Ebert Gives 'Sith' Positive Review

Posted by timothy on from the third-time's-the-charm dept.

emerald demon writes "The world's authority on reviewing movies, Roger Ebert, has released his review of "Star Wars--Episode III: Revenge of the Sith." I noticed that Ebert & Roeper gave it a two thumbs up, but I assumed that Ebert was going to go for the minimum for giving his thumb up--two and a half stars. I was delighted to read his three and a half starred review. It seemed like he let a few things slip, but it's obvious that he enjoyed it. '"Episode III" has more action per square minute, I'd guess, than any of the previous five movies, and it is spectacular.' Bad dialogue as usual: 'To say that George Lucas cannot write a love scene is an understatement; greeting cards have expressed more passion.'"

    If I had a dime for every misuse of there/their/they're (or your/you're or its/it's) on Slashdot alone, I'd retire a wealthy man.

      If I just got a dime for every misuse of to/too on Slashdot I'd be rich. The best part about the parents post was he was commenting on reading books...being literate, etc. Ah, the irony.

    As far as the "there/their" thing. Every time I see these kind of rouge errors I get so frustrated that almost loose it.

    I started to write about the errors in this sentence, but then I realized that there are so many that it must be a joke. It's not a funny joke, but it has to be one.

    Funny thing is, my writing's not as bad as my /. posts. I can go 10k words in an 8 hour period with only a few mistypes. (And have, many times!)

    There's just something about /. that makes me turn cache typchecking off. And I make all kinds of slips.

    The there /the're one was just me missing the ' key though. I found seveal " ' "'s missing from the 4k or so I wrote last night, and sure enough, there's a bunch of crud under that key.

    I should probably get another keyboard for that laptop. It's seen me through about 1.5 million words, + webpage code + a bunch of note taking in lyx in classes for 2 years.

    Oh... and re: the parent post. That was me; I meant to check the karma-bonus (off) box, not the AC box.
