That sounded Awesome!!!!! What an event!! The TRAILER kicked ass!!!! I can't imagine a cooler way of seeing the trailer for the first time, then having Lucas himself introduce it!!! YOU ARE THE MAN!
You lucky bastard. by JasBoy	Mar 11th, 1999 12:19:54 PM
Burn in hell, Moriarty!! BURN IN HELL!!! Okay, not really. Nice re-cap of the evening. Thanks.
Moriarty, you lucky bastard. by Pope Buck 1	Mar 11th, 1999 12:38:35 PM
Maybe next year we can get you in again, but with a "Truman-Cam" implanted in one eyeball so you can beam your experience directly to all of us LIVE! PS -- I watched ET last night, but there was nothing about the trailer. Is it going to be tonight? Or have I missed it already?
TRUE LIES 2 in summer 2001 by ABking	Mar 11th, 1999 01:11:36 PM
I guess that means Cameron and Schwarzenegger will have an EVENT summer BLOCKBUSTER with TRUE LIES 2. I'm guessing that's what he'll chose to do. I hope Jim does T3 and TL2 back to back.

digital revolution by L'Auteur	Mar 11th, 1999 03:13:43 PM
What kind of camera is Lucas developing with Sony? I am very curious because I want to know if I should wait a couple years before buying a digital camera. I am currently in the process of accepting the fact that I, a hard-core IBM supporter, have to buy a Mac G3 if I want to be serious about having my own personal movie studio in my bedroom. The digital revolution is here. Whole movie studios can be owned and run for around $5000. I want in on the action, therefore I'm planning on making my next computer a Mac G3 (since the video/graphix are so superior). But the other half of a computer based movie studio is a digital camera. This is a subject [unlike the elitist snobbish ART of film! ;)] that I admit I know nothing about. Does anyone know anything about digital cameras or the "digital revolution?" If Episode 2 is going to be shot on a digital camera (will it be the first?) then that must mean that the cameras are of very high quality. How much do they cost? How much do the "everyman" cameras cost? How good are they really? What are the perks? Let's discuss this instead of STAR WARS. Everyone at this site has a permanent erection for May 19th so there's really no point in elaborating on how hard we are for it. I'm more interested in finding out how the "digital revolution" will help future indie-filmmakers like myself. Also, how will the fact that the cost of film, one of the main costs of movies, is now eliminated from movie budgets affect the Hollywood studio system? We're currently in the biggest technological change since the THE JAZZ SINGER. Movie-making is about to be completely democratized. What can anyone tell me about it?

Avatar would challenge EPISODE ONE by ABking	Mar 11th, 1999 06:29:09 PM
EPISODE ONE'S trailer is so FUCKING AWESOME, BREATH TAKING, WOW... If Cameron gets to make AVATAR, I'm sure it will challenge EPISODE ONE'S special effects though. This doesn't mean I'm saying anything bad, so don't attack me. Man, I'm going to watch the trailer a few hundred times.
A Great Year To Be Movie Lover by mrbeaks	Mar 11th, 1999 08:21:27 PM
I've seen the trailer twice, and am preparing to record them on CNN for further drool inducing viewings. One for the artist, one for the child. God, I love the movies!
Driods and the Trailer by Vincent Vega	Mar 11th, 1999 08:37:52 PM

Those things even cool as fuckin' hell ya'll! The fire at the end, the trialer forced me to go buy two of the toys, because SHIT THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why you won't see Lucas & Williams at a con. by chant	Mar 11th, 1999 09:39:32 PM
Because the answer is so plainly obvious from Moriarty's report from ShoWest: money matters more. Why go to a con? They know the masses will see the film. No, Lucas, Mechanic and Williams know who really matters when it comes to Star Wars: big business. Theater owners. Entertainment executives. The problem is, try telling that to the ones already camping out to see the latest commercial....oh! I mean, trailer!
RE: Great year for movie lovers by Chewbaca	Mar 12th, 1999 02:53:52 AM
I have to agree wholeheatedly with mbreaks heading. This is a fantastic year to be a cinephile. I mean, even beside the obvious: TPM, Eyes Wide Shut, Austin Powers. There is a hole lot coming outh is year. I mean if youre' really honest 98 was a pretty shite movie year, besides for one or two gems. So coooooooome on 99 !!!!!!!!
