You saw Punch Drunk Love seven times in cinemas? Can you tell me why? I guess you were seeing something I missed because that movie was just sort of empty to me. I always felt it was a misfire by PTA. It certainly had a unique tone. I did love the interstitial bursts of colour and sound over a white screen.

Jared Leto was at my screening of Punch Drunk Love. Earlier in the day he was going up the escalator in front of me in Chapters (our version of a mega-bookstore), and I'm sure he was talking to Oliver Stone about Alexander on his earpiece.

The only movie I ever saw seven times at theatres? Attack of the Clones... by refilling my popcorn and having a smoke during certain sections (when Anakin and Padme take off to Naboo) it made for a decent distraction from the worst summer of my life. I also would often go to the movies at that point just out of habit, to smoke a joint in the parking lot and then mindlessly chew popcorn for a couple hours. I did this so much that I think I bought north of 70 movie tickets in 2002. I remember seeing so much shit I knew would be bad that year, like True Crime, Spyder, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Master of Disguise, Feardotcom, PowerPuff Girls, The Real Cancun (walked out of that one) that summer just because I had a compulsion to go sit in a darkened theatre. Looking back I really should have bought tickets to better movies if I was going to be going, the problem though is part of the compulsion was this specific white cheddar topping that was only sold at one chain of multiplexes, which showed only the most mainstream shit... aaaanyways I was just really wondering what you got out of Punch Drunk Love that would make you see it seven times. Did you find something there or were you just looking?

Hello!!!! Obi didn't kill Boba's dad, Mace Windu sliced off his head a little while after Jango set his cape on fire. If George Lucas read this he would faint, wait that would be good........ No more minute errors!

I think you're right Sylvester. Episode 1 has the best use of sabers. The opening twenty minutes of this movie is also quite good, especially the very opening on the trade federation ship. The suckage starts with Jar Jar's first appearance, but the Gungan city and the Jedi's passage through the underwater core of Naboo are some classic Star Wars if you ask me. Things get truly shitty once Anakin shows up.

One thing I hate about the prequels is how every single character who shows up in eps 4-6 is somehow tied to the events of eps 1-3... worst offences being:
1. Darth Vader created C3PO
2. Yoda knows Chewbacca
3. Obi-Wan killed Boba Fett's dad
