I can agree that some of the lines were definitly cheesball...You pointed out many that I noticed too :c) How about when Padme falls out of the airship and lands on the sand hella hard. The clone comes over as she's lying there in "agony" and then gets up right away when the dood asks if she's alright. I thought that was kind of wack, as well as the lame c3po bit you explained. I just didn't let those little things get to me, because the rest of the movie rawked. ;c) Speaking of the Matrix, one of the previews @ amc 1000 when I went to see EP II, was the sequel "Matrix Reloaded set for the summer of 2003. And they are filming 2 and 3 back to back. ;c) -=Psykoral=- Raven Productions http://www.technorealm.net http://www.ravenproductions.org ----- Original Message ----- From: "developers, developers, developers, developers !" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 10:41 PM Subject: [D] Re: nrr: wtf, now star wars 2 is considered racist ?! > and i made him watch it two of those times. :D > > i'm a star wars fan. hell, the first star wars was the first movie i had > ever seen, and i have vague childhood memories of obi wan dying in the > movie theater (i just dated myself ;P). :D > > but, dammit, i was pretty darn disappointed by this episode. the actors > were incredibly wooden, and the dialogue ? i'll let that speak for itself: > "Sand is rough and it gets everywhere.
