The Unofficial Complete REVISITED SAGA Ideas and Random Discussion Thread

This is an idea I had. Not necessary by any means, and would probably piss some people off, but maybe a way to connect the trilogies more would be to, instead of replacing Shaw with Christensen in ROTJ, give Shaw the wardrobe worn by the Anakin of the prequels. Would perhaps allow first time viewers to more easily identify who the new ghost is. Doesn’t make much sense for ghost Anakin to be wearing something he never wore in life.

Good idea indeed. But would make even more sense to leave Hayden as well.

Last movie seen
Time

I’ve decided that from here on out, I’m going to rate every movie I see 1-5. Not only is it simpler, but it allows me to curb some of my obsessive-compulsive tendancies (What with the other rating systems being so large, enabling me to split finer and finer hairs, turning what should be a simple affair into a minor chore, thus causing me no small frustration and on and on and on …).

Anyway …

Body of Evidence (1993) – 2/5

Past Midnight (1991) – 3/5

The Love of Zero (1928) – 5/5

Phone Booth (2002) – 3/5

An American Tail (1986)

Bless that Bluth – he’s such a good animator. That’s why I’m going to allow this cat-demonizing, vermin-glorifying … film … a pass – a very, very, verrrry minor pass though it may be.

3/5

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

I think I’m gonna have to watch this again. I tried watching it yesterday while I was exhausted, and so I kept slipping in and out of sleep while it was playing. Until I can watch it again to properly gauge its merits, my temporary rating will be

3.5/5

Sometimes They Come Back (1991)

Stick with the original short story.

3/5

The Ring (2002) – 3/5

Between the ugly colour grading and the bland love interest who does jackshit throughout the story, I’d say stick with the original Japanese film.

Ringu (1998) – 4/5

Kissing Time (1993) – 5/5

The most important thing to me in a movie, episode, or book is that the story make sense on the most basic level. TFA fails that in several ways. Things like that ruin a story for me. The rest may be well done, but the gaffs destroy any credibility TFA has in any ranking. The basic story sucks so the film sucks. That is the end of the story for me. I can deal with less than perfect characters and dialog if the story they tell is solid underneath. If the story isn’t solid I can’t enjoy it.

The Room is a story about a great guy whose girl is cheating on him. So…

So The Room took what was a passé plot and elevated it to nigh-godlike status.
