New Lucasfilm Campus Breaks Ground at Presidio

GuyMannDude writes "Lucasfilm has broken ground on the new $300 million special effects campus that he hopes will help San Francisco rival Hollywood as a producer of movie magic. Some see the project as a way for the Presidio (a national park) to become economically self-sufficient while critics claim that level of commercialization is unnecessary."

    Dear Apple,

    I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

    with much gayness,

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.

    The effects for ep 1 + 2 were technically great, but it seemed the effects were used too much and created a very synthetic fake universe which didn't have the grit of the original Star Wars.

    Much like your post, you nerdy literary critic you.

    In the sunny suburb of Miramar, no less. I just wish Peter Jackson would do something similar here in Wellington, I'd sign up in a second (and then, no doubt, be turned away in a similar time frame).
