Episode 3

She also said Portman was better looking when she was younger, which is true.

Ok, now the question is when you read that how many of you were thinking of The Professional. You sick, sick bastards!

[WayAbvPar]

Beautiful Girls, actually. FWIW, I think she is hotter now.

[Jayce]

Twins are a good omen?

I thought she was a bit fruity up to that point, but that sentence just dumped a barrel of assorted apples and oranges on the article.

[Evil Elvis]

I think twins actually are considered good luck in China.

She *was* pretty hot in the Professional.

I think I just burped up a little 13 year old vomit.

You need some fiber in your diet!

I die now, a crushed and broken soul.

Steven cries at Star Wars

By SIMON ROTHSTEIN
Sun Online

DIRECTOR Steven Spielberg was moved so much by pal George Lucas' final Star Wars movie – he burst into tears at the end.

Steven's weepy moment came at a screening of Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith last week.

But he's unashamed by his tears, insisting fans will also cry because the film's moving conclusion marks the end of Lucas' epic story.

Steven said: "I saw it about a week ago and it's absolutely amazing.

"It's the best of the last three episodes. It's the best way you could possibly imagine for George to finish it off.

"It has a tremendous ending and it's very dark."

[Samprimary]

In an episode of 60 Minutes set to air this Sunday, director George Lucas says the content of Revenge of the Sith, the final chapter of his Star Wars saga, finds Anakin Skywalker journeying to a volcano-filled hell to make a pact with the devil.

With Anakin's walk on the dark side, and the movie's increased violence, Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith will be ''way too strong'' for young children — and might be the first film in the franchise to earn a PG-13 rating, Lucas tells interviewer Leslie Stahl. ''[The film] is much more dark...more emotional,'' he adds. ''I don't think I would take a 5- or a 6-year-old to this.''

[Daydreamer]

Any movie featuring Hayden Christensen getting tortured is worth seeing at least once.

I'd burst into tears if I had Lucas' cock in my mouth at the end of Episode III also.

[stray]

I bet that all of you will like it. And if you want to make this about money, I can oblige  (well, maybe not...).

I haven't liked a single star wars yet. Empire Strikes Back is the "best" of them and I only rate it as tolerable.

Now, if every Star Wars had been 100% Han Solo, I would have enjoyed them. But why bother? Han wasn't near a cool as Indiana.

"These people are shooting at us-"
"I know dad!"

"...well, it's a new experience to me."

"'Happens to me all the time."

"No time for shitty sci-fi, Dr. Jones."

Here, let me throw this out there:

Event Horizon is better than Star Wars (the two trilogies as a whole).

Equilibrium and eXistenZ are better than The Matrix (the trilogy as a whole).

Discuss.

Edit: Clarification.

[stray]

eXistenZ are better than The Matrix (the trilogy as a whole).

Discuss.

Edit: Clarification.

Thank you. I get in arguments with a couple friends about this a lot. They can't seem to forgive for recommending eXistenZ to them.

Jennifer Jason Leigh is a goddess. Best female actress around. And the fishbone gun owns. EDIT: Or was that frog bones? I forget. Time to watch it again.

EDIT: Yeah, Equilibrium is better too. But a certain guild in Shadowbane made me sick of ever watching the movie again.

I don't remember much from Event Horizon...but, a lot of stuff is better than Star Wars, actually.

[Abagadro]

Event Horizon is dreadful. There is a lot of sci-fi out there that is better than Star Wars, but a B horror movie with sci-fi trappings sure as hell isn't it.

[AOFanboi]

Equilibrium and eXistenZ are better than The Matrix (the trilogy as a whole).

Never saw Equilibrium, but agree on eXistenZ. The first Matrix was excellent as a pure linear action movie slash live action anime wannabe, but people interpreted too much "philosophy" into it. So, a great visual and "audial" spectacle (like Terminator 2 and xXx), but not a great film as such.

The two sequels (plus the horrid EtM game) basically did their utmost to ruin any positive feelings you had about that first movie. Animatrix has some value, but few-ish people seemed to buy that.

Meanwhile, eXistenZ was a wonderful Cronenberg movie (with the mandatory biomass stuff) with multiple levels of reality and plot. Just what the doctor ordered.

Now, if just JMS could make a Babylon 5 movie series to go with the TV series, we could have an excuse to forget Lucas' toy catalogue with worse plot than Timecop. (Though B5 does have its problems too.)

[MrHat]

I too am in the Star Wars is eh bandcamp.

I would imagine it's great if you are a kid.  But I personally think that whatever it set out to do has been done better SINCE then.

PS.  I'll see your Sam Neill in Event Horizon, and raise you a Sam Neill In the Mouth of Madness.  Haven't seen that movie in ages, but loved it to death.

That was a decent movie. I should watch it again sometime.

Carpenter's best.

Eh...I've got a thing for Adrienne Barbeau's titties myself. Carpenter will never surpass his older flicks.

EDIT: I'm getting the weirdest feeling that SirBruce is dying to reply to that.

They're remaking "The Fog". It's too bad. At least Cedric the Entertainer isn't in it.

[stray]

At least the "old" Addrienne isn't in it either. Man, she's changed. Whatever you do, don't post a pic.

This is better:

[ahoythematey]

As far as "virtual world" flicks go, I thought The Thirteenth Floor was better than both eXistenZ and The Matrix.  All my friends think I'm crazy.

REVENGE OF THE SITH is a masterpiece. The final piece of the puzzle Lucas first presented me at age 6. 27 years later, the Jigsaw is complete and damn if it isn't just damn near the most tragically cool thing I’ve ever seen put to film. We won’t see another like this. This is it.

Spolier level is unusually low for an AICN review. (though still insanely high by anyone else's standards)

[stray]

Harry is a dipshit and gets hyperbolic over....Just about anything.

Yet, there's too much good word of mouth going around to completely discount everyone. Even him.

If you look back Harry and a lot of of the others loved Attack of the Clones when it first came out (search for the reviews if you can get their crap search feature to work right), and then seemed to change their minds later to go with public opinion.  Don't get me wrong, it's a good place to go for movie news, and they've done a lot to hype up movies like Sean of the Dead and Night Watch that people might now have heard of otherwise.  I just wouldn't put an ounce of faith in their reviews.

Not an issue anymore, since they publish official spoilers for money now.

Now? Man, they've been doing that since the current generation of systems hit the market. What kills me is that some people actually play that shit.

[eldaec]

Other places I've seen reviews they've said...

 - Great action.
 - Better than tPM & AotC.
 - Let down a fair bit by shitty script, espeicially whenever Padme is in the room.

Which admittedly is information you could have got from this thread about 9 pages and 2 months back.

I'm not at all excited about it or anything, but I have a feeling that Hayden Christiansen will be good.

He showed me that he can really act in Shattered Glass (really well, I might add), so I'll just chalk up his performance in AotC to youth. This time around, I don't think it'll be his fault (that is, if the movie turns out to be bad).

He was a whiny bitch in Shattered Glass. The only person who held up that movie was Sarsgaard. Goddamn Hayden sucks such massive ass. I can't even properly talk about him without getting something fucking angry. Grrrrrrr.

Harry cried at the screening for Armageddon.

I rest my case.
