Episode 3

[Furiously]

Wonder if the cereal contains a lot of miticlorians? Maybe they are sugar? Maybe the real good Jedi are just diabetic.

[Paelos]

BASIC, MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?

[WindupAtheist]

Star Wars has merchandise?!  Oh noes!

What are you noobs gonna do when this movie owns?  Haemish will rejoice and rejoin the faithful, but Schild will probably kill himself in shame.  Only a week left.  Muahahahahaha.

[Ironwood]

Fuck Sake.  Let's go over it again :

1 - Cool Lightsabre fights.
2 - Nice Space Combat.
3 - Nothing else of substance whatsoever, devoid of good acting or plot or dialogue or any kind of fucking point.

And then you'll come back and say 'SEE TOLD YOU IT OWNED OMG !!!' and there'll be two camps, those who liked it and those who didn't.

And no-one will give a flying fuck at a rolling donut 120 years later when the worms have taken us all.

So, er, to sum up :  Shut it.

Heh.

When did you devolve into a drooling moron? I mean, at least with the UO stuff your posts didn't replicate some grammar structure of engrish.

Oh, and Star Wars - no, it's going to suck donkey dick. Cuz that's what Star Wars does. Sucks donkey dick.

Or, it could, you know blow goats like Ep 2. And I predict that no matter how good or bad it will get, it still won't be a better film or movie than Empire. It might well be prettier, though some of the over-CGI'ed scenes from Ep2 like the Windu/Yoda/Kenobi walk through the Jedi Academy would lead me to believe otherwise. Will I see it at the theater? Sure.

Will I camp in line for it? Fuck no.

[Paelos]

I'm taking my friend I've seen all the prequals with so we can be on the same page. He's more fanboish than me, but I'm a big Empire fan. So, this should in my ballpark.

[Mortriden]

I will be in Florida, and this will be the only opening day showing of Star Wars I will have missed. 

Flame away.   

[WayAbvPar]

Even Episode IV? I think that is the only one I missed- didn't see it for like 6 months. Of course, this was back in the days that movie theatres only had 1 screen, and exclusive rights per city (or so it seemed). Plus, I was like 7.

[Shockeye]

Remember to see the digital projection version if you can since that has extra footage the film wankers don't get.

[HaemishM]

Goddamnit. Lucas is such a cock.

[El Gallo]

I saw EP2 on digital and it looked better (despite the fact that the only theater in the DC area that had a digital projector was some run-down mutltplex out in the God-forsaken Virginia suburbs complete with shitty, mostly-ripped-up seats and a screen the size of a Gameboy's).  Could have been placebo, but I thought it looked a lot crisper than when I saw it at a (nice, comfy, huge-screened but film-only) theater in the city.  Sadly, it didn't help the dialogue any. 

[Paelos]

I don’t like sand. It’s coarse 
and rough and irritating, and it 
gets everywhere. Not like here. 
Here everything’s soft... and 
smooth... 

[El Gallo]

die in a sand fire.

[MaceVanHoffen]

Will I camp in line for it? Fuck no.

I might not even see it on the big screen.  I'm that disenchanted.  I have no desire to sit through another 2-hour toy/video game commercial.  I swear to god, even the thought of a movie where Jar Jar "meesa racial stereotype" Binks could possibly appear is enough to make me stabby.

I think I'll watch the Matrix trilogy on Episode 3's opening day to remind myself of what a decent trilogy is.  I will possibly burn my Episode 1 and 2 DVD's in a fire while stabbing a Lucas-shaped voodoo doll with long, vaguely lightsaber-shaped needles.

You know you are going to.  Probably twice.  Saying that you won't will just make you feel worse about yourself when its over.

But, but, will it respect me in the morning?!

You are softer than sand... milady.

Sarcasm tags.  Teh intarweb really needs sarcasm tags.

Call it a day and watch the Godfather trilogy, at least then you would have had a good time.

I really do like The Matrix, though.  All 3 movies.  Causaility vs. choice in a cyberpunk world .... mmmmm, wonderful.

I like The Godfather too.  I may very well be a moviewhore.

EDIT: Oh, and, more on topic ... either of those trilogies beats Episodes 1-3 hands down.  And I haven't even seen Episode 3 yet.

Ugh. The first one was a fantastic movie. The 2nd was so dreadful that I still haven't seen the 3rd. Not sure there is any claim to a decent trilogy there.

If you even mildly disliked the second you'll hate the the third with a passion of a thousand suns.  I watched it on HBO just so I could make an informed opinion on it (funny enough, they only played it for a week).  I kinda wish I had just left myself in the dark. 

[Margalis]

The Matrix Trilogy can only be considered even passable if you are taking the average of the 3 movies. 1 good movie and two bad ones isn't a great trilogy. The second one could have been ok if it provided the setup for an awesome conclusion, but then the conclusion sucked. The animatrix was pretty lousy too. It's really too bad, because the first movie was genuinely good.

Edit: My friend (or should I say "friend") made me watch the third one. Look, a big goofy robot is shooting at a metal squid - for half an hour! Joy!

Please to give me some of what you are smoking. The first movie was decent, the remaining two had all of 2 good scenes combined, surrounded by a lot of dimestore pseudo-philosophy, bad CGI and BULLIT TIM3 Y0!11!!! Oh yes, and incoherent, misplaced techno-rave orgy scene.

Seriously, I've seen money shots that had more worthwhile seconds of footage than the last two Matrix movies.

Google the Maximum Pill.  :-D

[WayAbvPar]

Or Peter North. He is a machine.

What can I say?  I just dug those movies.  I had read several of the philosophy books that the Wachowski brothers based the movies on (particularly the second movie).  The deus ex machina ending on the third movie was awesome.

I think I'm about to get voted off the island ...

[Evil Elvis]

Smith meeting the Oracle, and... the motorcycle chase?

C'mon man, what about the matrix-y cooch shot slash exploding orgasm scene?  GENIUS!

(spelling is hard)

You are free to remain on the island. You just don't get to pick the DVD on Tribe Movie Night. EVER.  :-D

[MaceVanHoffen]

Pfft.  On DVD movie nights I'll pick proper art to view.  Lawrence of Arabia, Ikiru, Donnie Darko, that sort of stuff.  I may like the Matrix flicks, but they are pop culture and even I can see those former movies are far better.

Bah. If it isn't Bill & Ted's then it isn't worth watching.

[WindupAtheist]

And now, young art-film ponce, you... will... die...

*raises hands and electrocutes Schild with bolts of pure fanboy energy*

As for games:  I'm still having tons of fun in UO, and I hear Matrix Online is at least doing some novel things in terms of live events, but besides that the entire MMOG genre is still the festering heap of level-grinding shit it's been since the day EQ came out.
