Johnny Rico Speaks Out Against Child Abuse

Throbbin says...

Sooo...I'm guessing you know why Johnny Rico is doing PSA's now?

Don't get me wrong, Child Abuse is terrible. But this is a rough equivalent to Han Solo doing PSA's promoting safe sex..it seems like a weird and unnatural coupling.

Star Wars Retrospective - Part 6

ponceleon says...

It is really interesting. I remember Dark Forces just being absolutely awsome. That said, I remember when the original Jedi Knight came out, I was a bit pissed off about it because I felt it was a cop-out to make Katarn a Jedi. In the original game, he was basically a Han Solo clone without having to be Han Solo. Solo isn't a Jedi and I felt the were just kind of desperate to include a light-saber...

Still, I did play Outcast and it was another awesome game. I remember thinking that it was some of the best light-saber action in any game...

jwray says...

Bill Clinton as emperor palpatine? Come on, get your star wars fantasy straight.
Dick Cheney -> Emperor Palpatine
Carl Rove -> Darth Vader
Bush -> JarJar
McCain -> Grand Moff Tarkin
Halliburton -> Trade Federation
Bill Clinton -> Whomever the old chancellor was
Hillary -> Lando
Gravel / Ron Paul -> Admiral Ackbar
Obi Wan -> Richard Dawkins
Samuel L Jackson -> Samuel L Jackson
Kucinich's Hot Wife -> Princess Leia
Han Solo -> Me
Luke Skywalker -> Obama????


Actually that doesn't make any sense. I only put myself as Han Solo because Elizabeth Kucinich is Leia...

Computer Animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars Teaser Trailer

Watching the first 3 and the last 3 movies its so easy to see how George Lucas fucked it up, the first 3 movies were more based around the story set in wonderful universe, the effects were there to flesh it out, since it used models and props everything looked aged, scratched, filled with pockmarks from repeated laser blasts. The actors were in sets as well, it was easier to imagine Anakin's home world because they actually went and filmed in the Tunisian desert, Han Solo and Chewie actually sat in a cockpit of the Millennium Falcon. There was a tangible reality to the setting and events.

The last 3 movies were more about bombastic effects & CGI wankery, I mean really what was the reason behind Jar jar or that big disgusting thing Obi Wan meets in some diner? "ILM can do fake looking annoying characters" I actually remember that off one of their interviews.

The whole story of the first 3 movies was setting up the last 3, you already knew what was going to happen. It could have been a wonderful dramatic vehicle to see how Anakin slowly turns to the Dark Side by successive loses, where the power is the seducing factor not some old creep. But even then nothing was surprising or tangible because how are actors supposed to relate to something to the backdrop of a green screen? All the principal actors are award winning, yet they looked as convincing as the CGI characters because how are you supposed to emote to directions like "There is a big monster, look scared" or "You see thousands of Stormtroopers and a huge battle is taking place". Furthermore how is it that the past ends up looking far more advanced and futuristic then the present, its like they warped back in time technologically. But that just clarifies how visual effects took importance over the story line and characters.

George Lucas was never a good director of actors, he was always great behind the scenes making the effects work, and you can see how that took precedent in the last 3 films over making the story actually work. In some instances he seemingly just gave up, especially when Liam deduced Anakin's power by simple blood test, it killed the magical mythos of what being a Jedi was, and how it was so appealing to kids. The original 3 made it seem like being a Jedi was about believing in yourself, allowing the force take root within you.

The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite Star Wars film because it dared to be black, it dared to be a wonderful fantasy fable set in the future and more so it was actually directed by someone who sought to bring life and drama to the characters and events.

The Clone Wars special on Cartoon Network were amazing, they combined high fantasy with some actual character leanings, and in my opinion actually were better then the final film, which I thought was a enormous let down. Anakin becoming Darth Vader should have been the darkest chapter, yet it was all reduced to him being told by Emperor that his girl died, he screams "Nooooooo" and then is like "Okay so now am evil".
