Paul Stanley is the most long winded TBer EVER by krullboy	May 16th, 2005 12:45:56 AM
He has officially surpassed SirBitachReturns, MinasTirithII, and ForeverTJ combined.

Good one.

Just like Chancellor Palpatine IS Darth Sidious

My $6 is going to see Star Wars III. Actually, I'm not in the bottom tax bracket, so it might even cover the whole cost of my ticket ...

Posting off topic in a talkback can get your posts deleted or even your account deleted, especially if it contains personal attacks, racial abuse and the like, just in case there was still anyone out there who was wondering how it can happen ...

Please shut up and go away. No one here knows or cares about you. It wasn't a talkbacker that banned you (they don't have the power), it was the people who actually run this site.
You know, I really, really hope ROTS kicks my ass, but... by JackBurton	May 16th, 2005 02:20:30 AM
I think all this pre-release hype is, at the end of the day, going to do the film a lot of damage, especially when, even if it is damn good, or even great, it doesn't turn out to be "the best film ever!", or even "the best Star Wars film ever!". I understand the excitement, but people are hyping this film up way too much, with all the bullshit "it makes the first two films better" type stuff. It's gotten to the point where most fans are seemingly expecting a filmic second coming, and should it turn out to be anything less than that there's going to be a huge negative backlash and overwhelming feeling of disappointment amongst a whole lot of people. After all this hype (which happened last two times around too with mostly highly positive and over hyped early word, which people seem to have chosen to since forget or ignore) how can it even hope to live up to such over inflated expectations, even if it is better, or even far better than the last two prequel outings? I also have to wonder just what degree of nostalgia and special treatment and forgiveness this film is recieving from many reviewers simply because it is 'The Last Star Wars Film Ever' tm., makes you wonder a little bit at least, doesn't it? **************************** ************************** ************** Now I'm not here saying it's gonna suck, as I honestly hope against hope that it does deliver and kick ass left, right, up, down and all around, honestly nothing would make me happier than to see one final great Star Wars adventure, like I first experienced back in '77. But all I am saying is adjust your expectations folks, don't fall prey to all this damn hype, and don't go in expecting the best film ever made, or chances are no matter how good the film actually may be, it'll still be a disappointment and you won't enjoy it half as much as you could have done had you not had such sky high expectations going in to begin with. Go in with an open mind and a glimmer of hope, and see where it takes you. That's what I'm doing anyway, and then we'll just see what we'll see...
I sense something, a presence I've not felt since... by prevert	May 16th, 2005 02:22:04 AM
..ForeverTJ? Now thats a name I've not heard in a looong time. A long time.
by foreignerbelt	May 16th, 2005 02:23:36 AM
oo. impressive quelling of rampant douchebaggery webmasters I must say. does that make us the establishment? is AICN 'The Man'?
who's paul stanley? by banthafodderUK	May 16th, 2005 02:34:03 AM
3 fucking days to go (there are pirate copies floating about now, but ive not given in...MUST. STAY. STRONG).
waaaayyyyyyyy too much hype here by jonahmavesin	May 16th, 2005 02:34:40 AM
come on. I saw Fellowship a bunch of times, and the original Matrix a bunch more than that. you're telling me that Sith is going to be even on that plane? it's hard to have lower expectations after the last few, true, but these reviews are really pushing things. this movie had better rock my socks off, or I'm going to be pissed.
Anyone catch the SW-satire ending of 'Family Guy' tonight? by HanFiredFirst	May 16th, 2005 02:37:27 AM
Peter Griffin receives a medal from mayor Adam West on the steps of City Hall, with R2 and Threepio in the background ... SW trimuphal march playing as the screen goes to the standard SW end credit roll. LOL!
Wasn't Paul Stanley in KISS? by HanFiredFirst	May 16th, 2005 02:39:29 AM
They, like, rocked. I wonder if he posts in makeup.
"It kicks fucking arse." by BocoZero	May 16th, 2005 02:45:07 AM
All I have to say to all you Episode III boosters, is you better be right, because this is the most hyped I've been for a movie in my life. And I am no Ep I and II apologist either.
I am trying NOT to get excited, but it's hard at this point.... by Doom II	May 16th, 2005 02:57:58 AM
...as these reviews are all pretty positive. Anyone been in a Burger King this past week? I've never seen a marketing blitz this blatant at a food chain. Taco Bell was saturated with Phantom Menace stuff, but EVERY INCH of Burger King was plastered in posters, standups and Sith images! The 31 different toys are decent, so I may geek out and just eat Kid's Meals for the next month. That Burger King Darth Vader/Anakin figure is already going for 25.00 on ebay! Man I hate fast food.
Screw it! by Brundlefly	May 16th, 2005 02:58:24 AM
I', officially hyped for this fucking film! It better rule or i'll fucking hunt Lucas down and kick his ass - but not before shaving that fucking beard off him and seeing his round, pudgy egg head in all its glory.
Best of the prequels, but less than Jedi by moviemaniac-7	May 16th, 2005 03:00:07 AM
As far as all reviews are concerned. Fuck it, I'll be there. Call me an apologist, but I kinda like the prequels.
apologist. by jonahmavesin	May 16th, 2005 03:02:06 AM

Fucking A Prevert, Fucking A. . . . by krullboy	May 16th, 2005 03:33:48 AM
You know that Paul Stanley IS ForeverTJ, and I think it is fucking hilarious that his post are already gone. Give him credit; you can't keep him down. Now if only Cocolopez/Marvin Gardens would return. . .

See those bald pics of Natalie PORNman at Cannes? Just imagine her with the GI Jane haircut wrestling your woman Michele Heaton. Oh yes, ROTS will fucking ROCK. The NY Times said it was THE BEST SW movie better, even better than ANH. And one more thing, MinasTirithII, get the fuck back here now bitch!!! It is gametime!!
NY Times reviewer by Frank-Booth	May 16th, 2005 04:00:57 AM
said it was the best SW movie George Lucas directed. The reviewer does not state how he ranks it against Empire.
Roger Ebert just gave RotS three and a half out of four stars. by Colonel_Blimp	May 16th, 2005 04:19:07 AM
I'm officially excited. Heck, I woulda been excited just by the release of a new SW film, but it's also the LAST one, and it's getting rave reviews all over the place. May 19th will be a day long remembered. Read the review here: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com /apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20 050515/REVIEWS/50503002 I'm to scared of spoilers to read it myself.
KRULLBOY - Natalie PORNman looks like a carpet muncher in those by banthafodderUK	May 16th, 2005 04:19:33 AM
oh yeah mate - who is paul stanley????
why do you have to be an apologist just cause you like the prequ by Colonel_Blimp	May 16th, 2005 04:35:23 AM
They're fun. They ARE! I mean it. The battle of geonosis is second only to the battle of Hoth when it comes to SW ground battles IMO.
BanthafodderUK, Paul Stanley is either ForeverTJ, or one of the by krullboy	May 16th, 2005 04:51:10 AM

Nice ROTS review, thx. by CurryIce	May 16th, 2005 06:24:13 AM

Wrestling Screw Up. by Cpt Kirks 2pay	May 16th, 2005 06:45:33 AM
Michelle Heaton was on CW Saturday, and quitted whilst she was still behind as she was getting the shit kicked out of it. Bitch, I've never been so sexually frustrated since the first girl that I kissed, a right fat shitter, kissed her alsation in front of me, and said that HE was a better kisser than me. Rather Kiss A Wookie. Sheet, no I know why.
CPT KIRK & KRULLBOY by banthafodderUK	May 16th, 2005 06:56:58 AM
KRULLBOY - CHEERS FOR THAT MATE - WHY DID HE GET BANNED? CPT KIRK - REMEMBER, I ACTUALLY KNOW WHO THE GIRL WAS YOU FIRST KISSED AND I WOULD RATHER LICK MY OWN ARSEHOLE THAN GO NEAR HER (EEEEAARGH)
You guys trust Ebert? by JackBurton	May 16th, 2005 07:40:46 AM
That silly fat fuck gave Phantom Menace three and a half stars as well. I mean he's entitled to his opinion and all, but his ratings mean less than nothing to me personally, and I certainly don't see his endorsement as anything to get overly excited about. Still, that's just me I guess...
he gave aotc two stars by Colonel_Blimp	May 16th, 2005 08:02:36 AM
So that means he thinks RotS is 75% better than AotC and... Ok, I completely agree that ALL rating systems are by definition flawed. My point is only that Ebert is one of the best known and well respected critics in the world, and I find my own taste often to coincide with his. I wouldn't have cried and chosen not to se RotS if he had given it one star, but his positive review makes me look forward to this even more, giving me hopes that this movie may actually have the artistic merits I hope it has.

I'll say that I'm gonna wait and see what Margaret and David have to say. Always right. Always.
F/X in a Star Wars film? Noooooooooo! by bib fortuna	May 17th, 2005 11:17:06 AM
Ok in less than 48 hours I'll finally get to see the movie. I enjoy reading the reviews but the opinions of other people won't sway my excitement up or down. That being said, it is still annoying when reviewers who are supposed to know something completely miss the boat. I've seen a couple negative reviews ripping the amount of CGI and effects. One review (Rolling Stone)compared it to the OT and called the effects in that trilogy "low tech". Umm, the effects in the OT not only were the best available at the time by a long shot, they had to create a whole new company (ILM) to invent the technology necessary to have such special effects. So now CGI and digital film are available and Lucas is making use of it. It makes no sense to say they should have done it like the OT. That's exactly what they are doing! Sorry, I'm sure everyone here knows this. I just had to vent somewhere about the stupidity of some critics.
