umm, the URL isn't working, can ya fix it?

But anyway, if you really think that GG is really that bad and are apologizing for defending him, then I guess it's OK... we all make mistakes every now and then.

The voice is bad enough - and very difficult to make out, although that's probably the compression's fault. But the dialogue - oy! "Jedi slime! You fool!" All that's needed to complete the scene is if Grievous cackles like a madman.

Oh, I listened to it. When I first hear of General Grievous I thought that he looked and sounded WAY too over the top. Then I heard his voice just now and realize that his name and appearence pale in comparison to the sound of his voice. He makes the cackling idiot boy Emperor in ROTJ look tame.

Holy mother of spit, that is crappy! How can anyone help but laugh at this character?

Taking things over the top can sometimes be the right thing to do, but it certainly isn't justified in this case. Grievous is suppose to be a very clever tactician, masterminding the confederate war effort. He's also suppose to be terrifying and dangerous. Lucas: "So let's make him sound like a one dimensional cartoon loon that would make Golden Age comicbook villains gasp with shame".

My thoughts so far regarding ROTS and PT:

First off, TPM sucked. It sucked because of various reasons which have been discussed by all of you guys. It was a movie for little children.
Then came AOTC, which sucked on a whole different level. Now we got an annoying teenager and a Dawsons Creek loveaffair...

I've read many posts regarding ROTS and all your predictions that it will suck even more than TPM and AOTC but I haven't been convinced so far...

Until I heard that soundclip. My God there are no limits to how bad PT can suck..... Everytime you stop to think: "can PT really get worse?" something horrible comes along.

Good day

oh man, I've been sitting here rewinding the part where he says "COUNT.....DOOOOOKOOOOOOOO" over and over. Pure unadulterated (unintentional?) comedy.

and the line he says before that "I will deal with this Jedi slime myself!"

"Jedi slime"? WTF? Surely there could have been something a little more creative and threatening than that contrived, cheesy bullshit. Oh wait I forgot, GEORGE LUCAS wrote his lines!!

Lucas historically hasn't been so good with insults. ROTJ contains my least favourite, when Han calls Jabba a "slimy piece of worm-ridden filth", Harrison Ford audibly stumbles over the line; it's a clumsy line. Leia's "nerf herder" expletive is also bad, and her saying to Tarkin, "I recognised your foul stench when I was brought on board," isn't awful but it's not good either.

In Episode I we have Palpatine telling someone, "I want this stunted slime out of my sight." That's a bad line and, again, Ian McDiarmid stumbles over it a little.

By contrast there's Lando's "you slimy double-crossing no-good swindler", a line that I've quoted a couple times. Maybe it's just because Billy Dee Williams delivers it well.

I love Leia's line in ANH. Oh well.

But, yeah, Han's delivery in ROTJ is just bad, but not as bad as what's in the prequels.

Again, I love the nerf-herder line. Forgive me. smile.gif

Yeah, the difference is all those lines, although awkward sounding, were delivered in a competant manner; you didnt really spend time thinking about how cheesy the line actually was thanks to Carrie, Harrison, etc.

I cant lie though; I LOVED the way Mcdarmind delivered that "I dont want this stunted slime in my sight again". Just the perfect mix of threatening and authoritative.

Ian McDiarmid is great. His lines and delivery may be melodramatic, but that's the way I like it for these films. My only beef is that the lines and their content need to have purpose and either 1) push the plot 2) reveal character.

I just heard the clip... and he sounds like a pathatic minor villain from a fantasy RPG.

I had some thought that Gervious might have some teeny tiny little redeeming factor... I honestly admit that I am wrong... so very wrong.
