I did learn to read. I started learning to read when I was 2 years old. I don't want to read a movie. That's why we have these things made of paper called "books". They use words to make up sentences. Left to right. Front to back. Take Tylenol for any headaches, Mydol for any cramps.
chirst...
stop being a baby. there are people in the world who don't speak english... they make films too, is that okay with you captain america?
I don't need a point anymore... you've already confirmed my point. What was yours again?
you never really had one, you're just a another typical eyecandy junkie lowering the standards for everyone.
You probably have the full collection of Olsen Twins movies, too. Are they special editions?
How about Kazaam! with Shaq? Corky Romano?
i don't like the PT so suddenly you resort to this school yead bullshit.. honestly man, how old are you... you sound more like olsen twin material... me? i just wanna do them.
both...
So, Lucas should have forgot about the main character scheme and gone with two movies full of nothing but what's going on in the rest of the galaxy? I agree... totally unacceptable. And how do you justify making two full movies containing nothing but fighting a war, while the main plot of the movies suffers? Need I mention these are prequels and they are limited to a 2 hour time frame each? Do you think you could write a better script that would depict a war going on in the background while concentrating on a very extensive list of main characters and their exploits? I seriously doubt it.
So, Lucas should have forgot about the main character scheme and gone with two movies full of nothing but what's going on in the rest of the galaxy?it seems that's what he did... well more to the point he focused on unimportant aspects.
we knew that ani and padme had to get together... we didn't really need to see how that happened.
the trilogy could have started with them already dating... it was what happened between ani and obi that was more important TO THE STORY!!! as their both characters of influence in the movies these are prequelling.
Do you think you could write a better script that would depict a war going on in the background while concentrating on a very extensive list of main characters and their exploits? I seriously doubt it. Yes... yes i do. I would hardly call anikan, obiwan, palpatine, padme, and yoda an extensive list.
besides which there are many war movies that do just that. good ones.
Eh... no, I'm not. I know the difference between Orlando Bloom and Hayden Christenson.
good for you.
Seriously, stop with the high and mighty attitude. You're no better than Lucas. Your fecal matter stinks just as bad as everyone elses'. Have you ever written a trilogy and then turned around nearly 20 years later and tried to write a prequel trilogy to it? I wouldn't believe you if you said yes. It's not as easy as it may seem.
that was a retarded response for so many reasons...
i haven't jumped in a bathtub with a hair dryer either but i know not to do that.
the films were out for 20+ years... that's more than enough time to sit down with a notepad and take note of what the characters said of certain events before making a film that covers those events...
it's not that hard... nothing high and mighty about it. it's just basic common sense.
While I don't agree with adding the SE crap, I will agree that it is Lucas' project. I write music, and if I don't feel like it is finished I will leave it alone for the time being. I will go back to it... sometimes a few years later and change something or omit something. It's the same way with painting, or writing a "book" (see above for this). If an artist feels his/her project is unfinished at the time of creation, it is the artists' right to go back and finish it. Just because some other people say, "I don't like this, you should change it in this aspect," doesn't mean Lucas has to bow down to the public and create his universe the way everyone else wants it to be.
okay... lets say KING MISSLE had never released their albums on CD. just tape and record...
then they come out and release their back catalog on CD only all the tracks have been remixed by P-diddy and have the jamster frog all over them...
and then all the fans say; 'hey we want the origianls on CD' and they say, 'look this is how we really wanted it to sound, so now you can have it like this... sorry you like a hlaf completed work so much but you can still get it on second hand tape if you want them that bad!'
how would that make you feel?
Right. I understand absolutely nothing. I'm just a stupid musician/artist that understands nothing. Every artist is an exception to this rule because there is no rule. Therefore, there is no such thing as an exception to this rule because it doesn't exist. You as the viewer have the right to critique a piece of art, but you don't have the right to change it if it isn't yours to begin with. Why is Lucas only an exception? Anybody? Oh, oh, I know why! It's because you don't understand the principle behind a work of art. Lucas created it. He owns it. Why couldn't he do with it as he pleases? It's his. It's not yours, and it never was yours. If you don't like the movies, I don't see why you're so enamored with this whole, "We should be able to have some kind of say so before someone changes their own work" ideology. It's not yours to change. Get over it. If you have the actual editor's reel in your possession, it still isn't yours. Lucas created it and he will always be the creator of it. In no way, shape, or form will you ever be in control of what Lucas does to his own creation. That's the sad truth to this whole matter. Welcome to reality. Watch your step as you come on board.
"If what I am saying doesn't make sense, it is because sense is not something that can be made. It is something that must be sensed, and I, for one am insensed by all of this complacency." - King Missile
i've already cleared up this point... there's no 'law' but there are rules...
there are some guidlines to what makes music/film/books art... there is only one rule to making a prequel... it has to match up. it can't be different to what the original movie said it was... then it's just nothing.
[color=blue]"You as the viewer have the right to critique a piece of art," really? then how come everytime i do, some jerk starts yelling at me and saying Lucas can do whatever he likes???

Watch your step as you come on board. the principal behind a piece of work is once its complete, its complete... there can only be one submission... if its constantly 'upgraded' its not a work of art at all... because it will never truley be finished. to release art is to take a risk, if you can't do that, you're no artist.
you and lucas share a very interesting thing... but it's not reality. the only reality here is that rich people can fuck with poor people, and there is nothing they can do about it... but the day i let someone tell me i'm not alowed to complain about it, will be one truley fucked up state of affairs...
i'm a musician too and i wouldn't pull this bullshit...
get a grip...
