1. Star Wars: The phantom Menace
if it wasn't for Darth Maul, that story woulda suked ass, the pod-races woulda helped a little, but my main attraction to the movie was Darth Maul, he 0wnz 4ll u punkz aszes!

2.this came up today from someone i work with.. wouldn't it be cool if gas pumpers got free gas, but still paid the same(duh)..
it would that job easier on the managers to find employees... i say like someone whose worked there for 5 years or more should be given free gas... any comments?

3. FINAL FANTASY : the spirits within...
i went to see A Knights Tale(not a bad movie, knida corny) anyways i saw a new preview for that FF movie which i haven't seen yet..WTF? MAN THIS MOVE IS GOING TO BE NUTZO!! and some of you might know already, or not, i dunno, that kind of "imagination/fantasy/story/fiction/whutever" that japanese guy writes and creates, i love it , my favortie... so i'm unna luv dis movie!

i also saw a preview for Jurassic Park 3... that movie looks like it's gonna be good, or worse than The Lost World.. but i decided it's gonna be a sweet movie.. well the second one was sooo cheesy, i hope to god they atleast put some good thought int0o the third one... plus Sam Neil(i think that's his name) is in it, and he's a good actor i think....

On the phantom menace I think they tried too hard to tie it into the other movies. It really didn't follow a decent timeline. One of the blaring inconsistencies was Anakin being the inventor and builder of C3PO. So he built a robot at 12 years old it is a fantasy movie so big deal? Hell yes big deal in the first (oldest) star wars movie that same exact robot is owned by his daughter. He didn't even know her. It must have been a family heirloom. And by the way in the future those robots are everywhere. Old Darth Vader must have made a killing on the patent rights. For royalty Princess Leah was pretty poor since she was using a 30 year old robot. You think she could afford a new one.
Oh well a little geek slipped out. With the methodical mind of George Lucas I can only guess some executive made them add C3PO to the movie. I am sure Lucas did not screw up that bad in his script.

JP3...

I doubt one will find any hardcore plot lines which draw you in. What you will find though will be people dying, and awesome computer animations (I would hope). Be prepared for what the Jurassic Park movies are about. Dark nights with scary Dinos attacking women and small children. http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/smile.gif

As for the rest of this thread...I have no comment on anything else. I feel like Switzerland.

<FONT COLOR="Red">(puts on the geek trivia hat)

OK, The convoluted star wars chronology as I understand it.

3PO was built by Anakin, modeled on the standard protocol droids framework. That being so, he was not unique at all. Remember the scene with all the Artoo units on the Naboo fighter making repairs to the sheild generator? There are literally TONS of droids running about, so that takes care of that.

Now, as far as 3PO not knowing Leia in any way, the are ways to block access to memories, or just rip them from a droid. Sorta like the holo-meesage Artoo had for Obi Wan that Luke stumbled onto when taking off the restraing bolt left by the Jawas.

And as I have come to understand, the whole saga is suppossed to be nothing but one long story being re-told by Artoo and 3PO at the end of it, if an end every comes. Keeping in mind that there are a shitload of books that take place after Return of the Jedi.

And sorry guys, Darth Maul was a Sith polesmoker, a wussy, anncyboy... whatever derogatory term you can think of, he is it. All that training, all those skills, and he only kills 1 Jedi? WTF kind of shit is that? Wanna know what kind? It's Bullshit. That's what kind it is. Hell, i have more respect for the Rancor that Jabba kept as a pet.

/me puts the Geek Trivia Hat next to the storytellers cap, but has a feeling that it will be the less worn of the 2. </FONT c>
