Sure, I'd love a sandwich, Gir.

Here ya go, moosie!

Moosie my friend.

*takes sandwich*
All of a sudden I feel like an animal at the zoo.

Mmm . . . Peanut butter!

It's all nice and squishy. I was sitting on it!

::looks around, clear throat loudly:: I think that if LOTR hadn't cut out so much(and I think it cut out too much), it would've been 4 or 5 hours long.
As for Star Wars: The last half an hour or so of that movie was awesome, I wanna see it again. Unfortunately, one of the previews out there shows most of a very good scene, which is a spoiler, I think. I didn't see it until I after I saw the movie, though.

I've got to say I disagree (re: cuts to LOTR). I think if you look at what was cut, very little of it detracts from the main story. I think if Tolkien were writing now, an editor would tell him to cut out a lot of the Farmer Maggot and Tom Bombadil stuff, which were the main things taken out in the movie.

I enjoyed the movie as a completely different work than the book. If the book had been written the same as the movie (no Tom Bombadil, sketchy account of elves) I wouldn't have even finished Fellowship of the Ring, let alone the rest.

Yes, but it changed the feel of the movie; The movie seemed to go straight from one fight on to the next.

Star Wars looked pretty good on the digital screen. Dialogue was crap, but hell, we certainly expect that from Lucas, who seems these days to be trying to win the fuck-you-fans award. What was worse was some of the editing -- there was actually some decent meat in the story that just got squashed by the hyperboles that always followed.

High point: animation of Yoda's face
Low point: cartoon-esque stopped crescendo in soap opera "torment" scene between Anakin and Padme

what I really hated in the orginal star wars movie was the last scene from the last movie where it shows owan and yoda taking about how their was still two more with the force. It lead me to believe that there was going to be another movie.
