I went and saw Slayer last night and some girl got on her boyfriends shoulders. She seemed like a nice girl, cute and wore glasses, but she commited a fopar by blocking the view of everone behind her. and i said, "Hey people behind you can't see! you have to flash your tits if you're going to do that, to appease the gods!" She looked at me and i just shrugged my shoulders and said "hey, I don't make up the rules."


That's a coincidence, Barend because I went to slayer too with some friends and my big brother. I couldn't see, so he hoisted me up on his shoulders. Then someone behind me shouted "Show us your tits" I'm a bit dumpy but I can take a joke, so I did.

Weird people in Sydney, eh? :-)

in a galaxy where people can surf on lava, pod racing is definatley tantamount to go carts.


but a 10 year old? give me a fucking break, when was he practicing? from the age of 3 sitting on a couple of phone books pulling the controlls with coat hangers?

to be fair the pod race is more like a motorcycle race, but the go-cart, although somewhat hyperbolous, is stil apt.

APT!!!

i defend it sir.

it was an insignificant moment in SW history that robbed us of adequate time to persue the story


the lava scenes in ROTS,..yeah..that was SILLY! That much lava and that high of temperatures, would have at least made vader & obi-wan somewhat heat-exhausted, to say the absolute least. yet, we see them both implementing each side of the force to use as invisible body coolants. damn..why didnt i think of that force concept??

lets remember that Lucas is an aficianado of racing, Lucas grew up in a time in America when muscle cars prevailed and the rebellion of the American teenager was up and becoming.
Peter Brady was by far the ugliest Brady kid on the "Brady Bunch". I mean, they were all pretty ugly, and the fact that the Brady dad wanted to always take the boys out on overnight camping trips just a tad bit too often, gave me the creeps.

force body cooling? and what was Padme using? even where she was standing, the second she left that ship, she'd have been dead in under a minute.

Jar-Jar's cousins. They can swim in lava and have an underlava base?

There's always a bigger fish explanation.

Yes, Joke. I do home brewing. You don't want to see me without my shirt off. Mental Image of my sitting on my little brother's shoulders with my shirt off waving at you? A thousand Slayer fans cry out in terror... :-)

Again I find myself recommending the ROTS DVD commentary to fellow Chefelves. The CGI losers said 'we added the blow glow underneath the hover platforms because we realized it would get very hot so this is why they don't melt' (that's from memory, but it's pretty close). The CGI losers had *far* too much control over this story.

I look at that Wookie Planet battle and there is so much CGI it seems fake. Something is missing, or maybe the something is 'too much'

I don't remember seeing the blue lava protection at the movies or on the bootleg taped at the movies.

i do still have the booty somewhere, so i should check.

maybe they read chefelf's review and posts here and thought they better fix it.

but, NOT FIXED ENOUGH.

Personally I would have preferred a go kart race. Something along the lines of Mario Kart. It would have been great if Sebulba had hot a red shell at Anakin but Anakin counteracted it with a string of banana peels.

Sometimes I start feeling sorry for the PT. I start thinking, you know, maybe its not as bad as all that. And sometimes my pity gets mingled with my boredom and I think, ‘maybe I’ll wash some of that sand out of my vagina and have another look at the PT.’

So, I dust off the old DVD cases and I pop in TPM, which I enjoy the most of the three. Of course when I say ‘enjoy’ I mean ‘despise the least.

After I pop some popcorn, open a Guiness and hit PLAY, I begin to feel the vague beginnings of some all to familiar emotions. From the time it takes for the FBI WARNING to show up on the screen to the DISC MENU to do its thing, I have gone from curiosity (at whether or not its going to be as painful as I remember), to guilt (as I know I’m consciously wasting precious minutes out of my life that I will never get back), to shame (knowing that I would be mortified should anyone discover I was watching them of my own free will).

And then… the opening crawl…

And just as the yellow paragraphs are fading into the starry oblivion, the deep despair and sickening boredom have set in entirely and I realize, while I have firmly resolved to watch the entire movie all the way through, I have neither the stomach, nor the balls to do so.

Instead, I scramble hurriedly for the remote control and skip all the way to the last fight scene with Darth Maul, Obi-wan and Quigon, making sure I skip through all the stupid Naboo/Space battles in between.

Then I turn it off and go scrub some grout or something.

On the other hand, despite the fact I have seen episodes 4, 5, and 6 in upwards of 30 times each, I can still turn any of them on and make it all the way through without hitting SKIP, and not feel too bad about the lost hour and a half when its all said and done.

No matter how bad I start feeling for the PT at times, there's still really no good excuse for defending it.
