        ~emarkp/TPM.commentarii.response
                \-rather than asking you if "i may retort" i'll just say
        "i'm glad i feel no inclindation to defend TPM because that aint
        a ditch i want to die in". suum cuique [that is latin for YMMV].--psb
        \_ I waited 10 days to see it after it came out.  I suspected before
           anyone saw it that it would suck, then everyone I knew said it
           sucked.  I fully expected it to be one of the worst films I'd seen
           in years.  I was disappointed.  My expectations were not fulfilled.
           It was one of the worst films I'd ever seen.  I've seen a lot of
           B and Z quality sci-fi and this was down there at the bottom of
           the lot.  TPM just plan sucked.  I've got a bridge for anyone
           who thought there was a good movie in there somewhere.
                \- so do the people who actually work for lucas feel
                like chumps? or do the people who worked onthe film and
                the peopel who didnt work on the film now have bad blood
                between you? i mean you guys work for lucas because of
                star wars, right? i wrote my commentarii before seeing the
                colonel sanders with the lightsabre commercial,so i was more
                inclined to be forgiving. now i think he has totally lost
                touch and has really sold out. when when is di caprio going
                to be cast as the new "young skywalker"?
                \_ Better yet: Keanu Reeves as Skywalker
                \_ Hey, Leonardo . . . that's a pretty good idea!
                   You should mail that to George Lucas.  Or copyright it,
                   or something.

                   wanted her there.  When she got annoying, he had her kicked

               this whole thing to get fame, but will now be laughed at her
               whole life.   Given the pathetic taped phone conversations,
               I'd say the first is more likely. But If the second one
               were true, she'd still be laughing all the way to the bank.
