Critic Cites Revenge of the Sith As "Generation's Greatest Work of Art
eldavojohn writes "Art critic and University Professor of Humanities and Media Studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia Camille Paglia has written a book that not only claims George Lucas is the 'World's Greatest Living Artist' but also that 'Revenge of the Sith' is our generation's greatest work of art. That's right: Titian, Bernini, Monet, Picasso, Jackson Pollock and ... George Lucas. If you thought you understood art but you hated Episode III, it might be difficult to understand how her book 'Glittering Images: A Journey Through Art from Egypt to Star Wars' ends with 'Revenge of the Sith.' There is a possibility that the art world remembers this generation by examining that movie."
That or she's into some nasty nose candy.

I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of killer sig, which this margin is too narrow to contain.
Jar jar is just misunderstood; he isn't a redundant and annoying racial stereotype. He's really a heart-wrenching commentary on contemporary sociatal angst, portrayed through counter-cultural metaphorical symbolism.

From History of the World, Part I:
"Even in most primitive man, the need to create was part of his nature. This need, this talent clearly separated early man from animals, who would never know this gift. And here, in a cave about 2 million years ago, the first artist was born. [a drawing of a buffalo is shown, and a proud artist] And, of course, with the birth of the artist, came the inevitable afterbirth... the critic. [the critic urinates on the drawing]"

What story? There were just a bunch of walking cardboard cutouts and CG clones.

I agree completely. The red-brownish turd was by far the best of all three turds.

Surely they can't be talking about our gen-gen-generation?
I read TFA and all I got was this lousy cookie

Messa agree. Messa represent moi moi post-modernist angst.
What political party do you join when you don't like Bible-thumpers *or* hippies?
Charlize Theron's salary was too big.
They had to find the cheapest substitute they could. Luckily the LA county morgue was open, and she was the one with the fewest track marks.
I never understood why Naboo chose a clearly retarded representative. Oh, wait. I guess Star Wars is more realistic than I realized.
Because it was safer for the rest of Naboo to have him off the planet.
George Lucas isn't "my generation" - he's my dad's generation. Might actually explain the awkward sense of humour..
