Even before Odd Todd sees and reviews Star Wars, Episode II, I'd like to warn him that George Lucas is a weenie. Only he can make Samuel L. Jackson look.... somehow, less badass.

U R SO RIGHT. LUCaS IS weenified SAM L JACKSN! I DON"T KNOW WHY NOONE HAS EVER EVEN MENtioned that!

Holy Shit! This thread might just win that elusive 'Most time passed between posts' award. 3 1/2 years?!?! Nice!

just in time for the DVD release of eps.III.
sO is there anyone else in the "OddhOuse" thats gonna
by it?

Why buy it when you know a "special edition" will surely come out not long after?

www.thedivinesatire.com See what the controversy is all about!

Sure, Episode III was the best of first three (or second three, well, you know what I mean). But... all the laser battles, light-saber fighting with Yoda jumping around like Mary Lou Retton - it's like we were babies, and Georgie Lucas was trying to impress us (or distract us) by metaphorically jingling car keys in our face.

'Special Edition'? Eh - Do I really want extended scenes of wooden acting by Hayden Christensen? Or see Wookies on a blue screen? Pass.

Quoteth Butthead (while watching an old 'A-ha' video): "These effects aren't so special."

People who say George Lucas is a weenie . . . .well all I can say is maybe he's a weenie, but he's a rich one. 

And since we're into calling people weenies, I'd like to say Bill Gates is a weenie too. Just felt like saying it.  I don't know that he is actually a weenie, but that's what the masses say right?  The guy's got more money than I'll ever make in a million years.  Lucas too.  So they both must be weenies. 

Lemme see, well, George Lucas is a weenie because . . . . he had a great idea and that became a movie, and people went to see it, enjoyed it, bought the action figures, dressed up like the characters, and . . . made him loads and loads of money. 

Bill Gates invented the Windows Operating System which was revolutionary.  There was a time when he was a geeky doofus that the other kids in school probably called a nerd.  Now that nerd may well still be a nerd, but he's got so much money that he's giving it away because he'll never be able to spend it on his own. 

Yeah, some dude on a message board calls George Lucas a weenie.  If calling George Lucas a weenie were a novel idea maybe you'd get a lot of money or be famous for saying it, but it's a dime store observation.   Everyone and his brother can say the same thing.  Basically it doesn't mean a Hell of a lot. Maybe he's a fucking asshole for all I know, but he has more creativity in his left thumb than the guy that began this thread like 2 years ago. 

Now you may go back to calling George a weeny . . . or is it weenie?? 

I'd go pay to have the original three movies 'unimprovified,' existing in their original glory. I don't know if that is possible, though. Maybe the film is too old.

Old Yoda is excellent.

Another observation: Use this trick too often the newer movies have.

Old Yoda actually had some sentences where his sentence structure was normal for modern English. It was THAT which made the inversion trick cool.
