Bump for relevancy to the What Do you Like in the PT? Thread.

Bump.

Jar Jar aside, I'm probably the only one on this forum who actually liked the prequels ¬_¬ I wish they weren't a huge bad-CGI-fest, but somehow I'm able to look past that and really get into them in a way that I probably shouldn't. Maybe it's only because I missed out seeing the original trilogy in theatres, and seeing Eps 2 and 3 on the big screen was a pretty big event for me.

This may make me a bad person... but I was only in it to mess with Chaz.

 I rest my case.  ;)

It would have.  But I will have gone back in time to stop...

There's something very familiar about all this. [/biff]

Turnkey solutions available for about $50k.  My wife told me 'no'.

That's a lot of love/money poured into that thing. I want.

I'll probably just end up with this. I have enough Geek Points to get it for free with a $50 purchase.

That's a pretty good price for it.  Amazon has it for $45 or something.  Toys'R'Us only has the whitewall MKIII, but it is for that same price.

But I think I'd rather have a MKII.  Which thinkgeek doesn't apparently have.  :(

I love The Man with the Golden Gun!

I used to feel special, when C3PX told me he loved me.

Turns out he loves a lot of men.  And now one with a Golden Gun.  Not so special, as it turns out.  :(

IGNORE, everybody!

Except Ringo and C3PX.

In other news, [more Big Daddy Toy News] 

 I don't think you're using "In Other News" correctly.  ;)

My son was the spy the one-and-only time we did it.  It probably helped that he was wearing a RotJ-Jedi-Luke-Brown-Robe at the time.

Oh, a Canadian, eh?

DANG IT!  xhonzi am TV's Frink sock confirmed.

Which segments did you get to see?

Back to the Future III is a perfect example of this.  Now BTTFIII is an OK sequel, but they have the typical 'Marty wakes up next the Lea Thompson character and doesn't know what year it is...."  or "Marty had to evade Biff or Griff cause he insults him and Biff/Griff usually ends up in horseshit.

I think the reason of this is the writer feels you know the characters at this point, so they know its an easy laugh to bring up something from the original movie just in a different setting in the 3rd movie. 

I brought this up in the post right above yours. 

I do think that BTTF3 was painted into a corner somewhat by BTTF2.  It was sort of damned if you do & if you don't scenario.

CP3S said:

I know, right?

Sounds brilliant!

 My mind is racing just trying to figure out what it would be.  There are so many possibilities!

 DO WANT.

EDIT: DANG IT!  C3PX made the joke first.

Someone (perhaps Zombie) allegated that while the larger plot structure of Star Wars may have been borrowed from Hidden Fortress (as is often retold) that the bits inside the Death Star seem to be coming from elsewhere.  This person hypothesizes that those scenes are adapted from Where Eagles Dare, what with the wookiee prisoner and all that.  And then Dam Busters for the finale.

'Where eagles Dare'

 

Thrilling.

10 balls out of 11

 

(minus one ball because common sense got in the way in one bit)

Are you aware of the Star Wars connection to Where Eagles Dare?

EDIT: I think Zombie might have written about it in his book.

Mini-Death Star is a dish best served cold.

Then you could make me... JUMP!  JUMP!*

RIP Peter Falk.  :(

With the 4th of July coming up, it will be time once again to watch people try to capture the magic of fireworks on their cameras.  It's especially bad when they use their phone cameras.

My theory is that they started doing this years ago and haven't seen fireworks with their naked eyes for some time.  When they see the video or the pics, they think they look pretty good.

Unfortunately I experienced something similar when I had to record my daughter's dance recital the other day.  Since I had to watch it through the camera, I missed out on enjoying the live performance.

But I can watch the camera version any time I'd like.  :(
