It's been a while since I've seen it too, so maybe I'm mistaken, but I'm sure that Q wasn't in that movie, so who was dispensing gadgets if not him?

Really cool game. I just finished at 5,847 with 4,555,754. Cool link. I'll have to keep practicing at that.

Rowan Atkinson played bumbling operative Nigel Small-Fawcett (the first time I recall a Bond DUDE having a sexually-suggestive name.

Oh yeah, I remember now. My bad. He sure didn't play Q though.

I didn't say he was Q, just that he had a Q-like role in the movie, similar to how John Cleese has taken over in the most recent installments.
He's not playing Q either, but he's in the gadget dispensary role.

That is so true. Even in Return of the Jedi, when all these new fighters like B-Wings, A-Wings, TIE Interceptors, etc. get in the mix, it's still easy to tell what is what. There's really a problem when it becomes so jumbled that all you can think of is, "Oooh, look at the pretty explosions!!!" I can't say that I remember any of the designs in Ep. III.

I certainly cannot blame him. I wonder what my reaction would have been had I popped in the DVD without already knowing that Hayden would be there instead of Sebastian Shaw. I probably would have turned to stone.

I was going to say the DeLorean time machine, but Sessler's point made sense. With all the differences in the timeline that could be made from a trip, it'd be really hard to live out all your time travelling fantasies. That said, I'd do the holodeck. I could do all of that in a risk free environment!

I don't see what was so bad about Never Say Never Again. It brought back Connery, didn't it? And that's not a bad thing. Well, if it was done now, it might be, but he looked pretty good in the '80s as a more mature Bond. Sure, an older Bond doesn't really quite fit into the continuity (what was that, in between Dalton and Brosnan?), but I think it was a pretty good Bond movie. And Mr. Bean made a pretty good Q substitute. ^_~

I've only seen the parts of Closer where she does strip, and I have to say it looks pretty good. My vote is still with Leia, but Padme gets bonus points for looking like the blonde stripper. ^_^

Actually, there are scenes when you get to see Yoda's whole body. When Yoda is walking off with Luke's lamp beckoning him to come to his house, you can see his whole body walking. And of course when Yoda is balancing on Luke.

And I just don't think the CG Yoda looks right. I've said it before, but his eyes are just different. It looks like a relative of Yoda but not Yoda. There's so much soul in those puppet eyes. That was the only good thing about the PM Yoda was that his eyes were still pretty much the same even if he looked... well, crazy, there was still an inkling of that old magic.

That's exactly what I do. When I get pissed, I'll pop in a GTA game, kill some people, and, in a few minutes, I feel very relieved. No harm done. The people regenerate. They're not real. And I actually have the sense to distinguish the difference between a game and real life. Opponents of video games might find that disturbing, but is it any more so than taking out aggressions on a punching bag or going to a shooting gallery where you're actually hitting and shooting as opposed to pushing round buttons on a controller to make someone else do it?

Dead on what I was thinking!

Ewww!!!

But still, no contest. Leia is, and will forever be, the nerds' Hottie of Choice. I bet Carrie Fisher is so proud.

I agree wholeheartedly. To be honest, I wasn't aware that they weren't recognized. Is this the first time they've ever requested this? You'd think it would have come up at some point in time before now.

Well... that isn't quite what I meant. I was just figuring he'd get a kick out of it, take everything that was said in stride, and make some bragging jokes about having his own thread, which might be taken in an entirely new direction once he gets back.

I want a crying, hurt, psychologically-damaged Kev just about as much as I would want a egomaniacal forum-destroying Kev.

Glad to see I'm not the only person who thought that lightsaber duel was crap. They should have cut everything but the last few minutes and moved the location away from those stupid little droids inches above the lava to a slightly more realistic place. You can only take suspension of disbelief so far, and they totally lost me there.

As for 3PO, I agree that he was treated like crap, and his lines were the most vile pieces of garbage in Attack of the Clones ("What a drag!" "I'm quite besides myself!" "Die, Jedi dogs!" Puh-leeze! I'm surprised Anthony Daniels didn't storm off the soundstage at that point.), I don't see why you'd say he would treat the human characters any better. All the rest of them go through poorly constructed, continuity-threatening backstories and horrific dialogue.

Probably because it was gratuitous and just there so people would go, "Ooh, Chewbacca." There are also people who say it ruins continuity because Chewbacca would believe in the Force having worked with Yoda and maybe objected when Han was making fun of Ben for it. Hell, he even makes fun of Ben himself when they're in the Death Star. If we can accept what Peter Mayhew really said in the mask as canon, then his growling there mean, "That old man is daft!"

Plus, I saw that movie twice, and both times, I just totally stopped paying attention at the Wookiee battle. I didn't mean to, but it just wasn't interesting enough to hold my attention.

One thing that you simply nailed (as well as many other people) was his lack of another writer, as well as following their suggestions. If only the other prequels could have been like Episode III - despite its own flaws.

Yeah, I don't particularly like that plan for the prequels, either. It almost seems like non-connected documentaries rather than a trilogy. At least the prequels as they are now tell some kind of story. But that layout seems more like:

"And now we see the Jedi in their natural habitat... let's watch!" Episode I
"You ever wondered where Obi-Wan Kenobis come from? Follow me!" Episode II
"And now... the scourge of all humanity! Darth Vader!" Episode III

Seems more like featurettes than movies.

Until the moment if and when Kev comes back. Then I think we'll see this thread get some new life. Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if he fell in love with this thead. How many members have had a thread named after them created by the head of a message board? Bad publicity is better than no publicity!
