Chefelf.com Night Life: Darth Pants - Viewing Profile

The only new thing I learned from watching the prequels once again - and let me tell you that it was a painful experience, especially the Anakin/Padme romance in AOTC - was the word Poodoo. It's uttered twice to my knowledge, once in TPM and once in AOTC. And the thing I like about it is that it describes the series PERFECTLY.

I call it the series because I personally believe that the Prequels and the OT are different beasts, altogether. The OT wasn't perfect, but it was engaging and a load of fun to watch, unlike the POODOO that is the PT.

Let's see:

2) Shia Le Beouf
3) His siblings, the monkeys.
4) Irena Spalco.
5) Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear explosion at less than close range because Georgie and Stevie wanted some fancy CGI in this flick.
6) Totally derived stunts from the older Indiana Jones movies amped X3 - so much for originality!
7) Too little of Marion Ravenwood
8) Movie reeks of CGI
9) A statue of Marcus Brodie, and pictures of Willie Scott and Henry Jones Sr. do not nostalgia bring!
10) It's Nuclear, not Nuculur!
11) Since when did Indy become a goddamn war hero?
12) Since when did Indiana Jones start emulating James Bond?
13) Does anyone give a damn about Charlie and Huxley?

I just watched this again after a gap of years and realise that the phantom movie can be reviewed in one word - and that word is:

POODOO!

Thanks George for making preview reviews so much easier.

LOL!

I agree with you, Obi Wan Dumbledore didn't need to die at that point, but his death was the only high point in Half Arsed Prince, take that away and the book is, well, DULL.



Yes, it would be nice but Rowling's just too damn conservative to make him the next dark lord. Her writing has not impressed me a bit, so far.

When book 4 was released Rowling said that a major character was going to be killed - that major character turned out to be Cedric Diggory. Then she killed another two-bit character, Sirius Black, in book 5. Sirius may be Harry's godfather, but since he's introduced in late book 3, we don't care much for him. Obi Wan Dumbledore's the only long-standing character she's killed, 6 books into the series and that's ridiculous, IMO. More long standing characters should've bit the dust by now.



Harry' s too inept to become the next dark lord. We're told that Riddle was studious and brilliant. Harry, well, he's another story, altogether. Honestly, I can't see him defeating Palpy Voldy. Rowling will do something cheesy and contrived to make that happen - wanna bet that the raging munster in Harry's chest will defeat the Dark Lord?

You mean Harry Potter and the Half-Arsed Prince? Yes, it was totally dull apart from Obi Wan Dumbledore's death. Rowling seems to be fairly adept at writing cheesy romances, though - HAP was full of 'em!



You forget to talk about their bickering. Not like Han/Leia, in my opinion, but more like R2D2 and C3PO.



LOL! But I do feel that Rowling lacks the guts to do that. There's no way she's going to turn Harry into the next "dark lord" - she's already said time and time again that HP isn't Star Wars. In fact, I was perusing her interviews and I got the impression that she was trying to distance HP from SW.



IMO The only semi-decent book that Rowling's written is book 3 - coincidently, that was the only book in which Voldy (I know, it rhymes with Palpy) does not face Harry.



I agree.
