And that’s my Star Trek.

Why does it have to be Star Trek? It could be some other series/franchise entirely, and let Star Trek be what it is.

Who said it has to be? I certainly didn’t.

If that wasn’t what you were saying then you would be pitching this as a new idea instead of saying you wish this was how star trek was…

I’ve been known to use hyperbole from time-to-time.

I wish I had such a cultured timbre.

I haven’t read too many Archie or Punisher comics, yet I’ve the sneaking suspicion this here tale tops the rest.

I don’t think I would call TPM well crafted. There’s very little story in it. No identifiable protagonist.

Qui-Gon, maybe?

Nothing means anything.

Yep. Because nothing in Ep1 happens that is important to the stories of Eps2-3, that isn’t also explained in Ep2.

AOTC and ROTS are trash but they have actual protagonists who make decisions that affect the outcome of the film. Both these films explore themes and ideas and have a central conflict that is present from begining to end.

The big Gungan v. Droid battle is pointless outside of being a diversion—we have no stake in whether they live or die in the battle because it doesn’t matter to Naboo defeating the Trade Federation. The Naboo pilots are stupid because they could fly right through the hangar and blow up the reactor but they don’t—Anakin does it on accident, to their confusion. The battle against Maul has glaring problems, like why there needs to be multiple force fields or why Obi-Wan doesn’t use Force Speed like he did earlier. Creepy Puppet Yoda’s appearance was a problem with the theatrical release; Jar Jar’s character was overtly racist, extremely annoying, and had no bearing on the plot of TPM; and Ric Olie, aka Captain Obvious, is obvious. And there’s a throwaway scene where they ruin the mysticism of the Force by attributing Force-sensitivity to mitochondria.

Basically, the gungan battle against the droids is mostly filler; the podrace is mostly filler; (at least) one of the characters is annoying and only funny on an immature level; the mysticism and wonder of the Force is undermined; and the story doesn’t matter to the trilogy nor the saga. So no, I wouldn’t call that “well crafted.”

It’s well crafted from a technical perspective. The CG doesn’t overwhelm everything; the aesthetics are quite nice.

So, there are people here who say TPM is the best PT film?
…but its plot is completely pointless, as the only relevant bits are summed up by character dialogue in AOTC. The very fact that you can watch Star Wars in machete order (4-5-2-3-6) and cut out TPM altogether without missing anything says something.

I don’t care that it’s “pointless” because it’s a more well-crafted film than AOTC (which is also 90% “pointless”) and ROTS (which is just a checklist of shit that should have been spread across three films crammed into one, which makes it less “pointless” by necessity, but also makes it a worse film).

Indeed.

At least I know they’re clean.

I hate vodka. Tastes like rubbing alcohol.

Is that in the shed after the blood covers the light? I honestly can’t recall that shot.

Yep. Right at the end of the scene.

This here image is taken from Evil Dead II. I’ve watched this movie God knows how many times since 2002, but I was never able to tell what the hell I was looking at here. Last night, it finally clicked; it’s a goddamn cattle skull with deadite eyes.

At that point you should have just dumped it in some coke so it would be snortable so it wasn’t a total waste

First unread post I was taken to was from yhwx, leading me for a brief moment to believe he was back.

Grrr. . . .

Weird, I keep getting notifications about posts to a thread, but this isn’t a thread and there aren’t posts in it.

Like I said, weird right?

Whatever the case may be, the cartoon’s certainly good. Except for the “US Acres” bits. Those stink.

Yeah, and look where it got me.

I’M STILL WAITING FOR THAT MAIL-ORDER BRIDE, HANDMAN!

I believe Handman once linked to that video in the “last movie seen” thread. A debate with Frink on whether or not it counted as a movie soon ensued.
