George Lucas in Love VHS

The plot of this short film revolves around the young George Lucas in his senior year of film school. He's trying to write a great agricultural space epic, but can't seem to put anything together until he meets a beautiful girl with big hair in the student theatre. She encourages him to write what he knows and from there it's movie history.The DVD version of this short film includes a short commentary by the film's creators, an enhanced version of the film (basically a pop-up video trivia veiwing), a short "making of" documentary, chapter search, and a "special" secret feature (the code number is 1138). For being a short film, a lot of these features seem redundant. However, they fit in with the spirit of the film and make the DVD that much more entertaining.Also included on the DVD are three other shorts. EVIL HILL is a parody of the Austin Powers films and the movie NOTTING HILL. A young Mr. Evil (he's not a doctor yet) is treated like a monster by the people in his small town in Bavaria. However, one day Marilyn Monroe wanders into his children's book store and his life is changed forever.FILM CLUB is a parody of the movie FIGHT CLUB. If you haven't seen the movie, this short parody will make no sense whatsoever. The final short is SWING BLADE, a parody of SLING BLADE and SWINGERS. That short is filmed as a coming attraction and shows what would happen if Karl from SLING BLADE moves to L.A. and hooks up with the gang from SWINGERS.Overall, a highly entertaining DVD that fans of STAR WARS and/or film buffs will enjoy.

The sentiment of "why buy it when you can download it for free?" isn't even close to being valid here. It's just not possible to appreciate the excellent production and effort that went into this short on a jumpy computer screeen. This is a real film, worthy of a full-size theater. Lacking that, your TV is the next best thing. Even if you already have the VHS, you won't regret buying the DVD. It's not just the lovely print and sound of the title short, but the copious extras which make this DVD a real bargain. The background and commentary on George Lucas in Love is great, though much of the information is repeated in various forms. Still, it's fun to know how this short came about, and to realize it was truly a professional production all the way around. The additional short films are great to have as well, though you can tell their budgets are far smaller than that of GLIL! Swing Blade is laugh-out-loud funny, but the Film Club short is not to be overlooked. It's a spot-on parody of the Fight Club trailer--the detail is perfect, right down to Brad Pitt's gestures and Edward Norton's expressions. Any fan of Fight Club (and if you have a DVD player you MUST have a copy of Fight Club, right?) will get a big kick out of it. The Evil Hill parody--despite a terrific Dr. Evil impression by Timothy Dowling--is slow and uninspired. This is the guy who thought a live-action Rugrats movie would be a good idea. Mr. Dowling is clearly talented, but judging from this work he needs to stay friends with people who can tell him when his ideas stink. Come to think of it, George Lucas could use a bit of that kind of help as well.

This DVD is fun. Not the best of all the Star Wars Satires I have seen, but certainly on of the few that focuses on George Lucas and his universe.Done to the tone of "Shakespeare In Love", this movie has cute moments, Star Wars inuendos and some clever diaglogue. The performances are very good too.It's cute. For the Die Hard - Star Wars fan this is a must. Be warned, its very short!

For fans of Star Wars, this is an absolute must see! Fans of Shakespeare in Love will roll when they see this movie, for the simple fact that they will pick up many of the subtleties of humor that us "just plain" Star Wars fans would probably miss.For my own part, after reading the reviews of this movie when in first came out, I went to the website and watched the movie online before I bought it. The blatant Star Wars allusions -- from the asthmatic rival, to the not-so-subtle background action -- are absolutely hysterical, but I knew that I was missing something. That night, I went to the video store and rented SIL just so I could understand what it had to do with the parody. I can now say with absolute assurance that if you're a fan of both films, George Lucas in Love will probably be the best parody you will ever see!Oh... one more thing -- if you watched this movie on the Web and thought it was hilarious, I would still encourage you to buy it. There is a surprise ending on the video (not shown on the Internet version) that is, in my opinion, the best moment in the whole film. What is it, you ask? Now now, you'll have to buy it, and see for yourself!

...the result is hilarious!An asthmatically sinister neighbor who sounds surprisingly similar to Darth Vader; a hairy friend who groans like Chewbacca; a college student who beeps and bleeps like R2D2 with his tall friend who answers him like C-3PO; a girl with very interesting hair buns on either side of her head, who is leading a rebellion; a teacher who talks backwards, and just when he almost starts to make sense, he says, "Too much have I already said." They manage to cram all that and so much more into 9 minutes of hilarious movie. I especially like the twist at the end (and you'll have to watch the movie to find out what it is). :-)This is the story of George Lucas' inspiration for writing "Star Wars" a la Shakespeare in Love.This video is great! It's also nice to watch it on video, since in the past (before I got the video) I watched it online, and every time, I ran into net congestion. No net congestion with a video. :-)

Alors c'est ce DVD qu'il vous faut ...Incontournable pour tout fan de Lucas !D'autres courts métrages (pas de Lucs) sont sur le disque, intéressants pour certains, contournables pour d'autres.

"George lucas in love", court métrage de 10 min et "Vestiaire obligatoire" sont excellents.Les 3 autres films sont d'un intérêt variables.A posséder tout de même, vu le prix.
