Plinkett's Episode IV commentary rxns?

Yeah, it wasn't very funny, not even remotely as funny as his prequel reviews, but I'm not really a fan of Plinkett and RedLetterMedia for the laughs so much as for the astute film analysis. You can't really fault these guys for that. And with as much reading as I do all day long, I love good film criticism on video (or mp3 in this case).

While it does feel at times like listening to one of your drunk friends try to make a point about something, the commentary has some excellent moments of explaining just what is so perfect about SW77, and he even points out a few plot holes I've never seen anyone else mention before. If you're the kind of guy who watches Star Wars multiple times a year, and you're a fan of Plinkett and RLM, it wouldn't hurt to watch it once with Plinkett's commentary

Yeah it seems pretty lame. Maybe the star wars schtick is getting into that embarrassing "Old Lucy" phase now. The "Prometheus questions" thing was good though.

I actually think commentaries for the original trilogy are a great idea, sort of an anti-prequel-review thing, explaining why the original trilogy is awesome instead of why the prequels suck. I think he just spent too much time going off on Plinkett-is-creepy tangents instead of explaining what is so perfect about the film. When he focuses on the latter, he nails it and presents a near-flawless analysis.

me too. doesn't compare to his trademark plinkett reviews but still worthwhile. if you've seen star wars as many times as we probably all have then you don't even need the movie running alongside it

My cold dark heart finds the SW stuff boring, but Heidecker and Ridgely, part how are they involved?! and part good to see her again!  Would have been interesting, SW wise, if they antagonised the audience to digitize their VHSs.

Wow, how did they get Tim Heidecker?

 

Maybe he's a fan of Plinkett or Half In The Bag?

A much better theory. :-D

I have no interest in this. The guy's voice turned me right off from listening to his PT review, and I have no desire in trying to bear with it again.
