Episode 3 (____?____)  is for some of us super dorks just like seeing the first viewing of SW: Ep. 3.....

I mean if you would have told me when I turned 21 that in 8 years i will be following a skinny, four eyed, goofball around greater new haven county, slobbering all over him, and hanging on his every note....I would have told you to GET BENT.....so its all good...  and Ep. 3 last night was SICK.  Rough or not....I mean no other song in the history of music that I know has been more anticipated by the fans of the man who wrote it.....

I don\'t ever remember anyone saying this was a Breakfast tune. Timmy wrote it, doesn\'t mean the Breakfast have to play it. This is the perk of being on Timmy Tour. That may be the only time the song is heard for years. So, if ya\'ll think that the Breakfast are going to rip out this song, I wouldn\'t hold your breathe.

Not any time soon anyways. Tim said the band hasn\'t even heard it, let alone seen the lyrics. BTW- date at the top of the lyrics page was April 2000. Tim said he wrote it in 1998. Could easily be another 2-5 years until the unveiling of "The Monster".

gencs=12??  i should have guessed it

[Wolfman]

Ugh...shoulda seen this coming...too many Episode III threads.  Why don\'t we just add a poll thread with an Episode Matchup and get it over with?  People please, this is the MOVIE thread.  I can\'t take the same discussion in 4 different threads.  OK, if you must discuss the band here, even though they have like 5 forums to themselves, you may discuss them in this nature:

"Happy" vs. "Phantom Menace"
"Mooboo\'s Voodoo" vs. "The Clone War"
"" vs. "Revenge of the Sith"

wolfy=mad he got ripped off instead of seeing history..

[Todd]

Ummmm....so how was the movie, you saber waving geek???

[helluvahat]

Back to the point of this thread, Star Wars epi III....

I\'ve seen it twice and those will be last times I see it until its out on DVD.

I did not like it at all.  I would rate the new ones in the order they came out with the first being the best and the third being the worst, maybe tied with the second for horribeness.

I think the main reason I didn\'t like it was hayden christenson\'s acting was so bad.  The main point of the movie was to see his change to the dark side but his acting was so awful, you fail to see why he really did it.  You get a bunch of half ass reasons (except saving his Padme\'s life, though he can never act like he really cares), but in the end, he chooses power, which is something that never seemed to drive him throughout the movie.....or at least he didn\'t act like it.  

I also thought the guy that played palpatine\'s performance was horrible....since he had a large part in the movie, it wrecked it.  

I\'ve just never been in a movie (that I can remember) where the acting was so bad that ppl actually laughed at it (it happened both times I saw it).  I.e. the awful "NOOOOO" from vader, the incredibly awkward love scene on the balcony...the lists goes on.  

I thought the CG was cool, but there wasn\'t anything really amazing as compared to the first two.  Same for the fight scenes.

The middle was boring....almost put me to sleep a few times.  

I really don\'t understand all the good reviews and how anyone can compare this movie to the old ones.  But everyone is entitled to their opinion....maybe I was just expecting too much.  I just say, thank goodness that 4, 5, 6 are made and can\'t be ruined.

Worst line (among many) in the movie, by the medical droid taking care of Padme:

"She has just lost the will to live."

BARF!!!!!

I have heard similar reviews. It seems as it was a disappointment to many fans. I am not a Star Wars fan but, I don\'t think the prequels could ever live up to the original 3. Different times, different places and different mind sets working on the newer ones.
Good to hear some criticism...

I thought it was just me but I notcied this too. Definite laughing.
I gotta say, I liked the movie but don\'t think it lived up to the hype.
 I thought it did exactly what it was suppose to do, which was show how  Anikin turns into Darth Vader. The acting wasn\'t very good but the story is now complete.
