Battle of the Heroes is the greatest duel ever seen on film. I totally agree about the CG, though; too much, man! Hold back on that, Georgie boy. Anyway, Episode III also had the coolest space thing too (Battle over Coruscant). Well, Endor's better, but definitely the best PT one. And one more thing, if you want to laugh your ass off, go to youtube and type in 'George Lucas Lord of the Rings'. You might wet yourself laughing so hard, but only if you're an SW fan, and especially if you've ever watched the PT making of docs on the DVDs.

You mean the fight with Anakin and Obi Wan? meh, that fight was all hype and no substance, the fight Yoda had which was intercut with it was better, and I hate it when Yoda fights as he's the one character powerful enough to have never needed to, ugh, the prequels get on my nerves messing with my favourite character like that. :blink:

Anyway, with the last two prequels Lucas managed to turn special effects into not so special ones, since if they're in every single frame they just become normal. <_<

Thats still not funny. They're not called special-effects because they're 'special' like that, like not normal, they're special-effects because they're extra things not shot in-camera, savvy? I'm sure you knew that anyway, but still, I hate when people say that. Anyway, Battle of the Heroes had more substance than any other fight in the saga, except maybe the final Father vs. Son duel in ROTJ. These are two brothers trying to kill each other, one who was betrayed and one who is so conflicted with himself that he nearly killed his own wife in rage. You just can't say that that fight had no substance, because it did. The Yoda-Palpy fight was good, but at the same time, I really wanted just straight-up Anakin vs. Obi-Wan. Plus, Battle of the Heroes is one of the best SW songs, and THE best duel song, followed by Duel of the Fates, then Father vs. Son, then Through the Window.

Since when is Hayden a good actor?

:laugh: Yeah, a lot of females seem to like him because they think he's hot, although I never really found him attractive, for some reason, so he never had that hold over me, and I'll agree, he always seems like he's thinking about something else and not what his character's doing.

Steven
 
Hook was a Scrooge-like character? I can see that, although being more evil is a pretty good twist on that

Seriously, it was awesome! The vision of the future had him dead and Peter Pan not even remembering him, so he figured the only way to prevent that was to become even more evil and vengeful so he would be victorious over Peter. :laugh: It was great. :)

Steven
 
Todays Xena was the one with Gabrielle dressed like Indy, I remembered that one which is always something when I remember an episode, that was kind of fun apart from the clips of other episodes, I don't know why but I never like it when shows do that with clips.

Ooh, I agree, I like that episode. Xena's one of the few shows that when they have clip shows they actually put some effort into the parts that aren't old clips that tie everything together, and I agree the Indy parts are cool, but the clips do get annoying. *sigh* It's the same with the episode where Gabrielle goes to the temple of... meh, I forget her name... mnemose, or something like that... goddess of memory, anyway. Well, anyway, that one's also a clip show, and the clips are really annoying, but the rest of that episode is really fun. *sigh* At least on the DVDs I can fast forward through the clips. :laugh:

the actors never look right against the total CGI backdrops

Wolfarcher
 
I totally agree about the CG, though; too much, man! Hold back on that, Georgie boy.

Seriously! Ugh. For one thing they never look right and it makes the entire thing look like a cartoon. One of the reasons I loved the original trilogy so much when I saw it was it was one of the only sci fi movies I had seen up to that point that actually looked real, and the prequels completely blew that. Not only that, but because of the CGI technology allowing Lucas to make billions of droids that move perfectly and can do things that an actual person or puppet cannot, the prequels looked more technologically advanced than the original movies, which is so stupid, they took place earlier! Grrrrrrrrrr. It was like technology retreated one hundred years between the time of RotS and ANH. They should have tried to make the technology seem less advanced in the prequels.

I didn't mean the motivation behind the fight, I meant the fight itself, it just looked stupid and there wasn't any momentum to it all, probably because of it being intercut with the Yoda fight so much, but they just seemed to appear in some random place and keep swinging their lightsabers at each other, after such build up there wasn't any real pay off, especially with the way the fight ended, the whole film disappointed me.

That's cool, there's no way of being forgotten if he becomes even more evil, although becoming more evil may be what gets him killed, he should have maybe thought of that a little more, but a super evil Hook is definitely something I'd like to see, he's bad enough anyway, trying to kill small children makes him one evil man, so even more evil, that'd be fun. :D

The bits where Joxer was going into clip mode were funny, but the other bits got a bit boring, I wanted to see more of the episode and less clips, even if I couldn't remember most of the episodes the clips were from so I was finding out stuff, at least it wasn't as bad as when other shows do that, like Simpsons, if there's a clip show of that on I'll not watch it, I hate them. :blink: You forgot the name of the goddess of memory? that's got to be a pain. :laugh: It's good you can skip through the clips, so you can spend more time enjoying it and less time waiting for the good bits again. :D

A series should look like one complete whole, the prequels look so unlike the original trilogy that they don't seem like they're part of the same series, and the puppets gave the originals a lot of charm, effects just look cold, which doesn't help when you have a cast of actors playing it as bland as possible, the original films weren't so good for acting but they were having fun and that's part of why they're fun to watch, the prequels, they don't seem to be having fun at all, they look bored for most of it, I guess that's the problem with the two, originals no one knew how big it was going to be, the prequels, they're walking into a corporation and they're taking it seriously which is why it's so hard to like so much of it. :mellow:

Yeah, it would be cool, although in the next episode he really didn't seem any more evil, and that episode just kind of ended with him doing the villain evil laugh, so meh. It was still a good episode, though. :yes: Especially the vision of the future where Peter had forgotten who Hook was. That was funny. :laugh:

The bits where Joxer was going into clip mode were funny

I like it when he finally reveals that he's not French, that was funny. Poor guy. Ooh, and when his... grandson?... took the Xena Scrolls to Rob Tapert. :laugh: That was funny. Poor guy, wanted to pitch a show about Joxer. Oh well.

My Steven
 
like Simpsons, if there's a clip show of that on I'll not watch it, I hate them.

Yeah, those are a pain, although I did like the ending of one of them because it had a song and it was something like.

Have no fears, we've got stories for years, like,
Marge becomes a robot,
Maybe Moe gets a cell phone,
Has Bart ever owned a bear or,
How 'bout a crazy wedding,
Where something happens,
Do do do do do do.
Sorry for the clip show!
Have no fears, we've got stories for years.
That may not be exactly right, but that "sorry for the clip show" line always makes me laugh. :lol:

Oh, old cartoons and even modern ones don't change things too much, no matter what happens everything reverts back to normal by the end of it and things are rarely ever mentioned again, if Hook did become more evil then it'd mess continuity when they randomly show the series in no order over and over again, I can't think of many cartoons which have had big changes, there was the last seasons of Transformers since the movie killed almost everyone so most of the characters were different for those ones, and there's South Park when they killed Kenny for good... for a while anyway, but other cartoons don't seem to get any further.

He did a pretty good French accent, a good one for being funny with anyway, and his salesman accent was funny too, I don't know why but I laughed at both his voices, shame he didn't get the Joxer show made though, I'd watch that if it happened. :lol:

I think I saw that one, I don't really see Simpsons too much now, it's either ones I've seen loads of times so don't want to bother really or the new ones which come on so randomly I miss them, I want to see it when it goes 24 though, there's supposed to be a bit coming with Jack and Chloe, that'll be funny, or should be, you seen the stuff for the movie? everything I've seen has been really stupid and unfunny slapstick stuff with Homer being hurt, I hope the film turns out better than that, it's been too long coming to be bad. :mellow:

Yeah, it's pretty rare. I guess Maude died on The Simpsons, lol. It doesn't really matter, though. As long as the episode's a good, self contained thing it's fine. :)

He did do a great job at both accents, much better than I can do, I've tried, and it sounds really pathetic. :( :laugh: In the episode Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire he did this sort of Spanish accent, and that one was really good, too. I wish I could do that. Oh well. :)

Hehe, I'd probably watch a Joxer show, too. It could be like Inspector Gadget where the main character's really inept and bumbling but has a sidekick that's the real brains of the operation and figures everything out. :)

I usually see the new episodes on Sunday nights, other than that I don't watch too much of it, I've seen all the old episodes about a million times, not much point in seeing them more.

Offhand the only movie advertisement I really remember was Homer being on a wrecking ball and he kept bouncing back and forth between a rock and a hard place and he got squished every time. It was funny, but not really indicative of the movie, I would imagine. Who knows. If it's bad, that'll be sad, because people have been anticipating it for so long, although I wouldn't really be surprised if it's bad, we'll see. :)

Alright, the whole technology thing is way too EU for on here, its just going to be confusing, but the most blunt, naked, easy way to put it is that the Empire destroyed the Trade Federation and tons of foundries and weapons-manufacturing places so that there would be no one to supply any opposition, hence the crappy technology the Rebels have. And, as we can see, the Empire still has the biggest, baddest toys.

Maude never really stood out like the other characters do, so even though they did kill her it's not like she's really noticed if she's there or not, even after her death, but things never really continue into the next episode, South Park gets destroyed almost every week, and the Drawn Together people get killed a lot, it's probably best things don't continue then. :wild1:

Accents can be really hard to do, I can do some accents sometimes, but it's not important to do them, and I'm sure you sound good when trying to them, even if you don't get them quite right, my Tomby could never sound bad. :wub: A Spanish accent? wow, he did a lot of voices on the show.

That'd be funny, I'm not sure who would be a sidekick for him though, since there's not many who would be willing to do that, most would have him as the sidekick, so it'd have to be someone who thinks he's better than them, yeah, that would be a problem.

New ones are on Sundays here as well, it's just they pick really random weeks to show new ones so I don't always know, I never know since I haven't seen a new one in over a year, it's sad. :(

That's the last clip I saw of it, I saw a preview clip of him being attacked by wolves as well, nothing is making me want to see it, although I'll go anyway no matter how bad it looks, just because, maybe if they showed something without Homer it might look funny, something with actual jokes and not just him getting hurt which isn't too funny really.

If they were going to do that then you'd expect them to get a massive order of weapons and ships made first, then put them in some secret hiding place for if they ever needed to use them, the ships the Empire have don't look as advanced as the ones in the prequels, if they did blow up all weapons factories and then think "oh, we needed some of those weapons" then that makes them seem a bit stupid really, and I don't like to think of the Empire as being stupid.

You can talk about the expanded universe on here, that's fine, I'm a big Star Wars fan (although, really, much more the originals than the prequels). But, even if they destroyed the Trade Federation's manufacturing plants that doesn't mean that the knowledge of how to make all that technology would be destroyed. It makes sense that the Rebels wouldn't necessarily have the best technology, if for nothing else than they probably don't have the funds that the Empire does (although, presumably they would be backed by people like the Organas who are rich, so maybe they have more money than they're letting on, lol). But, like you say, the Empire had the best technology around, they made a Death Star, they advanced technology, so why did the droid technology go from a droideka

http://www.geocities.jp/thewhillsarchives/...mg_droideka.jpg

to a mouse droid

Posted Image?

I mean, really, Lucas or any of the fans can come up for any excuse for it they want, it still doesn't explain it or make the flow of the films seem right, even with the "special editions" of the original trilogy. The fact is computer effects advanced in the time between the release of Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace, George Lucas is obsessed with putting as many special effects in his movies as possible and has no self control, so he can't stop himself from putting the technology in the movies, and then people try to justify why the prequels look more technologically advanced while no amount of justifying can account for that much of a difference.

Oh gosh, Drawn Together has no continuity, lol. And it is amazing how many times Kenny has come back to life. :laugh: Today I was watching King of the Hill and I was thinking about this conversation we were having, and I was thinking about how on that show Nancy and John Redcorn stopped having an affair, and that has stayed true ever since they stopped, at least that's one thing. :) That show's better than others for continuity, though. Like after Luanne quit beauty school they kept her not in beauty school, and after she moved across the street they kept her out of the house. At least there's one cartoon that tries to remember the things that happen from one episode to the next (even though it's not perfect). :laugh:

Joxer the Mighty
Roams through the countryside.
He never needs a place to hide.
With Tomby as his sidekick.
Fighting with her little stick.


Although, I don't really want to fight... I'll just push Joxer towards the badguys and then be a nurse to him when he inevitably gets hurt. :laugh:

Lucas was like a kid creating a toyshop, he was trying to make the best toys and not thinking about how the designs would match the originals, and after creating all the stuff he had no idea what to do with most of it, a good example of that would be Grevious, design wise he rocked, a four armed lightsaber wielding cyborg, but when it came to the movie he ran away a few times before getting shot in the heart, it was all about the designs and which would make the coolest toys, continuity was totally forgotten about, as was how to make a fun film. :rolleyes:

I've seen a few Drawn Together's where they all die or end up in prison or something, limbs have been hacked off and various other things have happened which make continuity impossible, but there is some around Kenny for some reason, like in one episode he died and his girlfriend brought him back, then he blew up in the next episode because he was trying not to fart in front of her, and I remember in one episode Kenny's mum gave birth to a little Kenny and his dad asked how many that was and the number was about 200 or something. :laugh: Ooh, I haven't seen King of the Hill in years, I saw the first few seasons and then it switched channels and times a few times, I lost track of it but that was funny, with the propane and propane accessories. :(

You got a good theme song there, and I couldn't see my Tomby fighting, that's kind of mean and I wouldn't want you to get hurt or anything, you can do the crime solving and let Joxer take credit for your hard work, he can do the fighting, he's always got a weapon to be broken or taken away so he'd do ok. :lol:

It's been forever coming so it'd be weird to wait that long and then not go, even if it doesn't seem very good, I got the same thing with Transformers although I've been waiting a lot longer for that and I have more faith in it being good than a Simpsons movie. :blink:

Yes, in Drawn Together they'll give Captain Hero extra arms or rip off Clara's scalp and then have absolutely no mention of it ever again. :laugh: Well, it's not exactly a realistic show, so I don't mind. :) Haha, they had the number of Kennys? That's awesome. :yes: Poor Kenny, he just has no luck when it comes to staying alive. Although, in the new season he doesn't seem to be dying so much. Ah, well. You can only have him die so many times, I guess. :laugh: Ooh, I love King of the Hill. I watch it every weekday. :yes: Hehe, yes, it's all about the propane and the propane accessories. :yes: What's funny is I'm more of a charcoal grill person myself... Hank would probably hate me. :laugh: Kind of a bad thing about it, though. In the show when Cotton named his second son Good Hank, Hank said it would make people think he was Bad Hank, and then Cotton called him BH. Now, when my mom wants to tease me she'll call me B(My first initial). *sigh*

Don't worry, I won't fight, so I won't get hurt, and I'll be all healthy for my Steven! :heart: For being a complete klutz Joxer seems to do fairly well in the fights, too, so I wouldn't worry about him too much... although he did ultimately die from being stabbed... I guess he didn't do that well. :laugh:

Yeah, I remember when I first heard about a Simpsons movie I was really excited and wanted to see it, but that was years ago, and the excitement has waned, as has the quality of the show, so I'm not so excited about it now. If it looks good I'll go see it, but if not then I probably won't, even though I have stood by the show, even now when not so many people seem to be watching it, I'm even watching it right now, lol.

I watch it every weekday. :yes: Hehe, yes, it's all about the propane and the propane accessories. :yes: What's funny is I'm more of a charcoal grill person myself... Hank would probably hate me. :laugh: Kind of a bad thing about it, though. In the show when Cotton named his second son Good Hank, Hank said it would make people think he was Bad Hank, and then Cotton called him BH. Now, when my mom wants to tease me she'll call me B(My first initial). *sigh*

I've seen a few Drawn Togethers which end with everyone being shot dead or something, but the last episode joked about how stupid the endings are so at least the makers are honest. :lol: Yes, it's going to bother me until I remember which episode it was as that's the only explaination for why Kenny can die and come back so much, but t's good he's not dying so much now, he's too cool to die every week, someone else can die instead. :laugh: Aww, Hank wouldn't hate you, no one could hate you, maybe he'd try to convert you to propane for a while and then just give up and enjoy the food, seems more of a Hank thing to do. You get teased? oh, that can be awful when that happens, even worse when it's parents as they never give up, but at least it's just a first initial, there's worse things to teased over, I've had problems with a variation on initials, I have a funny story about that as well, although I wouldn't post it here since I don't want to tell everyone and it involves more name information than I usually give, maybe some other time in a more private setting if I can face the embarassment.

Don't worry, I won't fight, so I won't get hurt, and I'll be all healthy for my Steven! :heart: For being a complete klutz Joxer seems to do fairly well in the fights, too, so I wouldn't worry about him too much... although he did ultimately die from being stabbed... I guess he didn't do that well.

That's good as I want you to be safe, but if you did get hurt I'd help you get better again, I have to do my best to make sure my Tomby is well. :wub: Oh, I can't remember seeing Joxer die, maybe I didn't see it or I did and I just don't remember with so much of memory for a certain time period being non-existant, he did well to survive as long as he did though, he was lucky, for a guy with no real fighting skills to have survived so many fights then that's a whole lot of luck for someone to have.

Yeah, I remember when I first heard about a Simpsons movie I was really excited and wanted to see it, but that was years ago, and the excitement has waned, as has the quality of the show, so I'm not so excited about it now. If it looks good I'll go see it, but if not then I probably won't, even though I have stood by the show, even now when not so many people seem to be watching it, I'm even watching it right now, lol.

The show's been going a long time, 16 or more years, I haven't been watching it for that long, I saw some on tape in the early 90's but it must have been around 96 that I started getting to see it properly, but if they're doing big screen style animation then I'd imagine they'd try to put more effort into the script, even if nothing so far has suggested that, but I remember a while back seeing about how after a film the show will end so I wonder if that's going to stay, it'd be sad to see it end, even if it isn't as funny now.
