Actually I found the opposite to be true: yes the movie was epic, but I kept finding myself wanting it to be over. For example, in the first real lightsaber fight between Dooku and Anakin, I was honestly bored. I kept thinking to myself, "just cut his head off, already." This isn't the sign of a good movie. The tedium continued throughout the film and it certainly wasn't helped by Hayden Christenson's horrible horrible acting.
That said, there were several parts of the movie that weren't cringeworthy. Ewan McGregor was fantastic as Obi Wan (though it was odd seeing him play such a clean cut character as I had watched him in Trainspotting the night before.)
I could go on and on about the horrible and redeeming qualities of the movie, but from what I've garnered so far is that everyone has their own nits to pick.
alas, comcast is the largest provider of broadband in the us, so they don't need to appeal to niche market sectors like geeks. i mean seriously, if my grandmother were watching the price is right and a comcast commercial came on, she'd be more interested in the "free webcam and video messaging" slogan than a "we allow automatic torrent seeding from our ftp servers so you can share the hottest new linux distros!"
now if this were speakeasy that we were talking about...
