I know, I know. At least he recognizes that the dialogue for the love story stunk. I just got the biggest kick out of his comment that Episode II had more EMOTION than any other Star Wars movie (including Empire!). I also liked his gushing about the CG Yoda:
...seeing him scratching his face, the mottled color of his skin, and the shine in his eyes when he stared out of the screen was wonderful. It made Yoda more real than ever before
The experimental Ep. II CG Yoda makes him more real than the puppet? Come on! And Padme being one of the best-portrayed characters in the movie? She and Hayden were the most wooden actors in the movie!

Oh, you wouldn't believe. Most of the people I talk to now tell me how "boring" the original Star Wars is. They would rather watch any other movie than it (my brother included). That just shows how shallow a lot of people have become, and maybe it's why movies stink now- they're being geared toward this type of audience.
(end of rant).
