'Trash'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
So wishing I could've seen a more usual SLJ..."When you wanna lightsaber every motherfucker in the room...you really shouldn't. This force thing is all spiritual and shit."
I love this line.
I also like Natalie Portman, generally. I think she should meet me for dinner somewhere, and we can discuss how bad the Star Wars movies are over filet mignon and a nice cabernet.

I'm sorry, but you dropped way down on her dinner companion list because you're still crying about her haircut.
So I dropped from, what, 27 millionth to 28 millionth?
Y'all are easy, men. Not for me, mind you. To me you are like dialogue or character for Lucas. But you're easy about boring little Natalie Portman. But, thanks.

Way, way lower. They ran out of numbers and had to express it with an abstract symbol.

She's not boring. She's very interesting to look upon.
Oh yes, my respect for Portman is almost entirely physical. But I do like the fact that she insisted on going to college and also was an active, vocal supporter of the Kerry campaign. Plus, she actually sounds fairly interesting in a way I would never really want to date in her interviews.
Of course, she turned down the role of Lolita (and panned the story as disgusting, which is true but doesn't make it any less great) after accepting the role of Matilda in Léon, which annoys me a bit, but I suppose twelve-year-olds don't necessarily have the best judgment about what qualifies as scary morally and what doesn't.
Keira Knightley is hotter. But I think I'd rather meet NP. And I'd rather meet Alyson Hannigan than either of them, and she's both married and too old for me.

I tend to agree.
Plus, she's got a high credit limit on account of Leon. Sure, it's close to maxed out, but still...
So? Can she do anything else? No, never mind, don't answer that...forgot who I was talking with. But I guess I'm glad she votes blue and stuff, and I'm not denying the pretty...it just sort of leaves me flat, NSM in "Beautiful Girls" when I was like "She's twelve? Glad twelve didn't look like that when I was or I would killed myself."
I love Ewan's performance now that I've seen it twice. I don't love it enough to go back and watch AotC again, but he just breaks my heart in the big final battle scene.
Ewan has been one of the saving graces of the prequels for me. However, I think this time around he went beyond - I think he knew this was the big one, and it certainly gave him the biggest chance to work in a larger range of emotion. He gets the best humorous lines (and they are very much in that dry, Alec Guiness vein), and he also gets to do the heartbreak and despair.
Although I've liked him in all three, this was the first time I could watch him and just enjoy him inhabit Obi-Wan, as opposed to admiring how well he was dealing with all the inanity he was handed AND synching himself up with Alec Guiness.
Heh. Plei: does it hurt that she's expressed regret over taking that role several times? To be fair, her reasoning has nothing to do with the quality of the movie and more to do with the disturbing psychology of being a sex symbol at the age of twelve, but still.
