Episode II Gets Rave Review
Astin writes: "Dark Horizons has obtained a copy of what it believes is the script for Attack of the Clones, and has posted a review. Apparently they got this one right, with epic battles, lots of action, and that sense of adventure that was missing from Episode I. Canoe.ca is also carrying a synopsis from the site."
I think the Star Wars topic should be removed from the site - it's obviously sold-out shit: has been from Episode 1, and will be thought to III - let it go man. Which begs the question, why is SW is here, and how come no Star Trek or even LoTR topics, which aren't as blatantly aimed at teenieboppers?
...well, sucked. There was a trailer for it in the Fellowship of the Ring, and it looked lousy. It looked like a teenage love story. That was all the preview showed was Anakin and Amidala acting like teenagers in love. I wanted to scream.
It's gonna have n'Sync in it...
eeeeeuuuuuwwwww......

Psst. If he wasn't exactly silent about how bad Episode I was, then what makes you think he hasn't been chastisized by Lucas & co., and is just making it up to them by praising this film?
So this is what passes for news on Slashdot eh. Having been a reader for 3 years, I can honestly say this is the worst posting I've ever seen. Salacious yellow news is not why I came to Slashdot years ago, I came because there were many Open Source programmers posting here, giving out insight and information about tech issues of the day, completely free I might add. Now, Slashdot has become a marketing project for certain companies and links to less than probing stories, if not utter crap like this story. The kind Editors refer to as filler. I noticed even Jon Katz has lost his fire.
Slashdot is really going downhill.
