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.

      The others don't need cameos -- 'NSync can play them.

    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.

    I heard Peter Jackson is giving Al Gore a cameo in the Two Towers. He plays one of the Ents.

    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"). It was better than my brother's light saber, which was a broom handle.

    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.

  8. Add to the confusion... by TedCheshireAcad · · Score: 5, Funny

    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".

    Having NSYNC in there just shows the commercial side of lucas that has overtaken his artistic soul. What is it going to be?

  13. Whats next? N'Binks? by Bowie+J.+Poag · · Score: 5, Funny



    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,
