My wife and I laughed so hard when we watched the Best of Triumph's DVD.

Only one thing could have saved this movie: More ... and I mean much more ... Jar Jar Binks Only one thing could have saved this movie: Jar Jar Biinks getting a light saber through the head.

Empire was definitely the best. Lucas Arts video games have more plot and better dialog than his second trilogy.
I used to see almost every movie that came out. I haven't seen a movie since the second Lord of the Rings. I'd love to go, but I refuse to pay money to have my intelligence insulted while trying to avoid epileptic seizures from cut scenes every .7 seconds.

Villains are never evil in their own minds. They often believe they are doing what they are doing for some greater good. It is from this that we get the really good tragedies.

You think five beers is enough to get you through the movie?
Oops...YUEngling, I meant to say. And no, five isn't even enough to get through the movie - it would take that many to convince me to buy a ticket.

To: kromike
But that's the trend these days in movie-making. Villains aren't blatantly, flat-out evil, they're just "confused" and "misunderstood". They had a bad childhood, blah blah blah. Interesting take. Current zeitgeist reflected in film. Thirty years ago we had good and evil and Star Wars reflected that idea. Now in the age of mush where people are fearful of labeling good and bad we have the Star Wars prequels; full of psycho-babel, self doubt, and bad dialog!

It might be just 17. One is punctuated with a period instead of a comma and doesn't really count.

I suspect I'll like it more than Podhoretz did. But I'll admit this pan made an entertaining read. :-)
It's a bit odd that he just discovered that Yoda talks funny, though.

He makes James Cameron look like David Mamet. Why do characters in David Mamet movies often sound like they are reading their lines? It could just be bad acting but it happens so often that Mamet must want it this way. But for what reason?
To: Destro
Star Wars, the cartoon. They are no longer movies as much as 2 hour day care centers for small children.

Why the surprise about bad writing? I read in an article last week about rumors that Lucas had help on the dialogue from an experienced screenwriter.
If that is true, wouldn't you just love to read the original script? Just what you could tolerate, of course.
To: wideminded
I don't care for Mamet's direction of actors. But if you look at something like 'Glengarry Glen Ross' where someone else is directing, the effect is a poetic/profane hyperrealism. I find it musical and hypnotic.
