“i have a bad feeling about this.”

George Lucas says he will be getting out of making movies, or at least getting away from making US$200,000,000 blockbusters, which he sees as too large of a gamble. From here on out he plans to make TV shows and movies, because he can make fifty or sixty movies for the same amount of investment. Essentially, he appears to want to focus on quantity instead of quality. Smell that? It's IRONY. As one slashdotter comments, this is “three movies too late.” (slashdot)

Additionally, this comes right on the heels of announcing that Harrison Ford, Spielberg, and Lucas have officially announced that they're working on the next Indiana Jones movie. Color me both confused, and not hopeful.
