Last week's Movie Quiz winners

George Lucas on the set of American Graffiti, from Bo Hopkins' webpage.

Every time I see something about George Lucas-- which, with the impending Star Wars conclusion, is far too often-- I find myself thinking again, How could such a dull, humorless guy have made a movie as funny as American Graffiti? You can�t give the cast too much credit, because apart from this film, they haven�t been very funny, either. But most of them can be funnier than George-- I just cringe every time I see another Lucas story coming my way, for fear that I�ll have to read or hear something he says, and he�s already bored me past the breaking point.

The guy is impossible to avoid, though: within the last few days, there have been "news" about his upcoming Star Wars TV series, his appearance at a fan-con and on the Fox series The O.C., and even a reverential webpage where his followers can post their own tributes.

As for American Graffiti, if you're reading this weblog, you don't need me to tell you anything about this movie. So congrats and a ride home on New Year's Eve with John Milner to the following: Steve Perry, Corey Anderson, Wayne A. Palmer, Eric Yarber, Mark Gisleson, Steven Jay Gellert, Hank Parmer, Joe Rosenberg, and Evan Cook.
