I would have preferred the Droid Control Ship mission instead of the Factory scene. In the DCS mission, you have a handful of non-major Jedi who's fate is undecided(Anakin, Padme, R2, and 3P0 HAVE to survive the factory) which will lend a bit of suspense and uncertainty to the scene. Not to...
Actually Dan, I've been more angry at the fact that theaters use unfocused projectors to display some of these films...
It's not the film because the trailers are blurry and fuzzy too....
Imagine a shrunken 2.35:1 image in the middle of the 2.35:1 screen and that's the only part that was...
True Robert.....I don't know why either... I like TPM and AOTC, but when someone talks about GL, I just say, I'm glad GL exists, even if I'm not 1000% behind his decisions sometimes....
Like was said in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back:
"That's the stupidest idea since Greedo shooting first!"...
Robert: The difference between poking a little fun at someone's favorite movie and belittling the same movie can all be in tone and expression. Something that's extremely difficult to tell thru type/text.
Also, when someone likes the film and makes a joke about it, its passed off as...
Patrick:
If Aaura Sing(2 seconds of non-speaking screen time) can have a POTJ figure made, then Dorme is a LOCK!!!!
Heck, I can't wait for the Aayla Secura figure next year....
She had almost four times as much screen time as Aaura....
Warning: Actual discussion without saying the film was good or bad:
Does anyone know why Obi-Wan says "That was good" after he and Anakin pass through the purple power couplings????
This is a really bad line that leaves me thinking what the heck did he say that for....
Something I noticed at the TFN boards....
They're trying to organize an AOTC day...this Saturday...
They say everyone go see it on Saturday and take a friend....
I told them if everyone who posted went, they might effect the box office by about 5%. If everyone who READ it went, it would...
It's amazing Terrell how one scene/character can garner polar opposite opinions....
I've heard Obi-Wan/Dex was great. And I've heard it was terrible....that he had nothing to interact with and it came off flat....
I've heard Dex was awesome and also that he sucked more than Jar Jar...
Brian: Is that what you think will happen????
OR...is that what you hope/want to happen????
;)
My 29.4 is based on a drop between 35-45% from last week...
Next time you see the flick, watch the background as Obi-Wan goes to talk with Yoda.....Not the duck Jedi, not the wuss Jedi, but the blue one after that.
;)
Ah.....nothing can top my sexy twi-lek though.....
;)
IF I had a smaller pic I'd post it here...but I can't find any decent looking ones...
Just imagine her walk towards the camera as Obi-Wan goes to talk to Yoda....
I'll say:
AOTC: 29.4M
TSOAF: 28M
UB: 22M
Spidey: 16M
Insomnia: 14M
Spirit: 13M
Enough: 11M
It'll be very spread out as three flicks will be in their second weekends off 20M plus openings...Plus AOTC and Spidey joinging two new flicks...
The good news:
The Scorpion King will...
Maybe that's why Spidey is liked more?????
OK...bad form.....
Eric: If you go to TFN's AOTC forum, there's a thread called "Aayla Secura Discussion Thread."
Lots of pics of Secura and Amy Allen who played her. There's also a cool couple of shots of Hasbro's plans for her action...
Obi-Wan's line:
"And these blasts points, too precise for Sand People. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise."
Maybe he's not seen the results of an Imperial Stormtrooper shot for 20 years????
Boxofficeguru.com says that AOTC got 6.4M on Thursday...off just 1.5% from Wednesday....
Not bad......
And I noticed that AOTC was the only film averaging $1000 or more per theater from Tuesday on....
Of course, one defense of TPM not "looking" like SW, is that it's much earlier in the time period....
I don't expect to watch a movie set in the 1980's and then see it's "prequel" set in the 40's and expect them to look the same....
And as Ben said in ANH:
"Before the dark time, before the...
Chris:
Honestly, my expectations were exceeded on AOTC...not the case with TPM, although it has several great moments...I felt TPM was good for a SW movie.....AOTC was good as a movie period.
Terrell: I agree...why would someone else enjoy the fact that someone didn't like the movie.....
I'd be ticked off just for not enjoying the movie....who cares if anyone else didn't....I wouldn't somehow feel better if everyone else hated it...Because I ultimately would have wasted my time...
