *** backs to kick ur butts. ..... No seriously. You realize why these are considered plotholes or actually I'll call the fight scenes inconsistencies for a better term? Because the person with even the smallest knowledge of sword fighting can figure out how ludicris some of these scenarios are. A guy is seriously going to watch someone flip over their head, land and slice them in half without even reacting? Give me a break. A guy who severely owned someone you lost to is going to beat you later despite no change in skill or power? Thats ridiculous. Nothing against SW, but I already know it has its share of faults which makes it so ironic that Lucas would say what he said.

and yet again you act like a child...

Do you have any training with a sword? I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Once again, You think that it's unbeliveable that Darth Maul (who had the advantage) did nothing while Obi Wan jumped in the air, grabbed a lightsaber, flipped over his head, landed, and cut him in half. Yet, you also think that it's unbeliveable that Obi Wan (who had the advantage) beat Anakin when he jumped in the air and flipped over his head? This coming from the guy who watches DBZ, which by your diffention is the most unbeliveable cartoon on the face of the earth and has more holes than a golf course.

The really funny thing about this is that it's not even about what Lucas said anymore. You've proven that you have no basis for your arguements and that you contradict yourself. You've proved nothing. The only holes you've found are Liea talkng about her mother in ROTJ. There is no need to go any futher with this.
 
he is not lying, i deff think this was the worst of the trilogy, not to say that it was all bad it just wasn't great
 
It was the weakest movie in this franchise yes, but trust me, I have seen much, much worse comicbook adaptions! Try doing a Youtube search for the live action Devilman movie based upon the iconic horror/action adventure Anime/Manga of the same name. Dear God that is one movie that has stuck with me, and not in a good way I might add. You want a pointlessly tedious movie, just watch it! I predict you'll be begging to watch Spider-man 3 afterwards.
 
Calling something silly = benelovent hollywood dictator?

Look, you are being a blind Lucas apologist here. This is the man who keeps stuffing his overbloated slaughtering of the Original Trilogy on those of us who just want the unaltered theatrical prints, warts and all. He finally released them after fans like myself clamored for it. If that's not a benevolent dictator, I don't know what is. I am through trying to reason with you who cannot see the reality of who George Lucas really is, who is mystified by him. He's just an egotistocal blowhard who's a hypocritical control freak. Go watch Howard the Duck and tell me he's not delved into the stupidly silly. I'll take Spidey 3 over his crap any day.
 
Yeah, I like Spidey and Star Wars, and I think it was clear that Lucas was joking around in the original quote.

Some fanboys are just itchin' for a fight...
 
Well well worse than 4 others (episode I is his worswt).

Actually in retrospect he should love SM3. Lots of good CGI, as the prequels show that's all he cares about. Okay Sam uses CGI to create one of the most moving effects shots in history with the birth of Sandman. Jackson uses it to create one of the great characters in literary and cinema history with Gollum. Lucas uses it to give us Jar Jar Binks.

I rest my case.
 
I think Episode 1 was the worst. Episode 2 doesn't trail far behind it. Episode 3 is the best IMO. The older episodes don't even begin to compare with the newer ones.

In goodness or badness?
 
Well you have to admit Lucas is an expert in the Silly department.
 
this from the creater of episode 2

WTF? Hahaha! You didn't even read my post! Why would I tell you he's not delved into the stupidly silly when I'm certain that he has?!
How can I be a blind Jucas apologist when I didn't even praise him?
I just now told you that I think Star Wars is silly! I agree with you! It's cool with me that you dislike the guy for those reasons. It really is. Although I dont share your hatred, it is a very vaild point of view and it makes complete sense for people to hate his guts for those reasons. I have no issue with that.(Although using the word belevovent with the word dictator doesn't make much sense considering it means characterized by or expressing goodwill or kindly feelings. I dont know of many dictators in history that can be describled in that way) You said because he called Spider-man 3 silly it makes him a benelovent hollywood dictator. If I called Spider-man 3 silly would that make me a benelovent...etc? I love Spider-man 3, I love Star Wars. I think you replyed to the wrong person and have me confused with someone else.
 
Actually I took history class this year and no dictator in history ever offered his people ANY kind of unaltered Star Wars DVDs. So I guess Lucas is not one.
 
It's funny that of all people George Lucas would say something like that,and especially after George refused to use the Frank Darabont script for Indy 4.
 
LOL!! George Lucas himself saying that Spider-Man is silly! Next he'll be saying there was too much CGI, haha.

Idiot.

Like I said in the Non-Spoiler thread of the same topic, this is coming from the guy who was the mastermind behind Howard the Duck. He has no place calling anything silly, or maybe he does considering Howard the Duck defines silly in a very painful way.
