Yeah, the movies are for kids. But watch Episode IV again. Regardless of the thin dialogue and the mopey acting by Hamill, it MOVES. The plot ticks along like a machine.
Episodes I & II are overlong and poorly plotted. They meander like they'd rather show us the CGI scenery (ooh! pretty!) than deal with what the movie is about. Whatever that is.
And, yeah, of course I'll see it in the theater. I'll wait a week or two for the audiences to thin out, but I'll give Lucas my $10.50. I'm curious. And I'm still chasing the thrill of A New Hope, even if there is little hope.
I wanted to be Luke Skywalker: flying a spaceship, fighting the Bad Guys (mostly it was flying the spaceship I wanted). It wasn't until I was twelve or thirteen that I realized that wasn't likely to happen, and felt for the first time that I was "born too early." Which I sometimes still do, although my iPod almost makes up for it.
I'm very confused. Who can I give money to for the i-ay, od-Pay? And how?
I tried to read the thread to figure it out but, really, I'm not that smart.
/tried to think but nothing happened
one may want to consider that Ashcroft may not be the pompous fool he plays at; that he may have cultivated this image with the press to deflect attention from Bush
Wait a minute, I thought Bush was cultivating the pompous fool image? These guys have got to get their shit together and figure out just who the pompous fool is for each day. Maybe they could put together a Pompous Fool calendar to keep track. Of course Bush would have to have someone read it to him. Too many words.
You people are pathetic. Jesus. To imagine I used to come around here for the WITTY REPARTEE. You could part a wit, let alone re-part one. You all suck. I'm leaving!*
*Just for a week though. Going up to Maine to do a show. See you next Tuesday.
