More soon.
Attack of the Clones gets the RLM tratment at last!
- Thread starter Flying Spaghetti Monster
- Start date
Oh, freakin' sweet. I've been waiting for this.
8 of the nine parts are up. The Samuel L. Jackson part (he spends 10 minutestalking about just him) isn't quite as good as the other parts, but the lightsaber lecture is pure classic RLM

I came here to post the link myself as he just put them up a few hours ago.
I love this guy, he may sound funny ( an act of course) but he also makes salient points and he really knows what makes good Star Wars work and why the new movies failed.

Must... have... part 9....
Awesome, just awesome... I just finished part 9.
Overall the review is not as great as the TPM one, but it comes very close. My favorite part has to be listing all the wrong things Anakin does when pursuing Padme.
Especially the "skeletor hand" one at the end. Comedy Gold.

My favorite was treating the lightsaber fight like a video game!
The reviews were funny, I'll grant him that.
The whole capturing a prostitute and forcing her to watch?, not so much.
I wonder if George Lucas has ever seen these reviews, and what his reaction would be. (My guess though is that he has made his million of dollars, and couldn't care less of what an internet reviewer thinks of him or his work)

Despite how much he trashes the film, you can tell he is a great fan of Star Wars... especially the original films

He actually changed my view of them.
I defended them as being pretty good and that though there were too many special effects the general plot was sound. He actually knows what makes a good story work and he's right about how inane some of the choices Lucas made were. Both big and small.
I mean I remember back in the late 80s having those little "debates" I might call them, over Slurpees, about George Lucas making more Star Wars films. Friends would say he's working on them because he already wrote the books. Then I'd explain that he didn't write any books...those were novelizations by other people.
Anyway, the feeling I had in the late 80s was that Lucas was finished with Star Wars and that he was going to move on to other things, and in my 13 year-old mind I figured that even though he created Star Wars, he perhaps wanted to be done with it and movie on to more 'mature' types of movies. I don't mean I thought he should do that, but that it would basically be too good to be true that he wouldn't mind doing more.
Then he did come back and it seemed like he'd lost touch with it all.

I have to agree that in his review of The Phantom Menace the serial killer components were kind of fun in a completely deranged way, but I've only seen five parts of his Attack of the Clones review and I can't really finish it, mostly because he spends a bit too much time on those components. It becomes very unsettling after a while, to be perfectly honest.
The best part with the serial killer storyline was when the probe droid flies through as the two victims are putting together the puzzle.
It may just be because I have a much stronger interest in Trek, but I think his reviews of the TNG films are far superior to his Star Wars stuff.

I did enjoy how TNG kept on finding its way into his AOTC review.
You know, maybe I'm biased because I like the prequels, but I don't get the love for this...guy? Company? Whatever. I can never get past the first few minutes, because I don't think anything he says is funny, and the way he talks, which I guess is supposed to be humourous, just annoys the shit out of me.
That review was too funny and too true.
