seriously i wonder if that was georges acting advice for him, sneer like an asshole and whine like a spoiled rotten brat.

Honestly I think it was. I think George actually wanted what Hayden delivered, bizarre as that may seem. Not that it makes Hayden's acting any more excusable. It's not an actor doing a brilliant job playing lame. It's just Hayden doing his usual schtick to the extreme. In every performance I've seen Hayden do, in multiple films, he's always failed to give his characters substance and made them lame. As far as I can tell, it's something he does to one extent or another in all his films, whether or not it's called for. I think a better actor would have given Anakin more substance and dignity, which would have satisfied George less but worked a lot better for Anakin and Vader. I mean, for god's sake, it's supposed to be VADER.
