A Guide to Sith Lord Naming Conventions
May. 24th, 2005 12:34 pmSo, got around to seeing it last night. If it hadn't been for the fact that I thoroughly spoiled myself beforehand, I might not have bothered to see it, because Phantom Menace had a good fight scene, ok, and Qui Gonn was hot, but that was about it, and then I saw Clones in the dollar theater and was so exasperated that I figured that Lucas could finish his little trainwreck prequel project without my support or my ticket price, which I'm sure made him weep and console himself by doing the backstroke in a huge vault filled with hundred dollar bills, all Scrooge McDuck and shit. But people I trusted indicated that while it wasn't the greatest movie ever made, it was at least entertaining, so the Bemo and I headed out last night and saw it.
( Use the spork, Obi Wan. )
There have been a lot of good discussions on the movie: here are some of the ones I've enjoyed.
Sars from Tomato Nation does a very good job tackling both the "growing up with these movies" and the "why do these movies not work as well as the original trilogy?" questions in Empire State. Includes a link to her review of Clones, which is also a great read.
Amberleewriter discusses how editing may have played a big part with some of the more WTF moments.
Penknife, Ladyjestyr, and Cupiscent weigh in thoughtfully and amusingly, plus there are some great comments following.
What all this hoopla has left me with is a yen for Obi/Padme fic. If anybody can point some out to me so I don't have to venture over to fanfiction.net, I'd appreciate it, because that place is damn scary.
