Watched Star Wars Episode II today, and it still holds up. As long as you can deal with some wooden acting and cringy dialogue, it's a damn fun movie, and while some of the scenes and locations look a lot more "artificial" and blatantly CGI than I remembered them, many of the action scenes and big set pieces are still spectacular, and there's a lot of genuine eye-candy to behold. Moreover, stuff like Anakin's authoritarian bent and his desperate desire to prevent his loved ones from dying (even dreaming of overcoming death itself) does a better job than I remembered of setting up his eventual fall in Revenge of the Sith.

...not to mention that Anakin's social awkwardness and somewhat off-putting demeanor makes a lot more sense when you remember that the boy spent the first half of his life as a slave owned by a Space Jew, and the second half of his life being bossed around by a bunch of celibate warrior monks who both revere and fear him, and who split the difference by not nearly giving him the credit he deserves.

Why is it, that Liberals make 20 times more butt-fucking jokes about gays, then live and let live conservativs?

Really makes you wonder...

@michal Nobody needs it. Only some people want to have power over the others. They're mentally ill and we should treat them like it.
