Re: "Reviews From Another World" -- a new take on the Star Wars preque
Yup. Furthermore, some people have rightly pointed out that the prequels were like one long informative video on the merits of ILM's work. Like a DVD in a white cardboard envelope, sent from the ILM sales department. If you're a hotshot company exec, you might get it in the mail. Maybe so, but that's one awesome company promo! Commercial Art I guess, like Norman Rockwell's Evening post covers. Is it art?

Please don't, because every film you mention is leagues ahead of the Star Wars prequels. About the only modern scifi films that the prequels would trump in the area of storytelling would be the straight to video junk.

The second one hit the mark for me. It really is unpralleled in my eyes, esp the war at the end and the arena scene. To me it does fall under Starship Troopers as best science fiction film. At least the one that I like to see. 2001 was great but it's old and plodding. The third one lost me when Anikin cut off Windu's hands. I wasn't buying it. That was too much. Even my bootleg couldn't take that and stopped playing thankfully because I never returned to it and never will. I realize some of the imagery was beautiful but it just veered too far left and broke my willing suspension of disbelief. The first one was a cartoon joke. I don't like cartoons, anime or comics.

And like Roddenberry, that's when his little enterprise turned to shit. I remember an article Melinda Snodgrass wrote in Omni around the time she left the show. She pointed out the Gene was now believing his own bullshit, and that now he had decided this was philosophy.

Is this bizarro bbs? Why am I reading about the PT being better than 95% of film sci-fi? Starship Troopers is a bar to measure sci-fi films against? Whaaaaaa?
This is a joke, right? Blade Runner and Aliens suck? ATOTC is the pinnacle of sci-fi? Really? Am I being punk'd?
By the way, I appreciate you trying to put something together, OP, but I couldn't get through the review. I don't want to look at anyone clearly just reading a script into a camera. Granted, the Aussie accent was a plus, but that can't carry you on its own. Throw some clips up to illustrate your points, kill a hooker, eat a cat, do something.
