Attack of the Really Big Clones
An anonymous reader writes "CNN reports that Attack of the Clones is coming to an IMAX theatre near you. 50 IMAX commercial venues, and 20-30 science museum sites will begin showing the film on November 1. The IMAX version is expected to add another $20M to the films current $300M take."
The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred a year ago tomorrow, followed by a Holy War against Islam, and now Israel and the Palestinians as well as India and Pakistan are teetering on the brink of their own war, Argentina is in the midst of a financial crisis, America is considering launching attacks against Somalia and Iraq, and you people have the gall to be discussing Attack of the Clones???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!
The bodies of the thousands of innocent civilians who died (and will die) in these unprecedented events could give a good god damn about Attack of the Clones, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddies is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!
You people disgust me!
Now that Star Wars is nothing more than a marketing tool for crappy fast food meals and stupid action figures, it doesn't surprise me that they are going to go "IMAX" to boost the take of AotC so "My Fat Greek Wedding" (A far better movie) won't beat it at the box office this year. Yes, "My Fat Greek Wedding" is better than Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Who really gives a damn?
Forget all these fancy schmancy special effect orgies. I want some real orgies on my IMAX.. Can you imagine watching BUTT BANG PRINCESS IX in that huge oval screen? They should make it 3D as well, for extra sensory stimulation.
i think this might be bad for linux :(
your ass - they will meet soon.
You all glorify iMax, but you don't think of the atrocities iMax workers have faced at the hands of upper management in the past. The work sucks website has ranked it at number 3 on it's list of cruel employers, and for good reason, too.
