George Lucas plans to quit making blockbuster movies.
Too bad he waited till after he unleashed The Phantom Menace on the world.
All right, so Phantom Menace jokes are old and Lucas co-created the Indiana Jones series. Who doesn't enjoy Indiana Jones? Between him and that Other Bearded Wunderkind, they pretty much perfected the Art of The Blockbuster and were it not for them, our summer vacations would be less memorable.
And lest we forget, Lucas also helped produce Kurosawa's Kagemusha.

Hey did you work in TOI in your previous life? How do you find such titles of your blog posts? :))
actually it is very good, very funny, not like TOI at all!
... and in some weird cosmic way, "kagemusha" = "phantom menace".
LOL, Alok, you were beginning to worry me :)) Just kidding.
TR, doggone it, you must have finished your Ovaltine as a kid. Even though Kagemusha = Shadow Warrior, it could be interpreted as Phantom Menace. Very clever.
you know, if I had half the sense of humour as you have, I wouldn't be so lonely ;)
