Kid does what he has to do.
And what he has to do makes a little "thwup" sound.
Heck, I don't see why you don't just hire John Ke Quan again. Make him some kind of expatriated Chinese rebel or something, set the movie in China, maybe about the ashes of Nurhaci, that was a neat throwaway in Temple. Short Round and Mutt can have conflicting father issues. Maybe smooth over the Red Scare weirdness of the last one.
A white, land owning male who doesn't understand why everyone is so upset at him.
But it's an entirely different explanation than it was after the Special Edition. Out of nowhere, he changed the way the scene played out because he didn't like the character implication. Weird, but whatever. Then he changes it again. And this time, he says he ALWAYS meant to do it that way. I'm not sure he's trying to placate anyone with this.
I'm not sure Lucas ever listened to his fans. He shifted from listening to his own imagination to the deafening roar of a million wallets full of cash, not much in between.
Blade Runner has gotten recut three ways from Sunday, and nobody seems to mind.
Yeah, *recut*. Not tweaked, polished, poked and prodded every six years. Every recut felt like a substantial change intended to improve the narrative and flow of the film, not pedantic fiddling on a product nobody had a problem with. The Blade Runner narration was abysmal. No one noticed that the Ewoks didn't blink.
These also make for great custom alarm clock chimes, especially when you don't mind being deeply unsettled for the rest of the day.
It certainly does more with Batman's body reassembly power than most of the actual comics.
Banzai Bill?
Oates, Every, Miller, Franklin and Fawcett are all in dire need of grand biopics. There's a pretty massive dearth of adventure and exploration in modern media, and I don't think cramming zombies and Lovecraftian monstrosities is the best fix.
I mean, where's my $120 million-budgeted two parter on Captain Cook's expedition? Or the Livingston expeditions?
But... there already is a Safety Not Guaranteed trailer. Voiceover by the late Don LaFontaine, too.
late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon
For a second, I was wondering who killed Jimmy Fallon.
I really want to respond with a YTMND joke, but it's been so long since I've been there that I don't remember any.
Break these cuffs, maybe?
I don't know why they'd even try to top Ron's...
Man, I've been waiting for this forever. Some things were a little wonky in the execution, sure, but that's what happens in shorts.
Make sure you watch through the credits, there are little snippits of action I guess they decided they couldn't make mesh with the rest.
Oh, and if you were wondering, Aaron Sims is working on getting this the full feature treatment.

That Archetype short io9 plugged a while back came out today. I really hope they do something with this, and hire Joe Haldeman to write the dialogue. #observationdeck
Dammit, I've had that dream before. It's absolutely horrible to wake up from.
At least he's better than the famous comedian Arnold Braunschweiger.
Man, it's a pretty sad Quest for Fire parody that doesn't make a single Ron Perlman gag...
You're surprised? Childish nationalism (with a dash of nuclear paranoia) is why we went to the moon the first time.
