I just bought 11 tickets for opening day (no, I'm only using two of them).

Yes, I'm ready for it.

Looks pretty good. I myself am waiting to see Anakin slaughtering the Jedi kids like Sandpeople (which is what I hear earns it the PG-13).

Its an automated robot. Based on Science!

well, anyone here in the east, I still have a single unclaimed ticket for the midnight showing at the uptown.

That's right, the very first showing available to the general public on the planet. Come with me to hopefully see George Lucas redeem himself.

2 new TV spots online:

Seduction

To Protect You

That music video that was posted is part of the bonus DVD that comes with the soundtrack. I'd recommend getting it for the DVD alone. It's a great piece of work showing off the entire saga.

Haven't heard the buzz on this DVD?  So what is the buzz, what's on the DVD?

Big Fanboy posted a review Scott Kurtz called "honest." While I won't necessarily disagree with the adjective, I will say "stilted" applies more. For someone who complains about scenes being removed (may very well be a valid complaint, I'll let you know at about 3AM-ish on May 19th, that'll be 1AM for you Utahns) he certainly seemed to excise some random sentences from his review.

A couple of the complaints sound like fanboy whining forgetting what the series is about. For example, he complains of some limited random goofiness, but I'm not sure what else he thought lines like "I don't care what you smell, get down there" and "Everything's fine here. We're all fine here. How are you?" were. a little bit of goofiness is to be expected and enjoyed with these films. Just not omnipresent.

But then, some of the compliments were also fanboyish, such as R2's parts being "very cool." So perhaps honest was a good adjective for the review. You discount the blatant fanboy speak (it IS "bigfanboy.com" afterall) and you still have a positive review that keeps from gushing and admits to the lacking pieces.

I'm still incredibly psyched. Less than 206 hours...

Kurtz loses credibility points by then proclaiming that he WANTS to see the Dukes of Hazzard travesty I mean, movie.

You can't condemn it until you've seen it, Fuzzy. Nor can we, in my opinion, idealize something that so cheerfully resists respectability.

(Though to be honest, I expect it to be terrible as well. I'm just reserving judgment.)

I just browsed through the rottentomatoes quotes, and one of the bad reviews condemns it for being an "anti-Bush diatribe." I think it's safe to say that that reviewer probably sees everything as an anti-Bush diatribe of some sort.

However, just because it's scott Kurtz, and I don't particularly like his personality, I *can* condemn HIM for being more excited about the Dukes of Hazzard than for Revenge of the Sith.
