Slashdot Mirror
Attack of the Clones Leaked
dgris writes "ain't it cool is running a purported review of Epidsode II. Harry Knowles is claiming to have gotten a secret screening of the film while at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, TX. Short story: he loves it." Like the department sez: I'll believe it when I see it. After Phantom, I'm willing to wait a bit to see it.
And the publicity from this review is accidental too.

He didn't see the real movie. It was probably just a stupid clone, only one among tens of thousands :)
Anybody there would have seen this. Some guy had a second-generation VHS smuggled out of Lucasfilm and he was showing it in a tent. Anyway, it really isn't a bad movie even if it is just more of Phantom-style slapstick... as typical for this franchise, a lot of new characters and creatures. The main one is a large green ogre-like thing that lives in a swamp and really values his privacy, and then the Emporer forces a bunch of others into his area so he's sort of forced into the battle... another princess, just like episode 4... impressive effects with a flying monster that breathes fire... Jar-Jar is unfortunately back, looks a little different in this one. Not enough space war and too much singing IMHO but your mileage may vary.
This is not the review you are looking for. You can go about your business. Move along.
This isn't the movie I'm looking for. I can go about my business. I'll move along now...
i wonder if the "reviewer" woke up in a bath tub filled with ice, and missing both his kidneys... >:)

sigfault. comment dumped.
He probably saw it. I won't argue that.
But his opinion is crap ever since he claimed that he "cried at the end of Armagedeon". What a sell out. They were his site's biggest sponsor at the time.
I shit you not.
It seems like something, once upon a time, someone would have said about Sony.
--Jimmy has fancy plans; and pants to match.
And your evidence that this happens "more than most would expect" is that you "read an article somewhere"?
Way to stamp out those charlatans, chief.

I mod down every jackass who puts his moderation policy in his sig. Oh, wait a sec....
Given that this is Slashdot, it probably will say "forcably."
Judging by the quaility of the site, and what I know about SXSW, I'm not buying it. I'm not sure I understand how anyone at SXSW would have acquired a copy, and I'm further uncertain why this guy was so cool he got to see it. If you look at the comments after the review, I understand why he threw this together. The people who read his site often are all applauding him. So he's riding on a cloud right now because he is "so cool." Ain't that cool.
And if by the 1,000,000th of a percent of a chance that I'm wrong, oh well. The guy still needs to learn to use a smaller font.
Of course Palpatine is evil, doesn't anyone remember Return of the Jedi anymore? (whas it *that* bad?) Who's that dude zapping Luke with the magic bolts of lightening at the end of the film? Could it be.. "Emperor Palpatine"!?
Oh...a worse name than Death Sticks? How about ATTACK OF THE CLONES?
In Soviet Russia, hot grits put YOU down THEIR pants.
This guys says he's seen a rough cut of episode 2.
Big deal.
I've seen final cuts of episode 4, 5 and 6!
And guess what? (SPOILER ALERT:) Vador is Luke's father!!
The details of the fight scenes between Yoda and the Count
What, are Henson and co. running out of muppets or something?
One! Two! Three!!! Three Jedi Hah hah hah hah!
Obi-wan: No, thank you. The force is my anti-drug.
Dealer: It's not a drug man. It's a performance enhancer. And a Gungan repellant?
Obi-wan: A what? I'll take two cases.
