The thing with Catwoman was, that the whole thing was a conceptual, directorial, and acting disaster.

And I honestly... really truely honestly... feel the same way about the PT. The exact same way.

Okay, alright, I do sort of agree with you, but I honestly think that Catwoman was a lot worse.

Conceptually, the material that Lucas had to work with was very good - the problem is that he didn't handle it properly, nor did he seem to understand it. Directing-wise, my theory is that he simply didn't do it at all. And as far as acting goes - I think it's kind of poxy that actors seem to need a good director to act well - it's their freakin' job for the sake of Sam! It's like saying a rock band needs a good producer to record an awesome album - which may be sadly true in some circles - but there's no way you can tell me that Led Zeppelin needed any help to be as great as they were.

There is a point to what I'm saying, somewhere...oh yeah, if an actor acts poorly in one movie and well in another, and we put the difference in performance down to the director, isn't that still saying something about the inconsistency of the ability of the performer?
