The best part of having Janet home? When she has dudes over, she pays for me to go to the movies and supper.
I had Taco Bell and got to see Star Wars.
I just don't know what to say about that movie. Part of me wants to like it, but that was probably the part that didn't have to actually watch the movie. If it wasn't for Samuel Jackson or Ewan McGregor, I'd say that Lucas picked his cast fresh out of a two day acting seminar titled How To Act, only the word "not" would be written in marker with one of those carrots pointing up betweent "how" and "to". The chemistry between Captain Wall-eyed and Natalie Portman was non-existant. I'm sure with all the special effects in this movie Lucas could have given Christensen the illusion of appearing heterosexual, or, at the very least had him film all his scenes with a glory hole from a truck stop men's room and just CGIed Natalie Portman over it in post. As much as Yoda is supposed to be all cool, if I had to hear one more backwards sentance... slashed my wrists, I would have. The soundtrack was good though, but they did force bits from the original series in which was kind of lame... like when they have a happy up beat song for the opening title, then they just slow down the tempo or change the instruments to make it fit the mood. Not very original. I also like how to hide Luke and Leia from the dark side, they're split up and given to... Darth Vader's brother-in-law and Luke keeps Skywalker as his last name, and then Leia is given to Jimmy Smits who was some form of senator or something directly under the Emperor. All that said, General Grevious was frigging awesome, the light saber duels were pretty radtastic, the effects were phenomenal and General Grevious was fucking boss. Even though I did see it, I don't like how you had to see the cartoon network series to get what was going on between the movies (just as I didn't like how you had to watch the Animatrix or play the video game to get what was going on in the last Matrix movies) That's it. I'm done talking about this before I sprout a pocket protector.
A few final questions...
When did R2D2 learn how to fly?
After this movie, are R2D2 and C3PO going to finally move to Vermont where they can legally get married?
Why the fuck was up with those robots? If I ever create an entire robot army, they will not be able to talk, or if they do, I'll hope that I can program them so that they don't sound like special-ed robots. Plus, I don't think I'll program them to feel pain or be afraid or be all around bumbling idiots.
Was it absoloutly necessary to have Chewbacca in this movie? Do you really need the extra 6 bucks from people when they have to buy another toy to complete the series?
Do you think anyone else noticed that 3 movies worth of fuck ups and plot holes can be completely disavowed because of the 3 second line at the very end of Episode 3 where the order to erase minds of the Bert and Ernie of droids is given?
I am going to go see Monster-In-Law, XXX: State of the Union, and House of Wax all in succession to try to erase the damage that was done in 2 hours today.
Ok, for real this time, I have so many people to call and things to do tomorrow it isn't even funny.

The odd thing about droid mind wipage was, Smits only ordered C-3PO's memory erased, not R2-D2. So in all the events and years of Eps. 4-6, it apparently never comes up in conversation that R2-D2 worked for Darth vader for several years.
Anyway, I'll have to disagree with your feelings. Eps 1 & 2 made me lose my hardcore dork level interest in Star Wars, Episode 3 brought it back. If you want, you can give those 2 hours to me.
Thank you
