Hilarious. Correct on so many things. The scenes in the junk shop are so convoluted and terrible. It's amazing those ideas made it to film. Why the FUCK didn't he just trade his federation credits with a weaker minded shop to buy the part from Waddo? Why didn't he just try to get a cheaper ship with the leverage he had to just get the fuck out of dodge? If the goal was to leave, why not just hire a Han Solo type? Completely retarded. And why the fuck couldn't they just go back and get Annakin's mother? And how could she have possibly have had ANY value to Waddo?
If I spelled some names wrong, fuck you.

It's so uncomfortable after Lucas watches it for the first time. You can tell he thinks it's bad but gradually convinces himself it's good. It's almost like when you have unprotected sex with someone you think may have an STD, but as time goes on you think it's highly unlikely she has AIDS or Gonorrhea.

I actually was at one of the midnight showings the night this cinematic turd premiered. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan by any means, but I got the chance to go, so I figured why the hell not.
The atmosphere before the movie started was electric. People were excited, there were people in the requisite Darth Vader and Han Solo costumes, of course, and I was having a blast myself. We were all getting fired up.
Then the movie started. The crawl comes up -- and we are told this is about a fucking trade dispute. And you could feel the air starting to leak out of the theatre.
When the movie ended, there was some applause...but not everyone. And the atmosphere leaving was far less festive.

I never saw the 'behind the scenes' for this movie since I really dislike Episode 1. You could definitely tell the people around Lucas didn't have the guts to tell him the movie was becoming awful.

Totally agree. I could imagine the "cringe/uncomfortableness" the people had being around Lucas in that first test screening for Episode 1.

so how does this work? There was the 3 originals which now technically are 4 5 and 6?

Exactly.
"Star Wars" is episode 4.
"Empire" is 5
"Jedi" is 6.
The newer trilogy are episodes 1, 2, and 3.
My prediction is that George's son will write and direct episodes 7, 8, and 9. I am basing that on nothing but my gut. If GL dies... his son will complete the saga. It would be quite fitting.

There's a great line in a Simpson's episode... where Bart & Lisa visit George Lucas immediately after they watch The Phantom Menace. They hate the movie, and they tell him to his face.
His reply is "what do you mean you hated it? We finally perfected 'digital eyelash rendering!'". Or something like that.
He then hops on a tauntaun and runs away.
Good shtuff.

In like the third or fourth Star Trek review (they are well worth watching) he says "I'm getting fucking tired of saying this about Star Trek movies: THE PLOT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE".
For his track record, I assume Episode 2 and Episode 3 reviews will be coming within the next months or years. Can't wait.
I was skeptical, but I watched all 7 parts of the Phantom Menace review. Brilliant.
As much as everyone hated Episode 1, I thought Episode 2 was the worst of the three movies. At least Episode 1 matched Episodes 4-6 on an aesthetic level. Episode 2 changes the physical appearance of the movies. A movie full of Jar-Jar boring plot is still better than CP30 on the conveyor belts and more relationship development between Anakin and Obi Wan.
There isn't a second of Episodes 1-3 where Obi Wan treats Anakin like anything but an annoyance.

spike tv had the original trilogy on yesterday
in return of the jedi right after yoda dies, luke goes outside and talks to hologram ben
as theyre talking luke brings up why didnt you tell me vader was my father, you said he killed him
ben goes into his explanation but says this
when i first met your father he was already a great pilot
obviously the events of epi 1 massively contradict this and theres tons of that shit in the orig trilogy that dont match up with what they do in the shitty trilogy
fezident
12-25-2009, 07:25 PM
The SW contradictions are everywhere.
Here's something that never made sense:
DAGOBAH.
LUKE FLIES AWAY TO FACE VADER
Ben "That boy was our last hope"
Yoda "No... there is another"
What?!
Yoda is referring to Leia.
Not only does Ben know that Luke and Leia are siblings but... he is THE ONLY OTHER PERSON IN THE GALAXY THAT KNOWS THAT LUKE AND LEIA ARE SIBLINGS.
Ben is, literally, the last person in the galaxy that DOES know that there is "another". Yoda and Ben simply should not have had that conversation. It's illogical and pointless.
Fuck you, GL.
My favorite part of the original trilogy is in Jedi where Obi Wan's ghost moves some vines before sitting on a log to talk with Luke. What does that even mean, "Excuse me Luke, I'm a tired ghost. Let me clean a place to sit. The last thing I want to do is hurt my ghost ass. "

I loved in the Generations review how he pointed out that the Enterprise-B is the only ship within range of a ship 3 light years away -- when it has just cleared the asteroid belt, meaning it's somewhere between Mars and Jupiter.

Is the speaker related to Kenny Allen?
I just finished part 4, and I HAD to search to see if anyone else asked this!!!
Dear Kenny,
I understand that you don't call in to the Ron & Fez Show any more, because your voice has changed with age. But I implore you... PLEASE CALL!!!:wub:
I find myself watching them over again myself. The guy just has be dying.
I love the Star Trek one where the Enterprise gets fucked up and Picard is searching through the rubble. And they show this statue he was all gaga over in the tv show and he just picks it up and tosses it. They mustve showed it 10 times. I couldnt stop laughing.
i love that fuckin part. over 12000 years old.....eh, whatever
The day I saw that movie in the theater, and I saw that scene, I literally said out loud "what the fuck is he doing?". That statue was CENTRAL to an entire fucking episode.
This guy is also great though because I never even considered his analysis of "TV Picard" and "Movie Picard". It is scary true. It's like "Good Captain Kirk" and "Evil Captain Kirk" in that episode from the original series.

I'd definitely noted it with "First Contact", where Picard was getting all kill-crazy on the Borg when he'd shown them mercy on the TV series, even, as pointed out in the review, passing up a chance to completely wipe them out forever.
The thing about him on the show was that he had a complex, and even contradictory, personality, but he still managed to maintain his authority. At times in the movies, he just seems like he's nuts.
Wow, I'm dense. I watched the Star Trek Nemesis review and didn't even pick up on that it totally ripped off Wrath of Khan. Loved the Dr. Evil comparisons.
"Green plastic cymbals" :laugh:
As for Star Trek Insurrection's review: "Star trek insurrection sucks my balls". Sums it up perfectly. The part about Data being a cultural observer is a great point. "Star Trek Hiserection".

Hilarious and brilliant once again! I thought he might go overboard on the whole psycho thing but it worked out really well. The comparisons to Empire was awesome. And to think, I thought I liked this movie better than Phantom... I was wrong!
Awesome as always. Yeah, the psycho thing went a little too long this time but that's OK in the grand scheme of things.

THe thing about Annakin being socially inappropriate and giving dating tips was just awesome and so so true.
I'm really excited to check out the 90-minute "Attack of the Clones" review, but I am at work at the moment. Episode 2 is easily my least favorite "Star Wars" movie. I'll give "The Phantom Menace" some level of credit for sticking to the aesthetic conventions the original "Star Wars" trilogy, but "Attack of the Clones" has little to no resemblance to what a "Star Wars" movie is.
Kevin Smith probably had the best take on the newer Star Wars trilogy when he said something to the effect of, "The makers of Harry Potter give the fans credit for aging and the movies reflect the passage into adulthood. Lucas attempted to feed his long-time fans a Star Wars that was less mature than the original movies they watched."

...My prediction is that George's son will write and direct episodes 7, 8, and 9. I am basing that on nothing but my gut. If GL dies... his son will complete the saga. It would be quite fitting.
But since Vader is dead, the saga is complete (even if the 1st half of the saga sucks ass) that said I guess I would like to see a trilogy of movies about Luke rebuilding the Jedi order.

So they were pulled, due to Cartoon Networks being offended of the negative use of the 'Clone Wars' saying. Not even jus related to their carton, but the actualy phrase 'Clone Wars'

alot of the phantom menace shit has over a million views. Im sure if you did that in a big city, someone within earshot would probably get it. i used to do shit like that at the mall with inside jokes from radio shows or movies or something to see how would laugh and who would just be confused.
the urban market stole my TV once, so I know they like to watch movies is probably the best line and the hardest i laughed at the new review. my favorite line overall is still from the phantom menace review
