to clarify my question, why would you repeatedly see a movie you cared so little about the plot evaporated from your mind the second after you saw it? or was the amnesia THAT strong?
― da croupier, Wednesday, 29 September 2010 15:36 (thirteen years ago) link
I apologize if this was already addressed, but why would you see this movie 4 or 5 times?
Ok, I've seen it twice, then watched part of The Phantom Edit, then watched the rifftrax once twice.

How the hell can you not know the story if you've seen it 4 or 5 times? It's not even remotely complicated.

Would think Attack of the Clones & Revenge of the Sith would be the easiest to do, since the sets are all CGI anyways, all they need to do is find the original files and put it 2nd camera & re-render. With improved computer technology, render times for even the most complicated scenes should be drastically shorter than originally.

And shame on Roger Ebert for lauding visuals over story and characters. He KNOWS better.

He's ALWAYS done that. He gave Spawn, a movie that's arguably even worse than the Phantom Menace (and has even worse effects), three and a half stars.

some points in favor of dark city:kiefer is pretty good as the nerdit never inspired any fanfiction (i have this theory that fanfiction is a kind of autoimmune response by an audience spurred by intrinsic defects in the source material [this would be supported if we could count up the number of prequel fanfics vs. original trilogy])
i can't think of any in favor of spawn.

I wonder if this is happening because someone complained the characters in the prequels "were two-dimensional" and Lucas got confused.

calling them two-dimensional is being generous

Especially that scene with the shapeshifter assassin and Obi-Wan is hanging onto that flying droid and Anakin is chasing after them. You know that scene is just going to be five minutes of shit and wacky aliens in flying clown cars careering towards you constantly.

(actually it's quite well made, and feels old school Star Wars-y. I like the scene wipes, or whatever they're called. Despite that, it still somehow leaves a bad taste)

Yes, it does. Pretty good, but not as good as the ep 2 review. Really like how he pointed out certain things that were spoiled because of the over-reliance on green screen, like Obi-Wan's non-reaction at a four-armed robot unsheathing multiple lightsabers right in front of his face. Also the bit about how unimaginatively the talking scenes were shot.
