You would have destroyed your credibility with this statement, except that you never had any to begin with.

you're a goddamn idiot

10/14/2007 12:00:40 PM

hey, phantom menace is indeed the best of the series, i know its hard to imagine but
if you look closely it has the best graphics, story, adventure, suspense
the only reason it got a bad rap was cause of too much hype....

10/14/2007 12:35:23 PM

Empire Strikes Back was the best one.

I mean I like RP and all, but no.

If Anakin = George W, then that means that Dubya will eventually redeem himself and save the United States by singlehandedly destroying the ultimate evil when it appears that all hope is lost. For some reason, I don't quite see that happening.

As for Maximus = Ron Paul, no.

So you see the puppy was like industry in that they were both lost in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy - society – knew where to find him. Except that the puppy was a dog, but the industry, my friends – that was a revolution.

Soviets = Klingons
Americans = Federation

Quote :

"TUC is an allegory for the fall of communism in Eastern Europe circa 1990 and the recent peace movement which was happening while the film was being made (the Soviet Union itself had not yet dissolved during the filming or even at the film’s release). An apt reference is made by Spock, when he confronts Kirk’s apprehension of dealing with the Klingons, by quoting what he refers to as a “Vulcan proverb”: “Only Nixon could go to China.” According to the movie, the Federation and the Klingons have been engaged in a cold war for seventy years (as portrayed in the episode “Errand of Mercy” in the original series). TUC’s portrayal of the explosion of Praxis resembled the Chernobyl Accident which was one of the largest embarrassments of the Soviet Union and shed a bright light on how quickly the Soviet system was decaying. In the movie, there is a plot to end the peace movement by removing the leaders. This somewhat resembled the attempted coup d’état against Gorbachev in the summer of 1991 to stop his movement toward the formation of a more federal and less centralized Soviet Union. Kirk's statement, that “some people think the future means the end of history. Well, we haven’t run out of history just yet.” is a reference to Francis Fukuyama’s essay “The End of History” (1990), which interpreted the fall of Communism as the triumph of liberal democracy, and thus the end of history. During the dinner on board the Enterprise, the two sides debate about the loss of Klingon culture, which some in Eastern Europe feared with the “invasion” of Western culture as a result of the fall of the Berlin Wall. By far, the major theme of TUC is the idea of overcoming one’s own prejudice. In the film, many characters on both sides must face the fact that peace has come and they must learn to accept one another. This is most evident with Kirk who struggles morally because of the conflict between his duty to his personal code of ethics and his difficulty in dealing with the loss of his son. Chancellor Gorkon reminds Kirk of this when leaving the Enterprise saying, "If there is to be a brave new world, our generation is going to have the hardest time living in it," echoing the fact that the politicians and servicemen who fought the hardest during the Cold War ironically had the most difficult time adjusting to its ending. The film’s dialogue contains an enormous number of historical and cultural references. These include many lines of Shakespeare (most of which are quoted by Chang). During Captain Kirk’s trial, General Chang (Christopher Plummer) asks Kirk a question and then shouts, “Don’t wait for the translation, answer me now!” This is a reference to U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson’s confrontation at the United Nations with Soviet Ambassador Valerian Zorin over Cuban missile bases during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Plummer uses the exact same line nine years later in the TNT television miniseries Nuremberg while his character, Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe, is cross-examining Nazi Hermann Göring. The character of Colonel West (Rene Auberjonois) was an inside joke reference to a real United States Marine officer: Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North. The West character was omitted from the original theatrical release of the film, and reinserted when the film went to video."

um no. probably my least favorite. graphics were great for the year they came out but so were the old ones = null point. the story, adventure, and suspense was terrible in this one compared to the old ones and the acting was horrific.

worst of the six movies

10/18/2007 8:35:20 AM

attack of the clones was the worst. very worst acting + stupid, forced love story.

10/18/2007 1:33:01 PM

i suppose. the only one of hte original three that moderately did the series justice was episode III

I swear Bush really is trying to get WWIII rolling before leaving office. I can see it now; democrats lead in the polls but all of a sudden 2 months before election WW3 breaks out. With a state of emergency existing the president acts to assert control and declare temporary emergency powers to continue on his term....
