    To tell you the truth, I watched Star Wars Ep. 1 this week, and I didn’t find Jar Jar as annoying…as the other gungans. Boss Nass is terrible.

    Where is Aug. 21 webcast? Some of us have to work ya know and can’t watch the 5:00 pm PDT live webcast, so we wait and wait and wait each evening until the webcast is posted. Have some pity on us-there’s absolutely nothing on TV except Olympics reruns.

    The original Star Wars films were aimed at kids too. The difference is they were good films.

    Final Fantasy: Advent Children is a good video game movie.

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly should never be remade. Most of the movie going public haven’t seen it? Fuck them! Kick them in the balls. Don’t remake the film because some people are too retarded to watch a great movie. The story in GBU is decent not great. It is not what makes the film great and it is not worth retelling. The reason why GBU is great is because of Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone and no one on this planet could tell that story better than they did.

    Changing a character’s main traits (gender, race) always impacts their character. It is these things that inform who were are. There’s no point casting a black man as Face and saying “This is Face”. No, he’s not Face. If you want to cast a black actor then create a new character. Anyway I’m not happy with this urban direction The A-Team seems to be headed in. I doubt it will capture the charm of the TV show.
