I'm watching the "Making Of" feature on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...
It starts with Spielberg fighting Lucas over the course of several years on the idea of aliens being in the film, then Spielberg finally just giving up when Lucas "compromises" by changing it from aliens to inter-dimensional beings.
We were watching Godfather II last night, and when they got to the end where "old" Michael is sitting there alone, my wife said, "Well, now we know that's not what old Al Pacino looks like."
I told her that scenes like that must kill George Lucas. He would've reshot that scene with today's Pacino and fucked up every Godfather II DVD available. Fuck, he'd go back and replace Brando with with today's DeNiro.
The prequel would also introduce J.J. Binks, the lovable but clumsy hit man who accidentally makes his bones by tripping an opposing button man into a vat of olive oil.

The Godfather is not to be joked about. Take it back...or else.
"How can you joke after what we all witnessed? A friend, was raped, and we just sat there and watched it. I can't live with that anymore. Somebody has to do something."

If George Lucas ever touches The Godfather in any way, shape or form, I will have to kill him.
And no jury in the world would convict me.
Funny you should mention Lucas in the same sentence as Godfather. He had a couple of minor contibutions to the making of the movie.
And he came up with the idea of using the "leftover" frames to build the spooky "something's about to happen" scene when Michael visits Don Vito at the hospital.
George's wife (at the time) Marcia edited the audition footage, as I recall. She was the one who told Coppola to cast Pacino because, as she put it, "He undresses you with his eyes."

Women like that, do they?

Really. I've been undressing women with my eyes for decades. So far I've been cast as "Asshole", "That Creepy Guy", and "My Eyes are Up Here."
Ah-ha! My memory is correct. Here's a clip from the excellent documentary that's included in the GODFATHER trilogy DVD set. You should watch it all, but if you're short on time, the Marcia Lucas line pops up at about the four-minute mark.
George Lucas has pledged his future to "avant-garde" filmmaking.
While the Star Wars creator had previously suggested that he was retiring, he has now clarified that he instead he plans to go back to his roots, making films in the style of American Graffiti.
Lucas told Metro:
Quote:
I keep telling everyone I'm sort of retiring, but I'm really going back to where I started, which is sort of more avant-garde filmmaking.
"I've made enough money so I can finance it all myself. I don't have to worry or answer to anybody and I can just do whatever I want."
Of his 3D conversion of Star Wars prequel The Phantom Menace, which hits cinemas tomorrow (February 9), he added: "Moving from 2D to 3D is like the difference between watching a film in black and white and watching a film in colour. It works in black and white but it works better in colour."

George Lucas just insulted black and white and color movies.

Why, George? Why?!
God, you're a fucking nerd.
