I'm never going to worry about being the un-funniest thing on the planet again. I just went to see Star Wars Episode 3.
Hey, there was totally some funny in there! Maybe twice. But I thought it was a good movie.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I haven't. I only went to compare notes for Serenity, really. Suffice to say, I shall be reporting back to UIP here that Serenity may possibly be just a tiny little bit better than Episode 3 in terms of script, humour, story, acting, direction, photography, message and pacing.
I think Joss has had the wrong idea with Serenity, though. Apparently if you make two REALLY BAD films (by all accounts), and then make one which is a slight improvement (but still pretty fucking awful in terms of script, acting, direction and pacing), the press love it. I'm amazed by the amount of professional reviewers who mentioned the fact the script is laughable and the acting dire, but have still given it overall good reviews. Did all the core film making principles go out the window recently?
ETA: My favourite line is probably "Nooo! NOOOO! NOOOOOOOOO! HAHA!", which did actually draw a belly laugh from the audience.

The New Yorker reviewer hated Episode III. Example: "The general opinion of "Revenge of the Sith" seems to be that it marks a distinct improvement on the last two episodes... True, but only in the same way that dying from natural causes is preferable to crucifixion. So much here is guaranteed to cause either offense or pain..."
He really has bad words for Yoda.

I forgot my other favourite two lines, "If I'm so beautiful, its because I love you" "No, you're beautiful because I love you".
Actually, maybe it was supposed to be a comedy thinking about it.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

This got a big laugh/groan from the audience when I went.

I was watching the opening space fight and found myself thinking "Damn, I wish this was FARSCAPE." I didn't have to wish it was SERENITY because, hey, seeing it next week. Nanny nanny boo boo.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
