[movie] Star Wars

In the year 1977 when the evil British Empire invades the moon, only one talking carpet stands in their way! This talking carpet is the man you have come to know and love: Harrison Ford.

Having heard much hype about this so-called “Star Wars” I was very disappointed after having finally seen it over the past weekend.  I’m usually all about Brits and talking carpets, but after seeing this film, I was angered - perhaps even enraged - at the justice done to them in this film.  What started out as a happy-go-lucky love romp between a crazy old hippie and his young hipster life partner quickly turned into a downward spiral as the poorly portrayed British commenced a surprise attack on their platonic moonbase, only to be defeated by a horde of flying monkies!  Flying monkies!  Absurd!

And that is only the least bit of the problems with this film!  The sound quality was horrendous, feeling like it was recorded on an Easy Bake Oven, and the writing was just as wretched!  I mean, when the people of the South had to start eating cotton mixed wtih tobacco to fend of not starvation like a sane man, but Laser Quills, I felt a typhoon well up in my stomach.  Which, subsequently, destroyed lower Los Angeles.

In conclusion, I give “Star Wars” nine thumbs down.

apparently, it’s been a while since I saw the movie.

wow i don’t remeber anything about talking carpets or flying monkeys in star wars… apparently i haven’t seen it in a while either. i also say this because i thought it was really good. but i guess since one person in the world didn’t like it i was wrong. dead wrong.

Wasn’t all that in the remastered version?

I believe the version that I witnessed bore the nomer “special basted edition.”

I’ve never seen that version of the movie before.

The original star wars is one of the most
important films of all time. Every film since then (1977)
has been influenced by star wars in one way or another.
It changed the very nature of movies and how
many films have done that.

Surprisingly (even to myself), I am a fan of the Star Wars Trilogy. Trilogy only.

For laughs, you should check out Thumb Wars. And all the other Thumb movies. They are fairly entertaining, in my opinion, if you have seen the original movies.
