THX-1138 Finally Coming to DVD
OMM0000 writes "George Lucas' first film, THX 1138 is finally coming to DVD. They've also launched a new site, as USA Today reports. As webmaster of a certain THX-1138 fan site (which will remain nameless to avoid slashdotting), this is excellent news. For all of you lamenting the Star Wars prequels, be sure to see where Lucas' roots in filmmaking are."
If it were an extended edition where Lucas adds, say a few more minutes to it to give it a bit more sense in the end, I think he would do us a favour.
Thats the problem with todays generation. You are all a bunch of pabulum gobbling, no-imagination wastes of space, who wouldnt spot an original idea if it ran you over in the middle of the road in broad daylight.
THX1138 is totally about YOU, watching COPS, WWE, FOX news and endless humorless TV "comedy". You think its OK for everyone to be forced to wear ID, you have no concept of what the word "justice" means, and you attend shcools which are nothing more than zombie making machines.
The paralells between today and THX 1138 are simply astonishing. From the Samos-7 car, to the fake religion, to the shopping mall with piped Clear Channel music and finally ending with the masses of zombie sheeple like you, I am sad to report, George Lucas predicted modern America with frightening accuracy.
And you are the proof.
"Why is this OT?"
Because the mods haven't realised that Lucas has put Greebo, Jar-Jar, Yoda and a bunch of other computer-generated 'Star Wars' characters into this movie so he can claim that it was always part of his 'vision'.
Just like he's adding fart jokes and Jabba the Hut to the Super-Duper Edition of 'American Graffiti' and replacing the car race with pod racing.
