    That guy was great in Ted. Also Dune is more real then any Ayn Rand work.

    I think Atlas Shrugged would be better off as a Mini-Series on TV. Of course you need better writing.

    I recently saw the first one and :zzz: ..... huh...... :calli: what? I'm sorry, just thinking of the movie causes me to fall asleep.......

    That, hopefully for your sake, makes the movie no different than the book and marks it as a faithful adaptation.

    Actually, no. Alec Guinness was a "big star" long before he ever did Star Wars. The only reason he agreed to do Star Wars was because he got a sweetheart deal (a percentage of the box office) and it more than made up for the huge amount of taxes he was having to pay to England at the time.

    You don't. Ford had been working steadily since '66, and had worked with Lucas on American Graffiti a few years prior to makking Star Wars.

    Carrie Fisher was Princess Leia. My Halloween fantasy girl from 1977 until 1982. Numerous neighbors obliged me. Nothing more needs to be said. :brood::bergman:
