5/22    The movie has been out for a week now and we haven't had a soda
        poll?  come on.  What do you guys think of Attack of the Clones?
        great:
        good:
        ok:
        sucked:
        I want my money back:
        better than the first:          .
        I want my bandwidth back:       .
        \_ an ESL student could have written better dialogue.
        \_ i've talked to exactly one person who thinks
           this movie is actually good.  who can do better than that?
           \_ many people in my office (whose movie opinions i trust less
              than my mother's) loved it.
           \_ My baby brother liked it, but he's been kind of a shill
              for Lucas. He liked Ep 1, ferchrissakes.
        pure genius: .
        \_ I didn't know George Lucas had a CSUA account???
        great:
        good:
        ok: ...
        sucked: .
        I want my money back:
        better than the first:          ...
        I want my bandwidth back:       .
        \_ don't judge based on the first VCD that came out. it's far
           more entertaining being able to take in all the detail.
           \_ Okay. I'll wait for the SVCD direct camera dub.
        Have had better things to do (like clipping toenails): .....
        What's Attack of the Clones?: .
        Are boycotting crappy Lucas Films: .
        Are boycotting motd polls: .
        Are boycotting all boycots:
        Were molested by Lucas or a clone: .
        \_ The fact that no one has bothered to mention it yet should say
           enough about how shitty it was.  Mostly it's like who really wants
           to admit they spent money on it?  In the first week?  I plan on
           waiting 5 or 6 weeks and seeing a matinee so at least I know the
           bulk of my 5 bucks goes to the local theatre and not that bozo,
           Lucas.
           \_ Just wait for the SVCD direct dub, it should be out by next week.
              \_ It's not worth the download effort.  I don't mind paying 5
                 bucks to see it.  I mind Lucas getting more than a few pennies
                 of my 5 bucks.
                    \_ Well, it you don't mind spending $5 and going to the
                       theater its okay. I prefer d/l'ing it and watching it
                       home since I can fast fwd the dull bits.
                       \_ I prefer going out; to each his own.
                 \_ Man, personally I thought it was one of the most
                    entertaining productions I've ever seen. God damn, can't
                    you people just relax and enjoy something? Why would you
                    mind Lucas getting more $$ I mean he's already a
                    gazillionaire and after all it isn't the theater that
                    does something worth $$ it's the producers of the movie.
                    \_ Except for providing entertainment, employment, and
                       a social center.  Theaters don't do anything.  Nope.
                    \_ Because I'd rather support my local theatre than stuff
                       any more money into Lucas' pockets that he hasn't
                       earned.  Your reasoning: he's rich so let's make him
                       even richer just because we can!  Hey, can you send _me_
                       a few hundred bucks?  Just because.
                       \_ I'd say that he's earned it. He made a movie you
                          apparently want to see. --dim
                          \_ No. I only want to see it enough to pay 5 bucks
                             several weeks later so the bulk of my money goes
                             to non-Lucas entities.  There are degrees.
                             \_ why not just skip it?  speaks a lot louder to
                                your convictions
                                \_ You're not getting it.  The world is not
                                   black n white.  It has value.  Just a much
                                   lower value to me than to you.
                                   \_ your reply is unclear.  watch your
                                      pronouns.
                                      \_ It's clear in context.  ESL?
                                         \_ I could ask the same of you, but
                                            an ESL student would have a better
                                            grasp of the issue.  Saying "The
                                            world is not black n white. It has
                                            value," the second sentence appears
                                            to be referring to "the world,"
                                            which I presume you did not mean,
                                            as that would make less sense than
                                            what you seem to be saying. Are
                                            what you seem to be saying. Are
                                            you the my hairy ball guy?
                                            you the bowling ball guy?
                                            \_ Try again: thread context. The
                                               topic was star wars, not the
                                               world.  You can go spank now.
                    \_ The whole reason to dl it is to relax and enjoy the
                       movie in the comfort of your own home. Its much easier
                       to pause the movie, fast fwd the dull parts, rewatch
                       the good bits etc. when you are watching it at home.
                       I also personally dislike the crowds, the uncomfortable
                       seats, the unnaturally loud sound system and the whole
                       dark atmosphere of theaters.
                       \_ If youre talking about the various Berkeley theatres
                          then yeah no kidding home is better.  Where I live
                          the seats are new, there's leg room, people shower,
                          and the sound is set correctly after the previews
                          end.  I wouldn't see a movie in Berkeley, either.
