as i said before, this is not ILM or George Lucas, gang. this is a foreign scam that thankfully is a fitting failure. Lucas is not responsible for this sad sewer flush. it is foreign bacteria who now runs ILM sadly. as i understand it , there is nothing but terror at ILM under the reign of the ex re...

what an awful film. poor old Heath , God rest his soul, was quite obviously stoned out of his mind for most shots. also, when did Batman's voice start to sound like Ella Fitzgerald during her Memorex Cassette Tape commercial days ?. bloody film was too long as well. i suppose i was off to a bad star...

agreed. Letteri and i were responsible for the 1st "jump" admittedly. it just got worse every version. now the latest version looks like the broad running the place.

Stars Wars "jumped the shark" during Return, in my view

ok guys, who authorized the use of Pez candy dispensers to make a star wars movie ?. what an embarrassment. who the hell is running ILM now, Willie Wonka ?

spaz

great film. favreau , is a great new responsible effects director.

that's even stupider. i was referring to the animated tv series. it reminds me of this abusive little blurb a guy did at ILM years back.

ok, either i've been sleeping for a decade or 2 or i could have just swore that i saw a version of Star Wars that looks like it was done in Lego ?.

Lucas is actually a very nice normal American guy who loves hamburgers and fries. the problem is , that his "regular guy" film ambition ignited an apparent religion and attracted a staff of deacons composed of hermaphroditic failed ice-cream salesman. Lucasfilm/ILM was born of mavericks. the maveric...

cheers Ben. sorry for all the "sith" crap. i was afraid of this very thing happening to VFX films after we did Jurassic, which was the beginning of the end it seemed. i know this sounds backwards, but think of Spielbergs traditional story telling methodology. he typically does in depth character dev...

ok gang, i know i'm a little late on the topic... 3 years or so, but , i finally saw revenge of the sith or seth or whoever the hell it is. what the hell was that ?. all i can say is "money does not buy happiness". apart from the fact that the color lookup tables as converted from the sony p24 were ...

have any of you guys seen a film called "I Am David" made in about 2003 about an English kid who (for some reason) escaped a Bulgarian work camp in 1952 ?. great, emotional film. yeah, i know this is the Rata site, but who cares. talking about another good film on this site seems fine.

Rata, like most of Bird's work, is like Le nozze di Figaro. naturally, it is accompanied by a Salieri(s).

killed a 10 banger rattle snake with a hockey stick today. nasty bugger. one of the dogs cornered it. gorgeous design, a rattle snake. it's the 5th one i've killed in the last 10 years. i'm not really proud of it though but i can't have them around so close to the house with kids and dogs. the first...
