Star Wars
If you were like, I don't know, millions and millions of other people, you probably went to see "Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith — Now With More Toy Tie-ins Ever; I Am A Manipulative Genuis!" by special effects junkie George Lucas.
My co-workers at The Californian did a hilarious, nifty little film about the premiere, which you can watch here.
I saw the movie, but I'm not really the best judge of "Star Wars." While I love the sci-fi genre, I am hopelessly a Trekkie. I know. I know. Trekkies are weird and lame. Well, so are you "Star Wars" people. So are you. Your "Force" isn't necessarily better than my "Federation." Just different. Like DC and Marvel.
That said, I did not fall asleep during the first forty minutes of "Sith" even though I wished for the pleasure of deep slumber greatly. Fortunately, Ani went to the "Dark Side" and everything got campy and delicious and really, really homoerotic for no real reason other than maybe, just maybe George Lucas has developed a wicked sense of humor. Which I greatly doubt since I think all of this was done quite seriously.

I've decided that it was "Star Wars" as gay camp. That's the only way I can justify spending money on it. Because as gay camp it works. As a sci-fi movie it does not.
And I'm convinced that George Lucas has no understanding whatsoever of human nature. Don't even get me on how the whole reason for Ani going to the darkside didn't make a lick-o-sense. Or how the whole set up of "Sith" makes Guiness in the later film seem like he lied to Luke about pretty much everything about his father. Post-SW Obi Wan made Ani sound like some hero that was loved and well-respected until he took that plunge off the deep end. Pre-SW Obi Wan is running around with some snot-nose punk kid who grows up to be a whiny-ass punk kid, who as far as I'm concerned, came off as evil from the get-go. I've seen Nazis portrayed with more dimension.

It's very trouble-free to find out any topic on net as compared to books, as I found this paragraph at this web page.
