Flashing back to our SATs, are we?

Flashing back to our SATs, are we?

Wow, your SATs were much more fun than mine.

I finally saw Saved! It was all right. Mostly funny, generally decent. It wasn't as supermegaawesome as I'd been led to believe, but that's okay. Cause I like Jena Malone.

I saw Episode III today. Yes, the dialogue and acting were pretty bad, but I still really enjoyed it, though it wasn't quite as good as I'd hoped. It seemed less imaginative than the other films, including Episodes I and II. The special effects were awesome, of course, and Lucas does know how to give a movie that epic feeling.

Then I saw The Muppets' Wizard of Oz on TV, and it was surprisingly brilliant. Very funny and clever. And it had a very bizzare cameo appearance by Quentin Tarantino. Seriously I think it's the best movie I've seen in a long time. It was even better than Sin City and Gong fu, even if it was clearly low budget and had crappy special effects.

The New Yorker review of RoTS was pretty great. I'm not normally a big fan of Anthony Lane.

Some choice lines:

What can you say about a civilization where people zip from one solar system to the next as if they were changing their socks but where a woman fails to register for an ultrasound, and thus to realize that she is carrying twins until she is about to give birth? Mind you, how Padmé got pregnant is anybody’s guess, although I’m prepared to wager that it involved Anakin nipping into a broom closet with a warm glass jar and a copy of Ewok Babes.

And then he rags on Yoda:

Also, while we’re here, what’s with the screwy syntax? Deepest mind in the galaxy, apparently, and you still express yourself like a day-tripper with a dog-eared phrase book. “I hope right you are.” Break me a fucking give.

I was a little disapponted that the "Yoda has a sex scene" rumor turned out to be false. 'Course, I didn't really have to see the movie to know that. But it's still the most amusing rumor I've heard in a long time.

It's the "Jabba eats Jar Jar" rumour that cracks me up.

Whitefonted for my own amusement, since it's false. But maybe you don't want to know it doesn't happen.

Believe me, I was hoping for that scene through the whole movie. I would have settled for "Large rock falls on Padme", though.

Man. Only George Lucas could get bad performances out of Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, AND Samuel L. Jackson.

I thought Ewan did a good job. Samuel L. Jackson just sounded bored, though. I guess because his character has no...character.

Still haven't seen EpIII yet, but I do find myself asking:

What do you mean there's a Michael Bay Movie I kind of what to see???

It's the end of the world or something.
