It was fun, in the olden days, where you literally didn't know a movie existed until it showed up. Oh, you MIGHT see a trailer, but only if you happened to go to the theater the week it was running.

Re: #44 - Disney Buys Lucasfilm

To be fair though, before the Internet there were film magazines, which usually got the scoop on upcoming film projects. So it's not like big projects were genuinely surprising. I remember excitedly reading articles and seeing pictures (granted, only 3 or 4) for Independence Day about half a year before it came out.

The Matrix was the last film I distinctly remember appearing from literally out of nowhere, seeing trailers for it in a New York hotel a week before it came out.

PJ could've simply asked Christopher Lee about that.

Everything in English comes from somewhere, and we don't respell them the way most languages do, and that is why English spelling is so terrible.  sad

Re: #44 - Disney Buys Lucasfilm

English spellings tend to change down the centuries as well, causing further confusion.

And I believe that dwarf in the clip above pronounces Smaug correctly. It's definitely more of an ow sound than aw, and not at all smog, so sayeth the BBC adaptation and various Tolkien lecturer's I've heard.

Cuarón is my favorite director and if he is announced for Episode 7 I may seriously burst into tears, I'll be so overwhelmed with excitement.

I agree but I don't own any of the Star Wars films but I'd happily buy the OOT on Blu Ray. smile
