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."

So, maybe sucky title != sucky movie?

I'd be surprised a movie with such a horribly bad title actually turns out to be a decent production. It kinda tarnishes the whole thing from the beginning.

I bet the 'queuers' are happy right now.

"Hey bill, according to this, the film we're queuing for doesn't suck!"

George Lucas...pedophile?

Aces! Another "family values" organization strikes out against the evils of American films- especially successful ones. Will AOTC continue the alleged tradition of man/boy love?

A study out today by the American Center for Media Research raises allegations that blockbuster filmmaker George Lucas has embedded pedophilic themes in his work. Center director and study author Dr. Phillip Mipokitz says that the viewing public should watch these films knowing in advance that subliminal themes of man-boy love will be played out.

Dr. Mipokitz wanted to stress that neither he nor his organization condemn Mr. Lucas for his alleged beliefs or alleged feelings. They would just like him to be more open about it, something akin to truth in advertising.

The study, originally intended to survey a wide variety of films from the last three decades, eventually focuses solely on the work of George Lucas, specifically his Star Wars series.

Mipokitz recently unveiled a warning label that he feels should accompany each Star Wars film. "WARNING: This film contains underlying themes of underage homosexual sex- not that we're judging or anything. We just wanted you to know." Dr. Mipokitz says that he believes the warning label arms parents with information without causing a scare, a good compromise.

The original 1977 Star Wars film established many of the homoerotic traditions Lucas would take with him for decades. A pair of walking vibrators seek out a young boy with no chest hair. Two old men fight over the young boy with swords that suddenly grow then glow. The boy joins the rebellion and flies an uncircumcised spacecraft for them.

The trench battle at the end of Star Wars: A new Hope was of particular concern. "Everything happens back to front," said Dr. Mipokitz. "Did you ever notice that? No two ships shoot at each other face to face. They are always so intent on shoving a laser blast up someone else's backside."

"And then there's the point where Darth Vader has Luke in his sights. 'The boy is mine,' he says. Lucas could have written any number of clever catch phrases for that moment. But 'the boy is mine' is what he chose. How gay is that? I mean, I'm not trying to paint the man as a pervert or anything."

At the end of the trench sequence, Mipokitz notes that Luke makes a rather telling gesture as he "shoots his wad" into the Death Star's tiny orifice. "He lets out a long-held breath- very masturbatory," says Mipokitz.

India? You say that good films are made in India? Well, maybe you've seen the unpopular, off beat, only seen by a million indians movies, but every movie that I've seen from India was like ten disney movies in one. All musicals, all love stories / action with the same girl singing all the songs ( over all the movies ).

I'll agree that many good movies are NOT made in the USA, but not India, AFAIK they are 10x worse then hollywood.
