Romances AS bad or worse than Episode II's?
Time
The quote unquote "romance" of Anakin Skywalker and Padme something or other will probably go down as one of the worst - if not THEE absolute worst - in the long, sad history of bad cinematic romances. But can we think of others that are almost as bad if not as bad or worse than the unnatural pairing of Anakin and Padme? Let's give it a try.

First up, I nominate Will Smith's agent Jay and Rosario Dawson's what's-her-name girl in Men In Black 2. That was not a very pleasant "romance" to sit through either.

Then there were the laughably bad "romances" of Daredevil and Elektra, in which Elektra is either supposed to be falling in love with Daredevil/Matt Murdock (in the former) or Mark Miller (in the latter). Neither one is convincing.

Anymore... oh yeah, the contrived romance of Halle Berry and Benjamin Bratt in Catwoman. And the not too believable love story of Keira Knightley's Guinevere and Clive Owen's Arthur in King Arthur.

Can you guys think of anymore?

Who cares what George Lucas opposes? The hypocrite spouts off about the importance of keeping black and white films black and white because it's our national heritage but refuses to let future generations have the Star Wars trilogy in its original format. Isn't Star Wars a part of our f***ing national heritage?

This Jedi/Jesus thing is kind of weird. It reminds me of when I subjected myself to AOTC the first time; Obi-Wan Kenobi looked as if he had escaped from a Jesus Christ painting with the long hair, scraggy beard and the robe.

Yes it would. Darn PC hollywood hackjobs.

Though, there are GI Joe movies, just not theatrical. They are CGI, and one of them is called "Valor vs Venom"


I actually saw that - it was okay but the CGI worked better for "Beast Wars: Transformers". They kinda screwed General Hawk.

I doubt it. A movie like that would tend to portray the military in a positive light, which is the last thing Hollywood wants. If they were to be able to make it so there's a whole lot of moral ambiguity, and can paint Cobra almost as being the victims in the situation, then I think they'd make it.


That would suck.
