That's why TPM is IMHO the best of the prequels. Despite the plot holes, the so called "characters", and the crappy CGI, they had real sets and models for a lot of Special Effects, which made them look real. Or more real than the CGI crap of the other two.
Isn't it a bit hypocritical to like a movie simply because of real sets and models? That's like the people we criticize for saying that there's not enough CG in current movies/the prequels...


I didn't say I liked it. But due to the rules I couldn't say it sucked less than Episodes II and III. ;-)

The Phantom Menace

Everything about this single shot works for me.

"The Last Airbender". Wrong choice of actors, complete lack of humor, awkward fight scenes, but the set design was awesome.

EDIT: Did I mention that I hate this board's quote function?

Another idea to make the facebook page interactive is to ask people to modify SW quotes to fit the topic.  One was recently posted in the BR thread:

People like to riff.


You mean like:

"These are not the movies we're looking for. Move along. Move along."
"Look, Sir. Alterations."
"The Original Versions are not on the Main BluRays" (okay, that's weak)

Hell no, leave it up.  I have no problem with the repost.  I'm hoping to get some adywan-level hate in the comments. ;-)


Nope, so far you're just getting Adywan hate. lol. The usual small band of Blu-Ray.com knobs at it again. Pretty obvious its from there because the only times you see crap like that its the same type of comments and its always shortly after a video has been posted over there. And it's always the same "three eyes" mentioned in the comments too. F**king idiots. try to be anonymous yet they have posted the same crap over there, so it's obvious its them.  You can bet 99% of the idiots that always post shit like this about me would shit themselves if they ever come face to face with me. It's so pathetic its laughable.


I'm not getting the comments, but I am getting something just as silly - every comment is getting flagged as spam.  And when I unflag them, then I'm told each one has gotten too many negative votes, and there's nothing I can do about that.

Oh, and current tally is 15 up, 36 down.

People are silly.


WTF? What was so negative about my comment? There are surely some people whose mothers raised the afterbirth and threw away the child...

At the very least this is a mock-up of a possibility.


You see, that's the thing about these new additions. They look like mock-ups. They look like someone took a short while to do because they didn't need to be good. As if they were just an idea. They are not something you would expect from a company that are supposed to be one of the best special effects houses in the world.


Hey, they did that with a whole trilogy from 1999 - 2005...

Worst Dialogue from the OT.
Time

EFU said:


How about Yoda's "There is another Sky...walker" line, shouldn't he have said "another Skywalker there is"?

I don't think it's bad dialogue, and I can see why it's dramatically better to end the sentence with Skywalker, but it's kinda funny to think about.  Maybe he was so sick at this point he couldn't speak correctly anymore.  I mean uncorrectly.


Which reminds me of the german version of the novel of ROTJ:

"There is another Sky..." was translated with "Es gibt einen anderen Himmel". So "sky" was translated with what it actually means...
