I think it is embarrassing that conservatives are complaining about that line. I am politically hyper sensitive, and I saw nothing in the movie that seemed to be a comment on Bush and or Iraq. In the same scene as the "no absolutes" line there is also a line the could be construed to condemn moral relativism, which is as pertinent to today's democrats and the other line is to Bush. There is nothing politically offensive in the movie. Feel free to see and enjoy (except it isn't that great a movie). :)

There is one line: "only the sith deal in absolutes" which was pretty stupid.

Especially since Darth Sidious had already talked about things being right and wrong depending on your point of view. Doesn't sound very absolutist to me.

"Heard the local talk-show guys talking about the underlying anti-Iraq anti-Bush message throughout the movie. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?"

Laughable. But then some people see the virgin Mary in oil stains.

[LAURENTIJ]

Well, would you really trust Palpatine's view of the Sith?

[RightWhale]

Our society must be starving for something.

[LAURENTIJ]

Yeah, good movies about heroes and villains.

Didn't appear to be that way to me.

A little strong in places for kids. It is a bit dark and there is some violence.

This thread made me think of bad movies. Then I thought of Al Franken. Who made one of the worst movies ever about that faggy guy who's name I won't remember. Then I thought I'd make a comment here about Al Franken and how much he sucks. So, I went to find an image of Al Franken with "sucks" on it.

google, of course, doesn't seem to allow images of Al Franken with the word "sucks" across his face. I could have made such an image but THAT sucks. So, here is Al Franken with the word "racist" in front of him. Which is the best I could do.

I remember hearing that on an episode of "News Radio".

[Borges]

Is that where it's from? I've heard it in various places!

I'll download it tonight on alt.binaries.movies for free.

Do they have anything other than crappy camcorder versions yet?

I've seen it twice, and I didn't pick up any of that.

Some people (you know who) are reading what they want to see into the movie, I think.

Except I guess GL didn't take the advice he offered when it came to the Anakin-Padme dialog.

[marajade]

Twice... and I thought I was a huge fan... planning to see for the second time tomorrow.

Are you in the picture? Great costume of the Queen.
