   Procrastinator extraordinaire that I am, I cannot say with any certainty that I will someday register my nick.

   I am not SO bewildered by the search results except for actually the first – who the hell is looking for “alvarete” on google? Is there some sort of product, or TV show in another country that I am just completely unaware of?

   Striperella is also kind of out there, but then I again I could understand a person running the search – why the search prompts this site I can’t imagine.

   So just out of curiosity, what were numbers 2 and 3?

   F it.

   Why would people search for gay and find you?….dunno…let me see…interesting, eh?
   Also, if you’re gonna give us a butt, it better be J Lo butt or Beyonce butt
   PD: “alvarete” = “gay” = “striperella”

   Today Episode III is out, and I have already read some reviews, some with (like Kevin Smith’s) with movie plot in it. Mr Cranky however doesnt have many nice things to say (no that I am surprised).

   My prediction (I’m going to watch it on Saturday) is that it will be fantabulicious.

    You do realize the movie might not come out on DVD for probably over a year? Must not be a big fan.

    Kevin Smith says the movie is awesome. All in all, I trust Kevin Smith’s taste in film I think.

    My mistake, I meant an original copy. In the third world is very easy for some DVD rental to get an original non-intended-for-sale copy, which is just as good as the version that’ll be released with all the fanfare in about a year from now. I’ll still have to wait for a month or so for it, but I can live with that. And yes, even though I hold high expectations for this movie (which I didn’t have for the last two INCLUDING the first one), I’m far from being a hardcore fan.

    Buy a jammer. It will probably stop uneducated cell phone users from taking calls inside the theater, but of course it won’t prevent stupid attention seeking bitches from fucking around with those obnoxiuosly loud ring tones. It’s annoying, but thankfully not a big problem here either.

    Interesting proposal.

    However, from a liability standpoint (which is everything here in USA), how exposed to a good ‘ol fashion law suit would I be if I utilized a jammer and through the use of it I crippled someones attempt to call 911, or some other life altering situation for which the cell phone was once originally intended?

    Maybe unexpectedly get charged with involuntary manslaughter? Interesting. Maybe I should stop watching so many re-runs of Law and Order.

    Lucas stinks at directing actors.

    Before any hardcore fan threatens to cut me in half with his lightsaber, this is NOT a product of my imagination. Back in the 70’s, Lucas expressed his thoughts about how fullfiling should be to direct porn, because of the lack of stress in the process.

    Long and extended and even well written essays won’t change the fact that Lucas sucked as screenwriter and director of the Star Wars prequels.

    This is not a funny or interesting or empty debate of trekkies versus wookies. Nor a trial for Lucas. Saying we’re naysayers was a falacy, but hey, it was a good one.

    Thing is, I prefer to see good scripts when I go to the movies. And good actors (or acting) delivering them (that usually shows a good director’s behind). I won’t discuss the fact that you actually may have liked the prequels. You should like them for whatever the reasons you want to: you get nostalgic, you get to see your childhood fantasies on the big screen, Bobba Fett, the other weird stuff or characters only fans tend to notice or like to point out, etc. “Taste” is not being discussed here.

    But when it comes to analyzing the movie for what it is -a story and the way it’s told-, then, I’m afraid, the prequels are way below lots of other SF and fantasy films.

    Anyways, it’s not saturday yet. Go watch it first. Then we’ll heat it up and get sweaty.

    It has become a tired topic to me. Besides, Mr. Trull already did it. While he can’t refute every criticism, at least has convinced some fans that the prequels are not that bad.

    Star Wars better than LOTR???, that’s just outrageous
    OK, let’s get this started:
    Favorite 5 “trilogies”:
    1. LOTR (By far, very very very far)
    2. Star Wars I-III
    3. Matrix
    4. Lethal Weapon
    5. Indiana Jones
    (Star Wars IV-VI would be 6.)
    I’m sure I’m gonna get ripped for placing I-III on 2. and IV-VI on 6. I guess I’m just a FX bitch but man, the older three DO look DATED when you watch them now

    And what the fuck is up with the coughing robot?

    Who? Grievous? He was severely wounded by Mace Windu, that’s why he was coughing. That’s the only explanation I can use to rationalize why he was defeated so pathetically in his fight with Obi Wan (although he wasn’t coughing at that moment, but, well, I suppose he was still wounded). I didn’t approve that, that twat wasn’t the Grievous I knew in Clone Wars.

    I didn’t find the acting too annoying nor the dialogue embarrassing, I liked some of the main verbal attacks. Besides, all SW movies contain occasionally goofy dialogue, I can let that pass. Lucas has admited that this is done on purpose because it’s part of the style.

    I have to say I liked Padmé and Anakin more this time. Yes, she is a dumbass and he is a rancorous naive self-deluding rationalizing prick, but so are most boys and girls: so easy to corrupt, so reluctant to admit it. I’m fine with that, but I thought Anakin’s deflection should have been capitalized even further, I didn’t really buy it.

    Palpatine is probably my favorite character, I enjoyed Ian’s performance until he turned into Darth “wicked bitch” Sidious. I don’t know… it felt weird. (I hate growing up).

    Yoda ruled as usual, and no, Obi Wan didn’t suck at all. Mace Windu was a tough jedi; but a bad motherfucker he was not, as opposed to Sidious, my favorite crafty little bastard. The stormtroopers kicked ass, were really competent. And regarding the R2D2 menace, what can I say, he is the coolest droid in the galaxy.

    Anyhow, I personally prefer the Star Wars prequels over LOTR any day. And of course, over Star Trek. I kind of liked the last LOTR instalment, but I thought it was overrated, overhyped, disapointing and far too long.

    I finally saw Episode II yesterday and it was fantastic. Everything I could have hoped for. My only explanation for people that trash the prequels is that you just arent fans of the saga and therefore, and more interested in picking it apart than simply taking it for what it is, the best made for movie story evah.

    Is the acting the best I have seen in my life? No it isnt, but I dont watch science fiction for its acting quality. That having been said, I think the bashing going around about the acting of the characters in the prequels is unwarranted (exagerated) and just plain spiteful.

    Whoever disputes that Lucas is a genius has absolutely no concept of what good movie making is, what is has taken to achieve this, and the fact that nobody will ever be able to replicate the success and admiration he has produced. Nevah!

    Anyway, I loved it. F everything else.

    Well, what do you know… it’s falacy week.

    I could same the same thing, the other way ’round: whoever disputes that Lucas is a lucky lousy director and screenwriter has absolutely no concept of what good movie making is.

    It’d still be a fallacy, though. So I’ll leave an example.

    Anakin has a nightmare, wakes up, goes to the living room, leaves the lights off. He’s all sweaty and frowny. Padme comes in:
    - What is it?
    - It was a dream.
    (Pause).
    - A bad one?

    Oh, yeah… GREAT dialogues. And direction. Maybe she didn’t notice he was worried, because he has the same “I’m cute and evil” face during the whole story. Or maybe she’s just stupid. In either case, Lucas sucks, ’cause she wasn’t stupid in the previous movies. Maybe pregnancy turned her into a moron, now that’s a good explanation.

    …on the other hand, LOTR’s first two takes were superior in every aspect to the first two Star Wars prequels. But that’s my opinion. It means I dig magic swords more than light sabers, it also means I dig wizards and rangers more than jedi knights, and it also means I have better taste than you.
