If you've ever wondered why it sucks so bad but you couldn't put your finger on what it was... here's some reasons. Warning: The language is NSFW. And it's 70 minutes. |

Heh, I watched this the other day (I think slashdot linked to it). I could have done without the pizza roll nonsense, but I did like the rest. How anyone could forget the lessons learned from World War I and the French Revolution is beyond me. |

Michael Moore meets George Lucas. "George and Me" Interesting how much the large battle scenes look like WH Apocalypse -- gotta have "ramming rules" for armored vehicles.... right. The reviewer does a great job of taking apart the lightsaber choreography.  One of the things that was fairly cool about Lord of the Rings was that the swordplay tended to be pretty efficient -- one, two, or maybe three actions, max, before there was blood. The drag-on lightsaber duels in PM were transparently exibition bouts. Compare to the footage from Plovdiv, 2009.  Around 3:09 is a comparatively long bit of swordplay before there is a hit -- and it would be quite disabling with a lightsaber. European Epee championships. |

I found it entertaining and insightful, in spite of the tone-deaf "crazy serial murderer" element. Obviously nothing tragic or gruesome ever happened in his social circle. I'm thankful he finally gave voice to the awfulness of TPM. |
