Yeah, Charles Nelson Reilly, he's our man,
He can't heal the sick with the touch of his hand,
He can't walk on water, can't make wine flow;
Just another greedy actor on the late late show!

obi wan vs. vader
vader vs. his ladyfriend
vader kills all of the jedi
rise of the empire

and when you consider how f'n stupid and flimsy the other two prequels were, it gives me little hope that the 3rd one will wrap everything up nicely and segway into a new hope as much as the fanz would like it to.

The main gripes I have about the prequals are:

* The technology! - It's too advanced, it should have looked more basic! It's like every went to pot when the Empire took over, maybe it did, but I woulda thought the Imperial war machine would have advanced.
* The clones! - I always thought that the Storm Troopers were conscripts, and made the destruction of the Death Star an even bigger tragedy. Now it doesn't seem to matter so much.

Little kid goes bad. Will work on this after I've done the good bits.

I read part of this sentence wrong the first time. I happily blame Dan Perry.

"So, my lady, I must ask, those titties, where are they at?"

TEASER TRAILER SOON MMKAY?

(actually I kinda did like them, though i last saw the first one when i was 13. It works pretty well as mindless spectacle, and Ep 2 is one of the most exquisitely funny movies I've ever seen. Unintentionally albeit, but really.)

Also, when our heroes have to fight all those monsters in the arena.
Lucas still knows how to set up a good Monster vs. helpless human fight.

The second one begins so terribly (also the middle), but then the end was awesome so I left thinking "decent."

Really, though, the only redeeming thing about the two prequels cinematically is the VERY end of the second, where you see the Emperor look over his huge army of stormtroopers and sorta-star destroyers, with the classic john williams score. Rest of the movies are hard to defend...

Please stop chasing me up hills you fat bastard.

I must go now for my scheduled dose of psychoactive drugs.

plus, the Obi Wan/Jango fight in the 2nd wins 2nd Best. The yoda thing was pure fan service.

I did forget to mention that Liam Neeson's Sanjuro impersonation dulls a lot of the pain in the first one.

It's becoming clearer to me that one of the best things about EP IV-VI was Harrison Ford, who could actually make this shit sing. There's a story I read recently about Mark Hamill asking "I've just got out of the trash compactor, why is my hair still so good?" and Harrison says "This ain't that kind of film, kid". The tragedy is that the Episodes I&II have Ewan McGregor, this generation's Harrison Ford, and wasted him entirely.

i do find George lucas hard to fathom though. I get the impression that he hates all of humanity and Star wars too, and I still have no idea why he's making these movies. Part of me is glad he is though, just because it's upsetting so many people!

It would've made more sense to cater a bit more for the older star wars fans. what a dumb ass.

i think that's an illusion, faux-romanticism even. surely the whole ethos behind the special editions is because Lucas wasn't satisfied with the work done/technology available at the time, the decision to revamp being one made out of love and a desire to improve the craft. granted the CGI often looks shit (tho not in every case) but digital remastering is like cleaning and polishing your vinyl and buying amazing speakers years after the records came out so they sound even better, which to me denotes attention and acknowledgement of love and craft. the chance to make a big new pile of cash was a major bonus of course, but Lucas was rich enough already...

i don't doubt Lucas lovingly recrafted the movies, but he's no longer an artist at the top of his game, and has obscured the brilliance of his original work with the clumsiness of his new additions.

Hahaha

Isn't this exactly what all the old cranks said when Star Wars came out?

he comes from a race called the mon calamari (i ain't making that up either)!

Wasn't there one year (89?) when Harrison Ford had been in five of the top ten highest grossing films ever, and had just missed out on ET and Close Encounters?

i respectfully disagree dude! they totally double-teamed him, that was so cheap!

Lord of the Rings, however, was their complete obsession, and they were even into the extended(!) versions and everything. LOTR is teh nu-star wars for kids, it seems.

Maybe kids don't want to be treated like idiots, Lucas.

Star Wars: Episode 1, Star Wars 2: Attack of The Clones

Harry Potter: every movie except the first one, which almost put me to sleep as well (can't even remember how many there are now or how many I slept through).

Lord of The Rings: Almost fell asleep during the first one, fell asleep during the second one, never bothered with the third one.

ALL OF THESE MOVIES SUCKED ASS!!

(For comparison, here are some similar-type actiony movies that did NOT put me to sleep: X-Men, X2 and Hellboy.)

Layna, YOU ARE TOTALLY SHITTING ME. U will be my sunshine FOREVER if you get some of that thing scanned. I... I HAVE HAMBURGERS. 4 U.

I'm sorry - a friend made these DJs, they're lovely, and I honestly don't have the heart to put them into a context where they'd be mocked. Particularly considering I'm HIGHLY mockable on the whole subject matter.

Huh, I wonder if we know any of the same people...

I don't really travel in doujin or yaoi (haha blast from the past :( ) circles anymore, but anything's possible..!

Then we both looked around us. We were smack-dab in the middle of the theatre row, with utterly transfixed Star Wars geeks on either side. Climbing over these people was a task we did not want to undertake, so we suffered through more bad acting and nonsensical dialogue until the "Crouching Yoda, Hidden Jedi" sequence made it clear that Lucas should just completely CGI the next batch of movies and be done with it. Sigh.

Why do I defend things like this? Why do I always get so riled up about people scorning these kind of films? I dunno, but there are plenty more legitimate targets than a space opera designed for kids.

There was an almost naive freshness about it - it reminded me that there was a time before Star Wars-as-a-cultural-phenom - and it made me want to see the originals again.

To watch Empire tonight and Return maybe as well.

also, what J.D said.

yes!!!!!!!

for all my disdain for these films i forget how incredibly fucking excited i was at one time at the prospect that they one day might be made

OTM!

When it's gotta be said, it's gotta be said. That's all there is to it.

i have a model bust of him i got in the sainsburys on mile end road: on the box it said "jar jar binks sticky tongue figurine" so i had no option but to shell out - however the sticky tongue has since fallen into several gooey bits sadly and he is effectively tongueless

pashmina in the spirit of curious enquiry i am listening to "the best of colosseum" while i clean my kitchen floor - where wd you rank this experience?

and the lord did look upon his 13th disciple. a fantastically irritiating creature whose prescence had driven a great many of his followers to despair. and he spake. get thee hence you titanically annoying fool i mean how the fukc is my dad's book supposed to teach people how to live their lives in any way with you stinking up its pages. and the lord did verily gain r00t access to the creature's sgi workstation. using t3h l33t h4x0r skillz that he did possess. and the creature did dissolve in a great cloud of stinking silicone smoke. and upon the screen of the sgi workstation did appear these words. tihz b0x0r = pwnz0r3d by teh n4z4r3n3 kru ph34r us. and great was the rejoicing across all of galilee.

so I netflixed these because I'm on a space opera kick and really they are bogglingly awful, like memory-wiping traumatic awful. I saw 2 & 3 in the theater and don't remember them being as bad as they are.

note 1: all the dvd commentary - all of it - is either george lucas mumbling and sounding very deranged or some other guys talking about how they did all the special effects. That's it. There is no mention of the acting or storyline except Ben Burtt pointing out that the vast majority of the dialogue was redubbed bcz the sets would have wooden floors and that didn't sound right with people walking around and etc.

1a - to the extent there is mention of any narrative it comes in the form of lucas saying stuff like "uh uh wanted to mmm show the jedi being invincible, the uh droids don't stand a chance, uh um um this is an idea, that the droids are mm too slow, that a droid army isn't a very good er fighting force, that g...gets explored more later, um uh er especially um in the er second film"

note 2: I'm completely serious that lucas sounds like a dissociative madman of film on the commentary tracks. at one point very early on he says that he treated all of these like he was making silent films - the dialogue, sound effects and music were all just the score to accompany the pictures. Shortly thereafter he states that the line "I have a bad feeling about this" is the equivalent of a theme.

note 3: for all the ludicrous attention to detail that was paid in stringing together all these lovely set pieces you think there may have been one person on the payroll who could have pointed out that Anakin Christiansen is hauling nothing more or less than charcoal SAMSONITE LUGGAGE as he accompanies harvard's hottest jewess on their lakeside holiday.

the second one wasn't so bad. the third one might be better.

sorry, that's as fervent as i can get.

sundar's reference to "the old 70s star wars" is, in its way, one of the more unsettling things ever posted on ilx.

i still kinda like the third one. it's not "good" though.

and to be honest, some of the action scenes and effects in these are fun.

each one is extraordinarily insipid in its own way. the second and third ones aren't even fit to wear the disclaimer of children's movies.

you should probably feel ashamed as a filmmaker and a storyteller when a video game of your movies where everything is made of LEGO and all plot points are performed in pantomime by toys is regarded as infinity times better than the source material you spent twenty years and hundreds of millions of dollars making

hahaha true

some of the action scenes and effects in these are fun.

totally

the second and third ones aren't even fit to wear the disclaimer of children's movies.

you think these are MORE insipid than the first one?

Anakin lying by the lava with only one limb left is maybe the darkest shit i've seen in a movie rated under 15 - maybe something in LOTR compares. the whole set up to that scene is pretty ill-conceived tho.

to be fair there is no film out there that wouldn't be bettered by a cute, jokey Lego-based video game version

Apocalypse Now would be a hoot.

Legoodfellas too just for the "construction" lol

Lego My Dinner with Andre possibly not a winner.

I got it -- Blue by Derek Jarman.

LEGO JETÉE THE VIDEO GAME

God I wish I had photoshop
and some legos
and a camera

these are all complete shit and totally indefensible, some of the worst movies ever made. the actions scenes aren't so much fun as expensive; there's lots of shit going on but so poorly directed.

all the star wars movies are crap, the prequels slightly less so due to better production design

well I guess that counts as a defense

It's kind of amazing in hindsight that Orlando Bloom isn't in these

His absence isn't really a defense because Hayden Christiansen is arguably worse.

2 and a half years on from Revenge Of The Sith, studios do not seem interested in generating alternative space operas or epics preferring to focus on fantasy epics set on Earth (bankable super heroes, POTC, Beowulf).

you would think that commercial success of the prequels would not deter studios from wanting to set up something similar if not actually better. you would also think that the dissatisfaction and distaste from many people who grew up with the originals would compel them to try and write new stories, some for kids (Star Wars-like), some for adults (Dune-like) and some for both (POTC-like). the demand for and popularity of sci-fi fantasy is still huge, maybe more than ever, so why is this not happening?

Because they're all too busy watching Battlestar Galactica torrents.

a nu-BSG-esque movie but with actual monsters/aliens would be awesome

all the star wars movies are crap, the prequels slightly less so due to better production design

agree with the first bit.

blueski, the prequels weren't genuinely successful in their own right, it was a franchise roll-over.

that said i thing james cameron's next film is a space fantasy thing.

i guess studios dont really think star wars set any sort of precedent as the massive fanbase and anticipation practically guaranteed they'd make tons and tons of cash. and they're probably right. their success doesn't really prove anything.

(xp)

less high school movies, more space movies.

more high school in space movies!! like starship troopers!!

Showgirls crossed with Blade Runner!

less Paul Anderson space movies, more Paul Thomas Anderson and Wes Anderson space movies

no, please

more anderson cooper space news broadcasts.

less pamela anderson myspace accounts.

starship troopers lost money. dune lost money. star wars is notable as being like the only movie ever to profit at the box office while being not set predominantly on earth.

space opera type stuff is still a giant risk for the studios; lucas OTOH was basically taking no risk at all with the prequels as pointed out above. I mean people sat there and watched nine hours of CG manure dribbling out of the projector because it was a cultural event.

I would watch a wes anderson sci-fi film if he could find a delaurentiis crazy enough to give him the money

I mean clearly owen wilson is suicidal because he's almost 40 and he's never been on the set of a galactic frigate

Brody could just wear that shiny suit of his and pretend he's a 22nd-century sports agent.

too bad "daddy issues in space" has been done already

jesus you even put George Clooney out in space and you just bleed cash all over the place

space is the place if you've got about thirty million dollars that you hate

i bet 'sunshine' made money. didn't cost much.

what we need is a space movie that will revive interest in the genre so they can finally make Pluto Nash 2

http://history.sandiego.edu/GEN/recording/images2/PDRM1996b.jpg

that movie is probably worse than all the prequels combined

i think it's more that nobody has made an actually good space movie rather than that original sci-fi fantasies will always lose money. i like to think so anyway, fuck this ridiculous civilisation otherwise.

i think it's more that nobody has made an actually good space movie

in the last 20 years, i mean

im trying hard to think of any (recent-ish) non-earth movies that were hits. tom has a good point. star trek movies maybe? and even those were piggyback franchise movies.

troopers is good blueski.

sunshine didn't cover costs either:

Budget
£26,000,000 (estimated)
$50,000,000 (estimated)

Gross
$3,654,586 (USA) (23 September 2007) (sub-total)
$27,782,393 (Non-USA) (16 July 2007) (sub-total)

thumbs down

sci-fi is just so much better suited to the small screen, businesswise, ask joss whedon or bbc wales

in summary, sci-fi fans tend to not like leaving the house

dvd sales cover the expenses of most big cgi-fests, but the studios don't wan't to let the auditors to know that

i spell like an alien

troopers is good blueski.

I like it too but there can be better surely, plus I'm thinking more of the sort of film that could excite and inspire under 12s (i suppose a film like ST would do this nowadays ha) but still keep adults interested.

'Sir' Ridley sex SF movies as dead as the western

fuck i am so bad at this

http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article2351086.ece

the point re video games is good, but they still don't compare visually and you can still do more story-wise in film

Pixar will make a space film but it won't do as well as their previous hits because the formula is tired - but everyone will blame it on the setting.

The flashy effects of recent block-busters, such as The Matrix, Independence Day and The War of the Worlds, may sell tickets, but Sir Ridley believes that none can beat Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 sci-fi epic 2001: A Space Odyssey.

lol a knight was high

I'm still up for a Darkstar 're-imagining' with better looks and more jokes

too bad Ridley's only worthwhile films were sci-fi!

other good space movie: GALAXY QUEST

and there again the matrix, id4 and WotW are all on earth with distinctly next-week futurism

sci-fi just needs to get better at speculating cool ideas instead of imitating life as we know it already. I would suggest mining some other Hugo winners for source material instead of pot-virgin epistemological PK Dickwaving but nobody listens to me.

lol in the real version of star wars palpatine already has a terrible track record, is under investigation for all sorts of junk, may have done drugs, was certainly an alcoholic at some point, and gets elected to replace terence stamp anyway

in space the villains don't make you feel as dumb

there needs to be a flick about a robot who gets elected governor of California

I would so totally watch a Bill Clinton biopic if Terence Stamp were cast.

Fifth Element good too (except for when Tricky was on screen) as partial space movie

5th element sucked dide

haha i mean dude.

couldn't decide between dick and dude?

i didn't know there was even a choice in that equation

S1ocki, you missed the love thread on that movie on here a couple of months back. Everyone kept saying "MULTIPASS."

i wasn't sure about Fifth Element at first but found less wrong with it the second and third viewing. looking back at last ten years i just appreciate the ambitiousness and attempt to do something a little different in that genre.

00s fixation on remakes has to wind down for art's sake. big action space movies needn't be more expensive than Master And Commander, The Last Samurai and such big budget mediocrity now - space setting seems to equal less human interest to too many people tho.

master and commander is a great movie.

not that i wouldn't want to see a space master and commander. and i do wish they would make more big sci-fi movies for sure.

Desperate shit, man. These films are the pits.

Fifth Element good too (except for when Tricky was on screen) as partial space movie

Fifth Element is a good film and good entertainment, but I was kinda disappointed with it, because I finally thought there'd be a movie that'd manage to capture some of the sense of wonder of Valérian and Laureline, what with it being directed by a French comic fan, and Mézières himself involved in the design work. (If you believe the rumours, Star Wars too was influenced by Valérian and Laureline.) But in the end it was more of a Bruce Willis action film in a sci-fi setting than a proper space opera, and Mézières's influence could only be seen in the fact that the different aliens looked cooler and more imaginative than in your standard sci-fi flicks.

SF movies as dead as the western

see this would be good news because the western came back in 2007 as oscar bait

I enjoy the Star Wars prequels why because they look intersting

i remember thinking, way back when the first prequel came out, that there actually was an interesting kernel of an idea at the heart of it. a 'comment on fascism vs democracy' even!

like: the galactic order is a mess, complicated and corrupt, with hundreds of different aliens, and the republican government is divided and sluggish. the whole setup depends on a small crew of idealist and super-powerful archaic knights, respected by all, called upon more and more for their diplomatic abilities internally than actually doing any fighting.

and then one of these guys, the youngest and maybe most talented of them all, gets sick of all the gridlock and the inability of the civilian government to deal with galaxy-wide collapse. he falls in with and then leads a cadre of 'bad knights' (widely feared and shunned for being hostile to the liberal order) in a putsch, promising to clean things up and get the space-trains running on time. bonapartism in space, basically. and then years later his estranged revolutionary son comes along...

i mean, that sounds like a great movie to me. shame how it turned out.

yeah the politics of it could make for some pretty interesting high-concept shit and space opera could still have been an effective milieu. unfortunately lucas' need to revert to the mono-myth structure robs it of all depth, plus, nobody actually cares about darth vader, same as they never cared about luke. Ep III is the most tolerable of these because it's told largely from obi-wan's perspective, the only sympathetic (read: not a whining or incomprehensible moron) character in this mess.

"Episode I: The Crisis of Galactic Democracy" by George Lucas from a script by Carl Schmitt

i would watch that shit

Mace Windu was ok too!

that matters a lot but it does not last nearly long enough to excuse even having to FFWD through all the other nonsense in that one. jesus all that CGI pastoral romance bullshit made me want to eat my own brain

But riding around on space hamsters, Tombot.

i've only seen episode I

i still think the "nooooo!" in ep. 3 was one of the seven wonders of camp, and it had a couple of fleeting moments dipped in genuine star wars magic. casting that twerp as anakin in the first place tied their hands, I think it had the potential to be a just-below-average prequel(that is to say, an unqualified triumph compared to the first two) with some more gravitas from the lead.

I think Ian McDiarmid's vivid camp is the only thing I'll remember from those movies; his Palpatine is the only thing that suggests the terror and ridiculousness of Lucas' space-opera conceit.

i seem to remember an unveiling of his massive screaming EVIL-IZED head as he's fighting mace windu that had people rolling in the aisles at the screening. i mean, think about it, ep. 3 was the first time in 5+ hours of the saga where you could even begin to make your own fun. it's a crime is what it is.

Since when are breasts static, is what I want to know.

I'm not saying they wax and wane with the cycles of the moon (although for some women they do) but it is not at all unbelievable or out of the ordinary for a woman's breasts to be a different sizes over the span of several years. It's not that hard! (yet) (sorry)
