The People Vs. George Lucas trailer, you guys:

All adults! Everyone in this movie is a fully grown adult complaining about children’s movies. I’m surprised they had time to sit down for a talking-heads interview. Aren’t they worried someone’s going to outbid them for that plywood BTTFII hoverboard?

Look, everyone loved Star Wars when they were 8, and everyone thinks that Jar Jar Binks is terrible. But if you have time to rotoscope a lightsaber into a video of you standing in your living room wearing a homemade Emperor’s cloak, then you have time to emotionally adjust yourself to living in a world made up of non-galactic human beings and adult responsibility. Rotoscope yourself a job.

  1. Is “George Lucas Raped Our Childhood” available on iTunes? A musical triumph.

    Star Wars nerds mostly DO have jobs and they are mostly boring jobs (like the rest of us have) and they need their escapist entertainment (like the rest of us do). So when the biggest, most eagerly anticipated form of escapism they have going for them FAILS HUGELY, they feel betrayed and angry. (Analogy: If Videogum suddenly turned into Perez Hilton, I would make a documentary called The People vs. Gabe & Lindsay. No I wouldn’t.)

  3. All of the Star Wars movies should be nominated for The Hunt

  4. Is anyone else over the moon with the bumper crop of bolo ties in recent videos? I fuckin’ LOVE IT.

  5. How many of those people do you think had pocket protectors in their shirts or costumes?

    NERD-ZING!

  6. Hahahaha, “margaritas” are the fanciest drink in the universe.

    The time has come to set aside childish things.

    No one else is psyched that this movie apparently features MC Frontalot???

    I hate Star Wars, but I love that man.
