Attack of the Clones
ramakant writes: "It looks like George Lucas has really sold out this time. If you thought Jar-Jar Binks was bad, MTV.com is running a story that a few members of 'NSYNC will be making cameos in Episode II. I think the target demographic for these films has changed a little since the original trilogy. Oh well, at least LOTR rocked." The MTV article says that NSYNC asked for the part; an article in a UK tabloid says Lucas asked them.

The movie is titled 'Attack of the Clones.' The film would not be complete without 'NSync. I'm just disappointed that Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, and 98 Degrees will not have cameos.

Put all the talentless boy bands (redundant, I know) in the movie. As long as:
a) They don't talk, or "sing."
b) They get killed off post-haste.
Given these two rules, it would be quite enjoyable.
SIGFEH
how much worse does it have to get before I'm sorry I ever saw the first movies.
Hmm. Are you sure it wasn't NSYNC who sold out?
Hey, why are we bitching? We'll get to see 'NSane die!
Because it's only special effects?
The only upside to anything positive happening to N'Sync is that the Backstreet Boys have to be really pissed off that N'Sync is getting props instead of them.

I heard Peter Jackson is giving Al Gore a cameo in the Two Towers. He plays one of the Ents.
It also did more damage in the form of shards of glass lacerating his nose. He got me back by spraying oven cleaner in my eyes. I'm still amazed we got through childhood without permanently maiming one another.

I hope its like the N'Sync Simpsons cameo:

Hey, does this mean that along with the 35 year old virgins living in their parents' basement, there will be screaming teenage girls camped out in front of the movie theater on opening night?
This would cause a mass confusion in the crowd as Star Wars geeks meet these strange creatures called "girls". I just wonder what happens if one of the geeks asks a teenie bopper if she wants to see his "light saber".

Now, that gives a whole new meaning to the title of the movie!

"The boys got involved because producer GEORGE LUCAS's 13-year-old daughter Katie is a fan of the band and badgered her dad to give them a role."
Man, I wish MY dad would let me name movies and pick the cast!

All five members of the group appear in a battle scene in Episode II: Attack Of The Clones.
But unfortunately for fans they are all bumped off within seconds by savage androids.
Well, I'd pay just to see that part! Sell out? More like savior! He knows what WE want to see!
Don't trust a bull's horn, a doberman's tooth, a runaway horse or me.
Lucas didn't sell out... NSYNC did.
It used to be about the music, man!
I object to that article, and to the next reply.
Well what do you know they actually do look cute with the Jedi customs...

This is so profoundly retarded that I'm having trouble, for one in my life, expressing my true feelings.
So, I called up the NIST and asked them to create a unit of measurement that accurately describes the ratio between retarded things and lame things. I proposed that 1.0 would be the standard ratio for something that would be equally retarded and lame, and suggested Episode II, George Lucas, and N'Sync might be good benchmarks from which to gauge this new standard. They agreed, with one stipulation. They wanted to put "mebi" on it somewhere, because there was a sale on "mebi"s this week..They overestimated public demand for them and had a whole bunch lying around they needed to get rid of.
Without further adue, Star Wars's ratio of lameness to retardedness will be measured in Mebijarjars, and more specifically, Episode II will be exactly 1.0 Mebijarjars if N'Sync happens to be in it. Ten bucks says Episode III will feature nothing but chimpanzee actors wearing garbage can lids on their heads beepy-boopy sounds dubbed over a laugh track supplied by the surviving members of Menudo.
Cheers, its meant to make you laugh,

"I *made* a light saber when I was 9 (well, OK, it wasn't a light saber, it was a fluourescent light tube, and I didn't make it so much as "got it from the garage")."
Bah! I made a REAL light saber!
Of course I was a hopeless clod with it.
But my life is now much more sedate since I chopped off an arm and both legs with it.
At least I didn't bleed out. Instant light saber cauterization's good stuff!
And if only I'd remembered to turn if off before I put it away.
Ah well. Who wants to have the ability to sire kids anyhow?

THANK GOD!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Look for stupid hair-styles. All boy bands are required by law to have at least one member with stupid-looking hair; you just have to associate hair-style with band name.
