Yeah, I own the Spice Girls's entire discography, but I bought them used, so I'm still cool. :)
This isn't the "List The Music You Own" thread, Boosty.
I honestly felt like the bunker scenes were bad takes and they just didn't "flow" or "move" correctly. They seemed clunky and claustrophobic and squeezed-in.

...looking back, i guess its surprising that at least chewbacca was still peter mahew in a suit.
And yet they still managed to blow that one.
Maybe it's best they overused CGI because they might have also screwed up with physical props as well.
Trimmed. Shaven isn't bad, though. Natural I assume is like flossing. Eugh.
Cake or Frosting.
Futz.

But it's so short, I wonder why it was cut!
That's what she said.
They're out in force since the deleted scenes were up.
French Horn.
Maybe.

That's too bad, but I'm not too torn up.
Huge R.E.M. fan, but this stuff happens. They have plenty of awesome classics to listen to.
Google your plus.
Shorter Than You Expected
Man, I must be older than I thought...

Han: "Kid, I've flown from one end of this galaxy to the other and...well, actually now that you mention it, I used to hang around the Jedi a lot. It was really impressive, especially since I was 13 and still easily wowed by things like telekinesis and magic and feats of inhuman strength."
Kenobi: "Wait, you knew the Jedi?"
Han: "Sure. Is Yoda still around? I used to personally give him intel during the wars. Chewie used to give him piggie back rides, no joke."
Kenobi: "Holy shit, you guys knew Yoda? He's hiding on Dagobah."
Han: "Hey, you know what? Why don't we stop by and say hi. He would probably be helpful with this whole bringing-down-the-empire thing you're involved with."
Luke: "What? You said the Jedi were all but extinct!"
Kenobi: "Yeah, all but extinct. All but Yoda."
Luke: "Why wouldn't you say anything? And why have you guys been sitting around so long? Is this Yoda any good?"
Han: "I'm pretty sure he was like the President of the Jedi."
Kenobi: "Yeah, he's the most powerful person in the universe actually, and he trained me so I'm pretty tight with him. I can't believe I never thought of that."
Han: "Wait, I don't remember him training anyone."
Kenobi: "Well...technically, I was trained by this Qui Gon guy."
Luke: "And then you trained that guy, Darth Vader? The guy who killed my father."
Han: "Woah, woah, woah. You trained Darth Vader??"
Luke: "You've heard of him too?"
Han: "How could you have not?! Do you even know what you are doing here?"
Luke: "All the cool kids on Tatooine were joining the rebellion, so..."
Han: "And if you were Darth Vader's master I want all of you guys off this ship!"
Kenobi: "Relax, this was before he was evil. In fact, I pretty much killed him once and that's why he's in the suit."
Luke: "I can't believe you didn't mention any of this to me. Was this after he killed my father, Anakin Skywalker?"
Han: "Wait, your father was Anakin Skywalker?"
Luke: "You've heard of him too?!"
Han: "Well, back then everyone did, he was kind of famous. Don't they have Google on Tatooine? Then he became the Emperor's right hand man and kind of disappeared after he got into a fight with his former master...."
Kenobi: "Heh heh. So anyway Luke, about this mission..."
Luke: "Ben, what the fuck!! Is anything you told me true?? Well, maybe this won't be so bad if I can bang that smoking hot princess."
Kenobi: "Yeah, about that..."
ANH 3D, coming soon.
Scary. My puzzler hurts.
Lucas: So this is your new line, Vader...
Vader: No... NOOOOO!
Lucas: Yes, just like that.

Outstanding Charlie Brown reference. Nicely done, sir.
I'm glad someone caught it. :)
Oh crap, I totally got it after AH mentioned it. Now I feel like a dweeb.
I'm thinking it was Mark Twain originally.

"You could use a good kiss" is gone.
Whaaaat.
Just do what I do and don't show up for a week or so at a time.
This place can move a little quick for me (I frequent one other forum that averages maybe 10-20 posts total a day), so coming here sometimes is a little intimidating, especially for someone who feels like they have to keep up with every topic, so sometimes I don't even come here until I've worked up the gumption to read everything.
Either that or stop caring about what other people think of religion or politics.
Hinder.
Tex Avery?
Oh, good.
One can never be too careful anymore...

Its not a real outright hate, because at the end of the day, I still have my memories and feelings of the original trilogy, and the stylistic, acting, and story decisions are so contrasting that its pretty easy to just to place the films in discontinuity. I can still sit down and watch ANH, ESB, or ROTJ on VHS and love them. A few bad movies can't make enjoy them any less, no more than badly done Sonic games will take away my enjoyment of those of the 16 bit era.
No, what I feel towards the prequels is more of a quiet disappointment and sadness at what they could have been. Call it the writer's mind at work, but I can't help but look at so many elements of those movies as so much lost potential. Yeah, any films that came out were bound to have some that dislike it, but part of me does lament that of all the stories of the Republic and Anakin Skywalker we could have had, that's what we got.
It also has me feeling some pity for Lucas, as I think had he stepped away and let others in as far as working on the films, then maybe he wouldn't be dealing with quite such a mixed reputation and divisive fanbase. His frustrating decisions regarding the original trilogy restoration aside, its quite unfortunate that such an imaginative thinker and a guy who loved film so much will have a legacy written with a "yeah, but..." for all his cinematic achievements.
This, this; a thousand times this.
