More movies for George Lucas to mess with?
If you haven’t already heard, George Lucas has messed with a classic scene in Return of the Jedi, in the upcoming blu-ray release. In the scene where Vader throws the Emperor into the chasm, he initially did so in silence. But now, in this new version, Vader shouts “Noooo….” as he does this. Completely ruins the moment, IMO.
Anyway, here’s some other suggestions for classic movie scenes for George to tinker with…
My favourite ads
I may have posted linkies to this before but these are some of my favourite ads from the UK which aren’t aired here.

Childhood toys
OMG, this is gold – Vintage Japanese toys.
I distinctly remember having played with at least 3 of these (whether I owned them or played with them at someone else’s house I don’t remember).
The really cool thing about the last two is if you press those little red buttons on their arms, their fists fire off! (it’s ‘spring loaded’)
