Marvolo, can you repost your Dooku duel? I'd love to check it out. MegaUpload says the file's "temporarily unavailable."

Marvolo,

I really like the transitioning from the arm restraints, to Palpatine Standing. It was seemless and eliminated one of my least favorite lines in the whole movie. Thank you for that! The one thing that I did miss was the look of terror on Dooku's face when Anakin has him on his knees, head between the blades. This is where he realizes, he's met his match, and this wasn't the same boy who he had beat in AOTC. Oh yeah, that and the fact that his life was over.

Only other question, I know many people are attempting to keep the vader thing a secret, do you plan on doing this as well? Vader's music may be a bit too revealing if you are trying to keep it a secret. Also it may be a bit too early in the movie for this, as he has not yet turned to the dark side. Might be more appropriate after he chops off Mace's arm (if it's not already there, I can't remember).

Keep the clips coming! I love all the different "Point of Views".

Before any of our US friends get all high and mighty again about countries who support and harbour terrorists I feel I have to reiterate again that there was open fundraising by NORAID in the US for many years which supplied arms to the IRA and they also were a haven for many escaped terrorists.Nobody seemed to care an awful lot back then and there was no call to bomb US soil against those who would openly and very publically raise money for arms that would kill and maim in my country.
Just think it is necessary to remember these things when we talk about this kind of stuff these days.

I learned about this in US history. I am so sick of the hypocritical bullshit of this country.

Speaking of the bloody rain. I read in the paper this morning that we'll be lucky to have a summer this year. Apparently the only 'sunny' day we'll get is July 15th - -just bloody great.
Have a baby arriving any day now, and was looking forward to chilling in the sun

Originally Anakin was to kill Dooku the way he killed Windu, towards the middle of the film.
There was no Grevious, because that character was created to fill in the gap that was left when they decided to kill Dooku off within the first fifteen minutes.
Obi-Wan wasn't sent to kill Grevious/Dooku either.

And it opened with a montage of the Clone Wars being fought on seven different planets, instead of the flat rescue of Palpatine.

Deciding to kill off Dooku and replace him with Grevious opened up a lot of problems, and I think ruined the story of the first half of the movie. (Which subsequently helped ruin the story of the second half.)

That makes me happy. Thanks for the background on the publishing decision. The name "Plagieus" itself would make me fear that the book would be bad, but I wasn't enthralled with the character name "Bane" either. Is Luceno a good author?

I just looked it up, and the new book is titled "Darth Bane: Rule of Two", which sounds like it will start directly after the first one? That would be cool.

I had sparkling water coming out of my nose when I read this. Painful. Anyone who thinks PJ was faithful to LOTR needs to read the books again. I also worry that PJ would take his director's cut hubris to the hilt with something like this and produce a film even more bloated and overlong than King Kong was.

I like the idea of getting Joss Whedon invloved, and I also liked the miniseries approach. I'd like to see an adaptation of Dune financed by HBO, Showtime of Cinemax with a similar approach to that taken by Rome.

Something interesting to ponder.

Imsdb (internet movie script database) has the HP scripts.
As is frequently the case it's the shooting script, not the final cut that someone transcribed.

I've started through Chamber of Secrets (1/28/02 revision - that's 11 months before the release).

And here is what is really itching my brain:
Some of the deleted scenes that were added back for the TV broadcasts are not in the books (or were strongly altered).
The script on the other hand doesn't seem to have several of the deleted scenes.

On the other (3rd?) hand it DOES contain lots of additional dialog and scenes right from the book, but in neither cut of the film.

Hmmm.
