I rewatched the trailer for the re-release.
Sept 10 ... right after GOP Convent. and right before 3rd anniv. of 9/11
It ends with ... coming soon to your life.
Lucas gets a lot of flack, but I think he's trying to help.
If he doesn't manage to mess this up ... subtle re-tools of that film could make a pretty powerful statement about how far we have fallen in these past 4 years.
Think of how ridiculous that film was just 4 years ago.
Now, it's a hell of a lot closer.
Consumer culture for its own end.
Religion that serves the state.
A constant diet of shows featuring humiliation and pain.
Technology over science.
Everyone serves the state or is an enemy.
I mean, it's not where we are, but neither is the Day After Tomorrow.
