Star Wars: AOTC Reviews Pour In

Posted by chrisd on from the when-packard-bells-attack dept.

Dork King writes "The New York Time's Review of AOTC (free reg, yada yada) notes that Attack of the Clones doesn't look good for fans. Thankfully, I'm not a fan." Also, dw5000 writes "The BBC has a favorable review of Attack of the Clones on its news website, as well as an executive summary of what the UK papers are saying about AotC. The populist tabloids love it, while the broadsheets are giving cautious approval. Hmm. Maybe I won't wait for DVD ..." I also noticed Variety has a review up as well. Also, for those who have lost all hope for Star Wars, I submit to you the date of the Spider-Man sequel: May 7th, 2004. You should know that spoilers exist in one or more of these stories. Beware!

  2. Doctor Octopus in Spidey II? by Ars-Fartsica · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    I'd love to see Doc Oc, who I consider Spidey's best golden-age nemesis, in the second film.

    Hopefully they'll keep the playful and good-hearted nature of the golden-age storytelling in the Spider Man series and not devolve into the infantile anti-heroism and broodiness of the Venom years.

    Thats because you live in the middle of fucking nowhere.

    "Wichita" as you pointed out in your other post.

    You can probably buy land there at 10 cents an acre or something. Where I live in Manhattan, land is a bit more expensive and so movies are $10 a pop. But then I've also got the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the Whitney and half a dozen movie theaters within 6 blocks, where you're lucky if you have a Gas-n-Go less than a couple miles.

    Quality of life. Enjoy your $4 movies.

    not necessarily Britney, but just about any teenager (or those who can't let go of those years) in the US.... although Britney and her PR machine will probably thank you for equating the two...

    The court ruled it legal to fuck the voters by running out the clock, and demonstrated how to do it.


    The court's job is to interpret laws not go create them. If the law says that the polls close at 8pm, the county officials have the right to lock the doors at that time. If you do no like the law, I suggest you work at a grass roots level to get the law changed. Find more people tho agree with you and lobby your state gov't.
