Remember how you were interviewed about Willow in 1988? You said, “Special effects never make a movie.
I don't make special effects movies. I make movies about people, and
in order to tell the story I have to use special effects in order to
create the environments.” You actually kind of sound sincere, which might have been true in 1988, but now it sounds like a joke.
In case you haven't seen it yet, check this:
Also, you should read this letter that I wrote.
When I think about you, I am reminded of the first part of Jesus' parable of the prodigal son. Remember how he took his inheritance and squandered it with riotous living? Well, here is how I see it as an analogy for you: your "inheritance" is THX 1138, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi; "squandering" means ruining (perhaps, even perverting); and "riotous living" is CGI effects. Thus, my Bible now reads thus, "And George Lucas took his masterworks THX 1138 and the Star Wars trilogy and ruined (perverted) them with CGI effects." I'd like to think that I'm a guy of faith, so I hope I still have a modicum of faith that you will "come to" yourself, like the prodigal son, repent of your transgressions, and return to your fans. Although most fans I know are already in line to spit on your grave, I hope we will be humble enough at that day to welcome you home and kill the fatted calf for you. If you ever do repent and return, I imagine Sebastian Shaw will be at the feast, not Hayden Christensen.
Sincerely,
This Guy
