You know, I've heard about this trailer, and I've been tempted to watch it, but I won't. I've watched too many TV spots already, and I don't want to spoil the experience of seeing it on the big screen.
Needless to say, I am EXTREMELY anxious to see Yoda lay the smack down in AotC (and have it not look ridiculous). I'm glad it's getting such positive reactions.
the yoda action figure is currently one of the hardest to get. i was lucky enough to be there when they were opening the boxes at toys r us. the figure looks great, with yoda holding a lightsaber and using the force to pick up a big rock.
i am pumped to see this movie, and i can't wait to take my 3 1/2 year old boy who loves everything starwars these days.
yep. That's all me. Now you make sure you attribute that little gem properly. Remind me to tell you my pithy observation about the Dark Side and muffin baskets one of these days.
So I'm sitting here, aimlessly surfing message boards, killing time until Angel starts, whistling "Home on the Range" because of a filk-song I read in another thread, stroking my cats who've jumped into my lap, and I read
Quote:
It's amazing what you can do when Frank Oz gets his
hand out from up your a**.
and I burst out giggling, completely interrupting the song's rousing climax and scaring the hell out of my cats.
Thanks, KC!

I know when he removed his hand from MINE, I found I had heat vision. I could melt steel and vaporize liquids from 300 feet away for roughly an hour and a half.
Of course, around that time I realized with some horror what had been going on an hour and a half ago.
Originally posted by mmadsen So have most Star Wars fans been enjoying the ads on TV so far, because I have not been impressed at all so far. The acting seems terribly wooden.
The acting was no great shakes in the original trilogy, either - witness Hamill's angsty melodrama in ESB.
The only comment I have on the TV ads is since when could r2 fly. What kind of contrived crap are they going to come up with for why he and other astromech droids couldn't fly in 4-6. Just because you can do it with special effects doesn't mean you should.

Lucas sucks! Boycott the first week!
Actually, after ep I, I have no plans to see Ep II. The trailers won't change my mind since I thought the trailers for Ep I were really good as well. Sadly, the movie didn't live up to the trailers.
Now if it turns out Ep II is actually class then I'll go see it. I just won't see it the first day like I did Ep I without knowing what I'm getting into.

I dont know if its still available somewhere, but David Brin wrote an article for Salon when TPM came out. He spends some time ripping on the movie from the perspective of a professional writer, but the real core of the article is his take on Yoda and the dark secret that makes him tick. Check it out if you can find it; its doubly interesting in light of the new, more active Yoda showcased in the new trailers.

Yeah...continuity seems to go out the window in many places....

mmadsen: Sir Bob is right. The acting has always been bad in Star Wars movies. So have the scripts. Like this Han Solo gem from RotJ: "Threepio, you tell that slimy piece of worm-ridden filth he'll get no such pleasure from us!" Ugh. But so much fun!
Shard O'Glase: Looked to me like he had some kind of jetpack thing hooked up to him, and was tooling along. Every new thing they come up with is a "contrivance" of some kind...or maybe they could keep doing the same old things. Hrrmm.
Black Omega: Yes, do that! I want the theater to be less crowded on opening night! Plus, I don't want to hear anyone in the line talking about how the movie "will probably suck."
**I just got my tickets for May 16th, 7:30pm. YES! Since I am expecting more Star Wars, I don't feel that I will be disappointed in the least!**
