P.S., that decision by Universal is about the same level of brain damage as CBS’s “No, we aren’t interested in your ‘Star Trek’. We already have a sci-fi program.” (that would be “Lost In Space”).

>>> They’re still marketing that stuff and George still gets his healthy cut.

Yep… and that would be why he’s a billionaire.

He, Spielberg, and Cameron are pretty much the Triumvirate that rule Hollywood from the front (others of equal power do so behind the scenes, of course)

I write about what happens to interest me to write about, and about which I think I might have something distinctive to say.

You’d think this was YOUR blog or something, NeoCon, and not created to pander to whatever interests US.

Now I’m going to go have a moment of silence over the fact that Harrison Ford’s image easily suits the cover of AARP, and that he is no longer the Han Solo (or even the Indiana Jones) of my all-too-long-ago youth.

Yep, the “American Graffiti”–Lordy–poster promo line was,”Where were you in ’62..?” Which really made it my generation. 1962 Glendale High(So.Calif)grad. I was a 29-year old at Universal at the time and saw the movie at a pre-release studio screening in Century City, across the plaza from the Playboy Club. Whew…! Lucas and some friends, colleagues were in the back row and knew he had a winner from the reaction. Universal–DUMMIES–turned down his pitch for his next project,”Star Wars”, and Fox bought it…He made a killer merchandise deal as an ‘unimportant’ part of the contract…Can you imagine..? They’re still marketing that stuff and George still gets his healthy cut.
Seeing Suzanne Somers in the white ’57 T-Bird non-speaking role…Today, May 19th, is my 68th birthday…What a journey,’Yo!

I watched “American Graffiti” last night with a VERY young Harrison Ford, Ron Howard, Richard Dryfuss and others. Wow! Where did time go? Still love that movie! (And personally I like the occasional “frivolous” posts to lighten the mood.

N-Neo…Had to smile when I saw the rugged, handsome ‘coot, Harrison, smiling from your post. Late last night after our Rays lost to Atlanta in a cross league game, I channel surfed on to,”American Graffiti”(1973) about half-hour into the pic. Probably been 30-years since I last saw it…Gawd, what Fun! Anyway, young George Lucas cast young Harrison in a small but very noticeable part as a tough, funny hot-rod street racer with a smart-talkin’ girlfriend riding shotgun…It was head-turning enough for Lucas to cast him in his ‘break out part’ in his second feature,”Star Wars”. And, OFF he went..!

Artfldgr: you know, a goodly number of my posts are purposely rather frivolous and/or trivial, meant to entertain, amuse, or just shed light on some aspect of life that has little or nothing to do with politics. I make no apologies for it, am in fact happy to do it, and will continue to do it. And there are plenty of more serious topics and probably more important topics that I don't cover. I'm not an encyclopedia of news, or a comprehensive wire service. I write about what happens to interest me to write about, and about which I think I might have something distinctive to say.

You know, my wife tells me I look like Ford. And I was born in Will’s Oklahoma. And, Indigo Red, I’m a little bit Cherokee.

I have no idea what any of that means.

That picture of Will Rogers looks a little too Hitler-like for my taste. I guess that was a common hairstyle back then. And that little (mustache-like) divot on his upper lip doesn’t help.
