I just got some Pizza Rolls in the mail...

Nuts, was hoping the bump was for a new review.

Another one is about due, a new review from Plinkett comes along roughly every 6 months. ROTS review came out last December, the Cop Dog review came out this past June, and I am guessing that the review for Kingdom of the Crystal skull is coming sometime this month...(I hope).

I assumed Half In the Bag would sorta supplant those... or at least put a major delay on it. I'll take what I can get whenever I can get it. As long as I don't hafta pay. (Hm... That should totally be my slogan).

I just hope your customers don't make it their slogan.

Well... if they do, I need an excuse to get a new job anyway.

They did have about a month's break between Half in the Bag episodes, and between them, they did put out an update saying that they were taking the time to work on other projects.  I'm hoping it's another video review.  Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls would be a pretty rich vein to tap, I think.

I would totally pay for a DVD of the Plinkett ROTS review, but I think Lucasfilm would finally fire their sue cannons on RLM.

Why haven't Rifftrax invited Plinkett (or Stoklasa) to be a guest riffer for Howard the Duck yet? Don't they want to fuck the pain away?

i think when it comes to guests, the rifftrax policy is to not invite anybody who might turn out to be funnier than they are.

Indeed, I mean who doesn't want to spend a night in Megan's Foxhole? Who doesn't want to dock their boat in Natalie's Port, man?

[Watchman]

Who doesn't want to dock their boat in Natalie's Port, man?

Gay males who don't own yachts?

(That's really lame. Time to hammer myself. )

Actually, I think Gunflyer is much more deserving of that hammering for dragging that feeble Portman joke out for the fiftieth time.

True. Natalie Portman jokes should at least involve stuffing & wormhole portals.

Barnes, I don't know what's more bizarre, that I've used it 50 times(which I doubt) or that you've been keeping count. I never knew you cared.

Well, it's pretty hard to miss, like a fucking neck goiter.

While we're waiting for a new Half In The Bag, I found an article on Cracked that's good complimentary reading alongside the People Vs George Lucas episode:

6 Pop Culture Visionaries Who Get Too Much Credit

#5. Star Wars: George Lucas

Here's the general pop culture consensus on George Lucas: He sucks now, but he once wrote and directed the first Star Wars trilogy, which makes him another innovative, rebellious filmmaker whose creative fire has tragically guttered out.
But here's the truth: Lucas couldn't lose it because he never had it.

Who Actually Deserves the Credit:
First things first: Lucas absolutely was the brilliant mastermind behind the Star Wars movie ... prequels. I through III? That was all Lucas. But IV through VI? The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were directed by Irv Kershner and Richard Marquand, respectively, and both screenplays were written by Lawrence Kasdan. But that still leaves Lucas as the writer/director of Episode IV, right? That's the big one: The Star Wars that put the "Star Wars" in Star Wars.

But A New Hope wasn't entirely Lucas, either: A fellow USC film grad, Gary Kurtz, who first collaborated with Lucas on his breakthrough film, American Graffiti, was producer for both Star Wars and Empire. Kurtz did more than an ordinary producer, however: Beyond running the day-to-day operations of the films, Kurtz also ended up coaching the actors (which is, technically speaking, the director's job).

Even minor characters like C-3PO weren't the juice of Lucas' mindgrapes. Lucas originally wanted 3PO to be an "oily, car salesman type" rather than our lovably gay robot butler friend. If that character archetype sounds familiar, that's because Lucas would later get his sleazy salesman in The Phantom Menace, in the shape of the flying anti-Semitic stereotype, Watto. The actually likeable, not-racist version of C-3PO that we know today was largely thanks to Anthony Daniels. Daniels was originally hired as just a mime inside the gold suit, with someone else providing the voice-over. But actor Stan Freberg convinced Lucas to not use a different voice and stick with Daniels -- which is particularly remarkable since Freberg was one of the actors considered to replace Daniels' voice. That's right: A struggling actor actually had to step up and sacrifice his own livelihood just to kill one of Lucas' terrible ideas.

The man is like the original sin of filmmakers.

Lucas is a far better businessman than film maker.

Lucas is a far better businessman than film maker.

Agreed, and I think he proved this beyond a shadow of a doubt when he took the reins all by himself and made on of the biggest, most expensive, most disappointing pieces of shit in the history of cinema. The man is downright dangerous when left to his own devices.
