Not bad, but what a wretched outfit. It looks like she was in the fridge too long and started growing mould.

But Adam you proved my point, because the kiddiness of the ewoks hurts the seriousness of ROTJ. The great thing about ANH & ESB is the characters were funny, but they were not made just for comic relief. They were funny in the situation bickering at each other, and it doesn't come out as forced or just for a laugh. The PT Jar Jar was made just for comic relief and it just sticks out of the scenes.

Look at Back to the Future, I love that movie, probably right behind SW in my book, but it is a damn funny movie, but they didn't have any characters in there just to get laughs. Zemeckis used Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, who had great chemistry, and made it funny that Marty McFly's mom had the hots for him. There was nothing forced where you knew the director said, "OK this character is just for humor, that is his job."

That is what Jar Jar was for, and it failed. But there was a bigger issue that TPM really went too kiddy than it needed to, and I am telling you alot of fans who are younger than us who loved it, in 10-15 years are going to cringe at the humor. Trust me, I LOVED ROTJ at 10 years old, 20 years later, I still like it, mostly for Luke, Leia, and Han, but I realize this movie is alot more kiddie than ANH & ESB, and that is one of the reasons it doesn't hold up well. It isn't about just a dark movie, cause ANH is a great movie that isn't dark, its just about not catering to a younger audience that makes the movie juvenile at times, and that is my big beef with TPM.

V For Vendetta looks interesting, but I'm going to make sure it's not universally panned first.

I'm so scratching my head over this. Yes, she'd make a great Mary Jane just as Kirsten would have made a great Gwen. But didn't they blow the Gwen storyline already in Spidey 1, combining Gwen and MJ into one character? Gwen was the girl next door, and Gwen was the one where Spidey had to choose between the busload of kids or saving Gwen. And unlike the movie, they had some real drama where he chose to save the kids and Gwen died as a result. None of the over-the-top "I can save them both" story that we got.

I have no idea where Raimi is going with this. With Spidey 1, I didn't hold my breath that it would be good, saying "They better not screw it up." I was pleasantly surprised as a result. Then I did the same with Spidey 2, and with MJ looking like ragged-out-hell and "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" not withstanding, I liked 2 even more than 1.

Right now, Spidey 3 has me worried that it's entering Batman & Robin territory. This film has a much better cast IMO, but too many characters = an unfocused p.o.s. I hope I'm duly surprised once again. But I'm not holding my breath. Lowered expectations = greater enjoyment of what you get.

do modern kids even give a shit about he man now? i hope not since all those cartoon shows from the 80's were money making schemes to get parents to buy crap action figures because their kids were marketed to by half hour commercials disguised as tv shows

At least she has the eyes for it....just bleach her hair, presto!

Not that I have a fucking clue who Gwen Stacy is, or what part she plays in Spiderman folk lore, but apparently she's supposed to have these amazing green/blue eyes!!!
