Sell-Out (n.): see George Lucas


My favorite Metacritic blurbs this morning:


"The Clone Wars is the last nail in a coffin that has been propped up ever since George Lucas sold his creative soul in the quest for a few more pieces of gold." - James Berardinelli, ReelViews


"At what point might animators be arrested for doing work so ugly it causes aesthetic blindness in millions of younglings?" - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune


"The whole thing feels like a continuation of Lucas' experiments to see how much sh-- his dwindling supporters will take before finally saying "enough" and moving on to adult pursuits." - Pete Vonder Haar, Film Threat


Don't mistake this next statement as joking or affectionate:


George Lucas, you filthy, filthy whore.

Pete Vonder Haar's comment is my favorite by far. I think saying that George Lucas sold out might be an understatement. The whore terminology seems a little more fitting.

Another gem: "When George Lucas last pulled off an original idea for a feature film, Bill Clinton was still thought of by many voters as overweight and chaste."-Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer
