Attack of the

alternateorg on May 9, 2002

After dashing my childhood memories with Episode I, George Lucas felt for some reason that he needed to continue making Star Wars movies. I was commericially ravaged by it and vowed never see another one in the theater. Now the first reviews are begining to trickle out and it looks like what most critical thinking individuals would have guessed.

“And for another, while “Attack of the Clones” is many things — a two-hour-and-12-minute action-figure commercial, a demo reel heralding the latest advances in digital filmmaking, a chance for gifted actors to be handsomely paid for delivering the worst line readings of their careers — it is not really much of a movie at all, if by movie you mean a work of visual storytelling about the dramatic actions of a group of interesting characters.”

    i dunno. other reviews say that yoda kicks some ass, and i always support asskicking muppets (even when theyve been replaced by cg). actually, i just down for it because the fanboy contingent is placing it above ROTJ. and apparently jar jar gets laughed at by characters in the film. yay for that.
