There’s something about A Goofy Movie that sticks with you. Maybe it’s the over-the-top ‘90s vibe, maybe it’s Powerline melting faces with “I2I,” or maybe it’s that quiet scene by the river, where Goofy and Max finally stop yelling and just talk.

Dear LucasFilm, stop talking about Star Wars, and MAKE Star Wars
Tony Gilroy recently let slip in an interview that Lucasfilm is working on a Star Wars horror project. No official announcement. No trailer. Just a casual mention that, yeah, something’s apparently happening in that space. It wasn’t confirmation. It wasn’t denial. It was something Lucasfilm has become remarkably good at: vague, cryptic development chatter that … Continue reading Dear LucasFilm, stop talking about Star Wars, and MAKE Star Wars
