Attack of the Clones

I agree. It's right up there with the other cheesy titles.

I wonder what this means about the scriptment though...... 😕

That;s already being discussed in a couple of other threads around here...

Robbery has said the most sensible thing since the title was announced. 🙂

Hey, *I* made that point ages ago!

But he said it better. 😛

Why do we have two sites that talk about the same issue?

Darn!

Oh, that; just how things worked out.

As long as there is a good reason... 😉

You people would like anything that pops out of GL's mind, no matter how ridiculous! 🙄

Err... haven't I just spent time making out that I DON'T think that; that blind defence is as bad as blind attack?

Just to let you know, I am not a blind defender. It took me about 6 hours of thought and a night of dreaming about attacking clonetroopers for me to really like the title.

"mumbles, mumbles" *Phinney6 cut my tounge out*

Since this is numero 100, it will be my last post for the afternoon. I read this quote at TF.N. It really spoke to me:

"I think seeing the Episode II title for the first time is a lot like seeing a girl without her pants on for the first time. At first, you're like, huh? What the...? But then you start to like it."

What the hell was that Jedi1212guy? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day! and I thought I was strange!

No one here is guilty of "blind defence" and I don't like every idea that George Lucas has. Personally I don't want to see Boba Fett in the prequels and if Lucas doesn't kill off Amidala in Episode 3 then it will ruin the entire story for me.

I don;t think anyone around here actually IS blindly defending; Texas implied we were.
But it is a phenomenon we should be careful of. People are attacking the cricits rather than defending the film. A VERY bad situation to be in.

What's so bad about that? Are they going to come round my house and beat me up?

If they are I'm ready for them! 😠 Armed with water balloons and plenty of cash to bribe them.

Ush here is a perfect example of why I hate critics - Do you know the show "Late Review" on BBC2. For anyone who hasn't it is four critics sitting round a table talking about films and music or whatever is being released that week. Anyway just before TPM was released here they were doing there last show before a summer break and they were talking about what they were looking forward to seeing during the summer.

This blonde critic said "Well I'm not looking forward to Star Wars because we all know what a big turkey that is going to be". I promise you that was her exact words. She hadn't even seen the film!!!!!!!! It wasn't released yet but she'd already decided that it was going to be a turkey!!!!! Of course the other 3 critics had a giggle but it made me sick. Their "we are two good for Star Wars attitude" is typical of most critics.

I'll concede that newspaper critics and magazines like Empire aren't like this though.

Obviously there are bad critics and good critics...

It is a bad situation in that it makes the would-be defender look bad. Offence is not the best defence in situations like this.

If I am trying to defend SW to a non-fan, and I attack it's critics rather than defending the film itself, I will convince no-one.

You see what Lucas has caused? Attack of the Clones is tearing this board apart!.......I'm so dramatic 😉

To be honest, it was about time there was a piece of major news to talk over...
