May 28, 1980: George Lucas tells Rolling Stone that movie folks are "rather sleazy, unscrupulous people. L.A. is where they make deals, do business in the classic corporate American way, which is screw everybody and do whatever you can to make the biggest profit. "They don't care about people. It is incredible the way they treat filmmakers, because they have no idea what making a movie is about. To them, the deal is the movie." … Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” has a big opening in a limited release, taking in more than $600,000 [$1,541,985.35 USD 2009] in the first four days. … And Warner Bros. is planning a musical based on "Tiger Beat." Kim Friedman has been signed to direct, with a script by Mark Kudlow and Larry Kaplan, The Times says. |

Gosh, I feel so sorry for George. Those big meanies who don’t know how to make a movie (a hundred years of contrary evidence notwithstanding). This is one tough town, maybe the toughest and has broken bigger and stronger men than George. In fact, before he decamped to Skywalker Ranch in the gentle environs of Marin County, didn’t he get his leg up over at Universal?

Apparently if your name is George, and you’re a filmmaker, you keep making the same movie over and over again.
If the last name is Romero, it’s Zombieville. If it’s Lucas, it’s Warring Stars.
And on the subject of sleazy, Mr. Lucas has a habit of paying his underlings near minimum wages for the pleasure of working for him.

Lucas was right and still is.
