Well for one thing, I used the Beatles & James Dean to help illustrate my views on Lucas. Whether or not you personally have respect for the Beatles & James Dean has nothing to do with the points I was trying to make by using them as examples. You belittled the examples, which really served no purpose in your arguments. I was trying to prove that point by doing the same in regards to Dean Martin. My comment about obscure references had nothing to do with Dean Martin (at least not intentionally). I was referring to the fact that if I referred to some obscure artistic pillar of integrity, no one would know who I was referring to, hence the Beatles & James Dean references. As a side note, there is a very famous jazz standard entitled "Lush Life". It was written by Billy Strayhorn. Why would I make something like that up? xxxxxxxx

: I used references to things that you brought up. Except for the SNL thing.
: I guess I haven't seen enough posts where people are bashing Lucas. I'm sure they're there, I just don't read them. I do feel that his involvement with TOD hindered the movie a great deal. Be kind of a boring place if everyone was here to stroke Lucas, Speilberg, or Ford's back. If someone has an opinion about the movies, good or bad, I think it's interesting to get ALL points of view. I for one can't say that Indy 4 is gonna be good or bad. If we go by the track record of lately with all those involved though, I'm a bit worried about it. But then again, I'm at a job that doesn't pay well and they're gettin' paid the big bucks to make these movies. Obviously they know or knew something I don't. Or better yet, LAdy luck just hasn't winked my way - YET.
: As for gettin an angry response out of me with your Dino comment, don't worry, ain't gonna happen. That's your opinion- let me repeat that, O-P-I-N-I-O-N that those are other singers were better. I disagree. Doesn't make me mad. (Just means I have better taste, I'm kidding) And if there was a song called 'Lush Life' I'm sure ol' red eyes woulda sang it. Not a good dig there, bud. Actually his singnature song (in the clubs) was 'Bourban from Heaven.' You see, he was playing the part of a drunk. That was his ACT. Acting. That's where people kind of pretend. If you really think that he was as much a booze hound in real life as he was on stage . . . think outside of the box, big man. Fact, not opinion - he was one of the most successful entertainers ever to grace the planet. He tackled radio, TV, movies (comedy and drama) and stage. Not to many entertainers can claim that. He couldn't be that and the businessman he was and be the falling down drunk that everyone loved to see him play in his night club act.
: Do you know Anthony Hopkins doesn't really eat people? Just checking.
