[Ferris Wiel]

how about this...
dookie: "this force fight is just pointless"[turns on lightsbare]"i'ii just have to kill you the old fashioned way..."
yodle: "your ass I will kick, you vampire looking mutherfucker!"
dookie:"bring it on snot grover"

now that's enterrainment...

Now this has given me an idea. After seeing both your post barend as well as Ferris' I think a little collaboration is in order. Here are the some team ups I'd like to see penning scripts:

1. barend and Ferris Wiel
2. Mike Mac and Civ#2 (this one I also require the writing process to be filmed)
3. Jon Gutner and Chefelf
4. Vwing and Just your average movie fan

Anyone else got any ideas?

That sounds like it would be a blast. If such an endeavor were to be undertaken, though, I wonder what type of script would be written.

Although I think the film of Mike Mac and Civ #2's writing process would probably do better at the box office than all the new films combined.

I suspect we'd fight like George and Ira Gershwin, but without their success. All the same. I appreciate the compiment, and the notion that disagreement is the only real test of an idea. Had Lucas had some folks on the last two movies he made with the power to question a decision or two, or had he had such folks working with him on the "Special" Editions, they would not have been so compromised.

I haven't contributed any worst lines yet because I've been trying to suppress the memory. But it's not working. I'm actually having a little trouble choosing the worst one between these two:

"This party's over." - Samuel L. Motherf#@%ing Jackson (a.k.a Mace Windu)

"Around the survivors, a perimeter, create." - Yoda

The first one annoys me because people don't talk like that in Star Wars.... this is not Pulp Fiction (a good reason why big name actors shouldn't be used in films like this - it's too tempting to get them to act like some of their other characters).

However the second one takes the Yoda talking backwards thing too far. Now, he's re-arranging the order of words within the sub-clauses of his sentences. At this rate, by Episode III, it will be complete babble:

"You force will with the always be."

Add this to the fact that Yoda delivered this line to a bunch of soldiers. It is a command, General Yoda. Let's keep it direct and simple, okay?

So which is the worst line of the two? I can't decide.

Yoda: "Formidable, you are, Tyrannus."
Dookie: "This show of strength is pointless..." *SNAP-HISS*

Dookie turns on his lightsaber and lashes out quickly. Even quicker, Yoda reacts, side-stepping...and whacking Dookie in the back of the legs with his cane.

This would have been preferrable over the Sonic the Hedgehog fighting, and it would've made more sense as it's like the old Samurai films which Lucas borrows so liberally from; a warrior who thinks he knows it all, takes on a sensei, and the sensai takes him out with the simplest of weapons.

Although I think the film of Mike Mac and Civ #2's writing process would probably do better at the box office than all the new films combined. Often, real life can be a lot more entertaining than events a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, hey?

He he he. That's what I had in mind when mentioning filming the creative process. It would likely be the only reality TV show that I'd watch.

I recently remembered this particular one. When Yoda confronts Count Dookoo (ah, what a name!), one of the things he says to him is:

"I sense the dark side in you."

Really Yoda? You sense the dark side in this guy after he's just killed a heap of Jedi and caused twenty minutes of senseless carnage? You don't say...

[Sagacity]

It's just mind-boggling how much better things would have gone if GL had turned down his inner control freak and hired a screenwriter who cared about SW and knew what the heck he/she was doing. And maybe have somebody with the courage enough to say, "no, George, you can't do that!" But they'd be drawing unemployment checks after that.

"I sense the dark side in you."

Really Yoda? You sense the dark side in this guy after he's just killed a heap of Jedi and caused twenty minutes of senseless carnage? You don't say...

he senses the dark side in dorku, but doesn't even notice the force (dark or not) in palpatine...

totally weak...

[CowboyCurtis]

Too true!!

While returning home from Atlanta last night, I tuned in to the Fox station on the car radio for the Simpons. I'd have sworn I heard someone say "Jango Fett", and, yup, it was on tv last night.

Which was a coincidence because just earlier that day I was thinking "I guess it's about time they put that tripe on the tube again".

This time I wasn't rolling my eyes at the screen, but at the darkening road ahead. And I was hanging on to every stinking word. Here are a couple of the vomit-inducing passages:

Yoda: "Send the Jedi we have left to Geonosis."

Trooper: "Are you alright?"
Padme: (composes self) "Uh-huh."

3PO: "It's Master Anikan. Thank the maker."

The old 50's robot (remember Clonkey from Pee Wee's playhouse?) was funny.

Annie: "I hate them. I hate them so much"

Klieg: "...my darling wife."


btw: Whatever Happened to Mike Mac from NYU?

edit: Mace said something like: "We should inform the senate that our ability to use the force has diminished".

Lucas' subconcious way of saying: "I'm a fraud."

I'm surprised no one's yet mentioned C3PO's punning and clowning while the Jedis are fighting a battle in the arena on Geonosis. "Oh, this is such a DRAG!" "I'm quite beside myself!" Brrrr.

Any of the lines during the "romance" scene...

I was in a theater on opening day of AotC, and on heavy duty painkillers following a serious injury. The dope did NOTHING to improve the scene.

There is nothing like the sound of an entire audience snickering, especially where "inappropriate" to the "mood of the scene" which was supposed to be touching, trying not to howl or groan aloud.

Now, I don't know if I misheard the line, or if I watched an "alternate version" of the movie, but I could have sworn that Anakin said something like this:

"I can't stop thinking of you. I have dreamed of you, thought of you, every day since we first met, but now that I'm here, I can't think of what to say."

I turned to my brother and stage whispered, "Maybe he should try the direct approach, like 'Hey baby, I'd like to jump your bones!' "

This had two effects - first of all, my brother bent over double and shot Mountain Dew out his nose, and the guy behind us heard, and lost it. I haven't heard a sound like that since I went to the zoo and heard a mule braying. The rest of the audience busted up about this time too, because this guy's laugh was not only very loud, but appropriate, especially given the context of what was on screen.
