George Lucas Threatens to Re-Release Every Film He’s Had Anything To Do With in 3D

[WhoIsNumberNone]

On the heels of the successful re-release of “Star Wars: Phantom Menace” in 3D, George Lucas has announced plans to re-release every film he’s had anything remotely to do with in 3D. In addition to the other “Star Wars” films, Lucas intends to convert to 3D and re-release “THX 1138,” “American Graffiti,” “More American Graffiti,” “Willow,” “Labyrinth,” “Star Tours,” “Tucker: The Man and His Dream,” “Radioland Murders, ” “Captain EO” and “Howard the Duck.”

One Million Moms, the conservative Christian group that recently announced boycotts of JC Penney for their decision to use the openly gay Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson, and Toys ‘R’ Us for selling an Archie Comic featuring a gay wedding, is outraged by Lucas’ decision to re-release “Howard the Duck,” and plans to call for a nationwide boycott of the film, which includes a love scene between Howard and Lea Thompson’s character.

“It’s so obvious that ‘Howard the Duck’ is another attempt by Hollywood to promote its liberal beliefs, which includes bestiality,” said a spokeswoman for the organization. ”The idea of a new generation of children being exposed to these images of lust between a woman and a duck, especially in 3D, is outrageous. We will not stand for it. Besides it’s a really crappy movie.”

1. You know...

if he gave "Howard the Duck" the same CGI treatment he keeps giving to "Star Wars," it might be watchable.

2. I'm holding out for the Stars Wars Christmas Special in 3D

5. I've still never seen the end of that.

I just can't get through it! I bog down about halfway through, and even if I've had a full night's sleep before trying again, I'm half-asleep once more. It's certainly better than sleeping pills, but you end up with mind-numbingly dull dreams

9. The problem is you're trying to watch it from the beginning each time

try watching it in 20 minute increments. I was 11 and a Star Wars junkie when it came out, and I barely finished it.

Tell you what- Here's the only part worth seeing:

10. It looks like Moebius did that!

I know when I saw the General near the beginning that he looked like one of the elders at the beginning of the Taarna segment of Heavy Metal.

There aren't enough Mobius films. I saw part of this one on YouTube and now it's gone, other than trailers, like this one:

11. I was thinking that too

Stylistically it reminds me a lot of the Heavy Metal movie.

3. I prefer Robot Chicken Star Wars.

6. Who's "they?" What's an aluminum falcon? Do you have any idea what this will do to my credit rating?

4. Wouldn't surprise me if Hollywood (damn capitalist "liberals"!) would come out with

"My Dinner with Andre 3D" ...

7. "My Dinner with Andre" the video game from The Simpsons - there are only three controls:

Bon Mot, Trenchant Insight, and Tell Me More
