Episode III
 

It's on may 19 !!!
does anyone know if the date is worldwide? European ledgies? Australian ledgies?.. etc (I think Ep-II opening date was worldwide)

I would imagine it's worldwide to prevent a loss of revenue due to bootlegging. It's being shown at Cannes this year, I believe, they just rolled out the films that are going to be shown. It's not in competition, though.

I don't know if I'm going to see it. It sounds intriguing but I don't like Star Wars at all. But that Hayden is a hottie and I love love love Natalie Portman, so I might see it.

I have been burned by George Lucas five times in a row with this Star Wars ****. I ain't going in for number six.

By "burned" I mean

1) I saw Star Wars in 1977 in the movie theaters when I was eight years old. I wasn't old enough to realize what a piece of **** it was then.

2) I saw Empire Strikes Back in the movie theaters in 1980 when I was eleven years old and I was old enough to recognize what a piece of **** it was then.

3) I reluctantly saw Return of the Jedi in the movie theaters in 1983 when I was fourteen and I would have walked out, but I was with friends and had to wait for my ride back from the movie theater anyway.

4) I refused to see The Phantom Menace. However, I was in Palm Springs on vacation and it was hotter than hell, so my partner and I decided to give it a chance. OY!!! Whatta stinkah!!! It had been released for some time at that point and we knew the reviews but, at the time, Palm Springs only had one or two movie theaters so..... :rolleyes:

5) I absolutely knew better with Attack of the Clones. However, one drowsy weekend it was on some cable channel so I TiVo'd it. Alls I can say is thank gawd for TiVo's fast forward button! Horribly bad.... horrible, horrible, horrible.

So, now there is no chance in hell I will waste my time on this drivel. All I can say is I'm glad it's finally all over and that this is the last of it.

I've mostly escaped seeing any of them! It's a miracle! I've seen parts of some of the old ones...but I just don't like it!

I haven't seen one Star Wars flick, either. Don't plan on it. :D

You are a wise man, mah dear. They blow chunks...

I LOVED the first one and thought the next two were okay - the prequels have all been wtretched, the last one unwatchable to me. So, I will prob. wait to see the final one on cable. But, I may go one rainy Sunday - ya never know.

I want to see Ep. III. I always liked Star Wars. And oh yeah, Hayden and Natalie are HOT. :nod:

I liked the old Star Wars movies. The new ones didn't impress me but I plan on giving Episode III a try.

And Natalie Portman is hot. :nod:

Shamus

Ep. I and II were really campy and a bit lame, but I think Ep.II might just be the best zero-substance eye candy I've ever seen in my life. :laugh: :nod:

And Hayden and Natalie are still hot. Hayden a little more, because he's like, dark and brooding and all, and Padme (Natalie) can be a bitch sometimes.

You got that right :thumbsup:

I am so there. I have been watiting for this installment for years. Can't wait to see Anakin kick Obi Wan's ass. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of Ewan MacGregor as a bearded Obi Wan. Ugh. Couldn't they have found someone better and less annoying?

I'm also really intrigued by the plot of this last one...and I'm curious as to how Anakin is going to finish his transformation from a troubled young Jedi into Darth Vader. It's the ultimate pitting of good against evil and Anakin's inner turmoil is going to produce some yummy brooding looks from Hayden ~swoon~. I also can't wait for another Yoda fight scene. Loves me some Yode. I wish there was a Yoda emoticon to really punctuate that. :laugh:

Then get on over to PageSixSixSix, those pictures will make you orgasmic. They certainly had that effect on me. :laugh:

I cannot stand Ewan MacGregor. I think the only movies I've actually liked that he was in are Shallow Grave and Moulin Rouge (what a perfect movie!). Oh, and Little Voice, I love that one, too. I get annoyed by him being bare ass and showing his wang off in practically every movie. It ain't that special. I still remember suffering through The Pillow Book and sitting in absolute misery as I watched Velvet Goldmine. He needs to go far away. -_-

I saw them, someone posted a link on the Black Ink board. I almost creamed myself too. :laugh: :o

Dirrrrrrrty Hayden. I would be all over that like white on rice. :D

Yeah, Velvet Goldmine. LOVE that movie...for all the obvious reasons of course and I'm sure you know what they are ;)
What I didn't like about that movie was Christian Bale :eek: and Ewan M. Now as you may or may not know, I ADORE Christian Bale but his character in Velvet Goldmine seriously made me want to vomit. I don't know what it was about him...he just seriously got under my skin. And I NEVER want to see Ewan MacGregor in eye make-up or pantsless again for as long as I live! :laugh:
