Sweetheart, you referring to TPMand ATOC as "dire" is silly. As I stated before, the majority of the movie going public doesnt sit around like the rest of us geeks fine combing everything out of a film. They go and if they are entertained, thats all that matters to them. EVERY single Star Wars movie was entertaining the the MAJORITY tof the public. Definitely NOT to the "geekdom" but to the public they were. THe amount of money they hauled in provides the proof.

Akiera gazed through the thick trees, her eyes sparkling like diamonds in the pitch black forrest. Her feet moved, carrying her through the underbrush, but they never made a sound. Her sharp vision pierced the night like an arrow.
Walking forward, a rancid small filled the air. Making the elf's eyes water, and her nose to run. The ground beneath her feet became unstable, her feet sinking into the gooze below.
The trees parted, revealing the vast reaches of a dark marsh. It's misty vapors reached towards the sky above, blocking out any traces of the sun above, making the entire area almost as dark as the forest had been.
Despite her better instincts, Akiera stepped boldly into the first rancid pool of the marsh, tenticles of mud reaching into her boots made of bark. Lifting up one foot at a time, she managed to make it ten feet without loosing her boots altogether. Her nose crinkled as a stream of vapor drifted over her.
Standing up tall, the elf reasurred herself that this was for the best. Focusing her vision on a slight red glow ahead, Akiera pushed on. Her eyes lighting the way ahead of her.
Suddenly, a sharp wailing filled the air, it's solemn cadence drifting up and down, washing over the elf like an ocean wave. Her hand flew to her bow, quickly stringing an arrow, but she knew it wouldn't work. What was ahead of her was nothing that could be touched. Nothing that could be seen. What was ahead could only be felt, could only be heard.
A shiver ran up the brave elf's spine as another painstaking wail drifted through the silent marsh.
Focusing on the glow, Akiera tried her best to ignore the wailing, going cross eyed with concentration, but the wailing only got louder, calling her name. The sound drifted towards her, no. . .through her. Chilling her to the very bone.
Suddenly the elf found she was no longer in control, her legs moving in a completely different direction from the guiding orange glow. Now she was lead by a different light, eerily white, floating gently above the oozing pools.
Akiera walked on, her mind numbed with the sound of the wailing, her sight filled with the eerie lights and their menacing glance. She put one foot in front of the other, ignoring the creatures swimming around her ankles, ignoring their warning buzz.
Suddenly the elf found herself falling, falling into a never ending pool of mud. A dark barrier forming itself around her. She opened her mouth to breath, but it only filled with the rancid fluid. . .opened her eyes to see, but only saw a mixture of green and brown, the very mixture that had swallowed her whole. . .

Been thinking about you
Your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one
And you're my star
What do you care?
Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When the other men are far far better
All the things you've got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes
Who bribed the company to come and see you honey?
I've been thinking about you
So how can you sleep
These people aren't your friends
They're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know
And why should you care
When I'm not there
Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When the other men are far far better
All the things you've got
She'll never need
All the things you've got
I've bled and I'd bleed to please you
Been thinking about you..
