If you want to dig for a reason why kids like Rots. They're kids. It's that simple.


I can understand kids liking it, but grown men! I can understand Tom Hanks in Big liking it. I could even understand a sound man diggin' it for all the wrong reasons, like one would dig the wicker man remake with nicolas 'i'm a cop, see my badge!' cage, putting the Ed Wood spin on it, but fuck man. Personal opinions are not even an issue here, it's as plain as the nose on a greek's face that revenge of the sith isn't good! And I know it shouldn't bother me that other people like it, but it does, to a certain, perverse degree, i just can't help it.

-The duel
-The turn
-The building of Darth Vader
-The force ghost issue
-The extinction of the jedi
-The birth of the twins and where they end up at
-Yoda vs The Emperor
-The rise of the Empire

------------------------------

And they we're all poorly done:

The duel: incredibly cheesy. with the excessive amount of lava and whatnot, poorly misjuged dialogue, two jedi going at it like an out of control videogame, the high ground outcome (lawl- they've been jumping super high for ages and now he can't jump over one little man?)

The turn: I still don't know what happened there. 'I'll do everything you ask master?' Sure, sure...

The building of Darth Vader- The No- line doesn't bother me, and i actually like the 'Where is padme' line, but i do not like the way they portrayed the scene. It's a little clumsy, quick and cute. And the cutting between Padme breathing and Anakin breathing was so BLAH. But it'll do for some i guess.

-The force ghost issue: Well, never really cared about that. I always took those things for granted in the original trilogy and i don't remember how they solved the issue in revenge of the sith. But like all other things in the prequels George lucas probably de-mythologized (lol)it gravely.

-The extinction of the jedi- Cheesy montage, with cheesy music, with cheesy landscapes ( what was that, a FLOWER LAND or something? This is star wars, not mario bros.) also, younglings, and the dumb grin on anakin's face when he's about to kill them hah Wow, I'm anakin"s actor, look at my evil face! This is what my face looks like under my evil mask!

-The birth of the twins and where they end up at: All I remember is a cheesy sunset copy of the original. And in the original it wasn't cheesy .
-Yoda vs The Emperor- I never thought the idea of yoda fighting was a good one and this is why. It looks mightily silly, even more so because they have this sincere, bombastic music going on in the background and whatnot. I just can't take it seriously.

-The rise of the Empire: What rise? All you see are some dudes staring out of a window.

How can people look behind the execution, it's the most important thing of a production! It's like saying a 3 year old's drawing is awesome, because the intention behind it was good! Fuck that.

Hah

I actually have only seen Attack of the clones once, and that was in the cinema. I don't remember too much of it. What i did remember was finding it strange that even christopher lee sucked in the movie. He's been in a fair share of sucky movies, but He never sucked. That says a lot about the movie itself. Well, and bad dialogue, rolling in sand and DEATHSTICKS bwhahah...

It beats AOTC is all I can say about it.


I dunno. They're both pretty awful. Tbh, I think Phantom menace is the best of the three, because it was a little mellow and didn't take itself so damn seriously, but it's still very far from being good. Oh, and all the designs in these movies suck. all the ships, all the buildings, all the traffic in the air, all the creatures.

What is with this close to universal lauding of this frankenstein of a movie?!

Shitty movies fascinate me, but i cannot conjure up any sort of fascination for this one. Yet I can for the people that genuinly love revenge of the sith. I've often seen it appear above The empire strikes back and a new hope on personal lists and everytime it feels like my heart is being eaten by a whore.

Come on, let's put our hate into something constructive and figure out what's everybody's obsession with this supposesly redeemable part of the prequel trilogy. Begin figgerin' please.

I HAVE NOT LOST THE WILL TO LIVE LIKE PADME HAD, I WANT TO FIGGER IT OUT BEFORE I LOSE IT.

Maybe George Lucas' grand grand grand grand grand grand...grandson wll view this forum from the unreachable future and will come to realize his ancestor was quite the fuckin' douchebag resulting in him feeling ill at ease and killing himself, destorying the entire Lucas lineage forever. FOREVER, unless there's like PT-shit.

edit: if i didnt do it someone else would have.

he abhorrent production values are completely mitigated by some of the finest acting ever captured for the small screen.


oh, come on now. the production values aren't that awful. They are perfectly acceptable. But I agree with the acting bit. Not only small screen, every screen. dudes all deserved oscars for this lol.

That's a real shame, C3PX. It's really worth it. I figger not much close to its greatness. you should definately try and look into, with or without bbc.

Besides i think you can get it on dvd in the states too. It's a fairly well known series. I think it's a thousand times better than rome, even though that's a great show too.

Sorry, that silly line's been devilling my mind ever since i saw polanski's macbeth. such luridness. but enuff of that, this thread shall be devoted to the awesomness of the oft heralded bbc production I, claudius!

I have only seen the entire series the last couple of weeks and had not so before. I had read robert graves novels and quite a few history books about rome before i saw this and it really added to the enjoyment.

Fuck- is this not the most brilliant 'thing' ever? Mario bros 1 has met its match. definately the greatest tv show if anything. Well...lonesome dove comes awfully close doesnt it.

What a list of extraordinary actors. my favorite episode were the ones with caligula as emperor. John hurt's eyes. jesus, so fascinatingly devious (reminds me i need to find 10, rillington place on dvd somewhere : o ). But every period was perfectly translated to screen. Never thought i would get the shakes watching Patrick stewart. what an unerving performance. l. Brian Blessed as augustus- IS THERE ANYONE IN ROME WHO HASNT SLEPT WITH MY DAUGHTER lol. and off course derek jacobi as clau-clau-claudius.

What do you guys think? and what are your favorite episodes?

The I claudius dvd was the best 8 euros i've ever spend in my life!
