Obligatory Ep III Post

Fuck you, Lucas. You call yourself a director? How could you look at half of that footage and say, 'Yes! That's the take we want!' What kind of scary autistic universe do you live in where people talking like that looks normal? You wasted so much potential in that movie. I can forgive, somewhat, not living up to my hopes. Artist differences and all that. But to have potential there, in the concept, the universe, the actors and (sometimes) the script, and just not caring enough to get that extra take or spend the extra time editing a scene until it clicks? No mercy. Call yourself a storyteller, maybe. Or a moviemaker. Or a fucking hack. But you don't get to claim to be a director. You have given up that right.

(Less ranty: You know what would have been really cool? If Padme had been carrying triplets. That would have been wonderfully headbreaky.)
