You know, I can take the fireside chat (as awful as it is), the fart joke in TPM, Jar Jar doing almost anything, even the midichlorians and virgin birth stuff over listening to Padame say, 'I'm not afraid to die. I've died a little bit each day since you came back into my life.' Just plain PHEW! There are no words to describe how horrible, horrible that line is. It was almost like Padame farted and the whole audience heard it. To this very day I want to ask Natalie Portman how on earth was she able to say that without laughing? Where are the bloopers for that line? You know they exist.

I've said it before. There I was in the theatre for the 2nd time that day and seeing AOTC for the second time. The Padame fart line happened and I lust looked at my best friend and said, 'Oh PHEW!' No one talks like that! I don't think that I've ever been more embarrassed for an actor than I am for Natalie Portman. To have said that and it's on film for all eternity.

Wait, I take that back. I was totally embarrassed for Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamil in the Holiday Special. Poor Carrie. Having to sing that horrible song. Still makes my ears bleed when I hear it.
