Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (People)
have you ever seen an idealist with grey hairs on his head?
or successful men who keep in touch with unsuccessful friends?
you only think you did
i could have sworn i saw it too
but as it turns out it was just a clever ad for cigarettes.

Napoleon Dynamite. I lost an hour and a half of my life thanks to this film, that I will never get back.

maybe you didn't like the plot, but i bet you didn't know there was a special effects innovation developed for that film? a technique that became so common it became an industry standard for some time.

the jumpiness of the camera. Spielberg studied documentary film, and to mimic it's feel, he removed every 8th frame of film. and this is on 24 fps film. you do the math. it allowed for special effects never before put to film.

and that kinetic feeling motion became common place in other films. (incl Band of Brothers, even that silly show 24.)

Dungeon & Dragons!

I waited years for a proper D&D movie, and this is what they give me!

Why would your player characters know that they are a Second Level Wizard or Theif?

SOOOOO F-ING STOOOPID!

Phantom Menace.
For all the death star-sized expectations that were shattered. We can never forgive George Lucas for that.

Yeah, but at least George Lucas didn't have to COPY Star Wars!

D&D completely copied StarWars and just dressed it up in medieval fantasy clothing! Crappiest movie ever! Never rent it! Never go and see it! Quit thinking about it right now at this very second!

It was pretty good. The third was by far the best, when almost every charcter gets killed off.

One of the lines from the children.

" Master Skywalker, are you here to protect us from the attack?". Aniken turns on his lightsaber. The little kids take a few steps back. Camera Zooms out.

Phantom Menace was the only one of the prequels with a decent light sabre duel.

2 and 3 were ridiculous. i kept expecting them to stop in the middle of a duel and say "You Got Served" and the other would say "Nuh uh, Bring it On!" because those were some pretty complicated BATON TWIRLING TECHNIQUES not a sword fight.

it was a parody of itself.

Empire had best sword fight.

Yoda vs Dooku was very good.

Obi-wan and Aniken vs dooku ( epi 2) was good

Aniken vs Dooku ( epi 2) was good

Dooku vs Aniken Obi wan ( epi 3) was exceptional.

Maul vs Jin was very suspencseful.

Sidious vs Yoda was really cool.

Yes, Dooku was by far the best dark jedi they had. Would have creamed maul and Greavioes if they were enemies. Dooku was to cocky against aniken, he would have lived if he actually tried.

I CANNOT BELIEVE there is any debate to be had here.

The case for the prosecution:
The most tedious 'plot' ever
Jar jar fucking binks
CGI Is Not a Substitute for Creativity, Characters, Plot, Suspense or Dialogue
The thousands of dejected star wars fans streaming wordlessly otut of cinemas after this pile of shit finally ended
The fact that bullfrog-necked george 'i can still direct' lucas still made money
That bullshit explanation about the force
non-jokes
princess whateverthafuck's wired-shut jaw and insane outfits
No Han, Luke or Leia. No Chewie, droids, vader, alec guinness
Ewan Macgregor sleepwalking his way through in obvious embarrassment at the terrible alec guinness impression he is forced to speak his rubbish RUBBISH lines with

For the defence:
A cool lightsaber fight
The pod race was OK i guess

Prosecution rests. Your witness, someone.

You obviously know nothing about star wars. Since you know nothing on which you are talking about, your "fact" will become void.

Except ofcourse for the ones that couldn't die.

Actually....which major characters died? Mace Windu and Padmé really are the only ones I can think of.

Also, I think the Phantom menace was better than the other two.

Sir, you have slapped me across the face with yoru leather gloves and I accept. I was watching star wars before you were born. The recent trilogy is a travesty. A TRAVESTY. To tack those hours of pointless, merit-free shite onto a trilogy that probably had more effect on me growing up than any other film or films I can think of, made me very angry and very sad. Anyone who thinks these films deserve a place in the star wars canon needs their head examined.

It was a film for kids Cola.
I imagine we are similar ages-no director could have taken us back to the magic of being 5 and seeing star wars for the first time.
I'd be interested to what five year olds thought about the Phantom Menace-my guess is, they loved it.

Plus, Palpatine ROCKED.

but i STILL watch star wars! Regularly! My love for the originals has grown, not diminished, as i have elderlied.

The others are terrible films. Kids films don't have to be terrible. And if any 5-year olds could unravel that plot then they should be at cambridge already.
Why do i feel like Tim out of Spaced all of a sudden? :)
