Not this one. I'm not the hugest Star Wars fan, though I did see it PLEN-TY
of times when I was a kid, but the SWtPM was a disappointment. Technically,
it was spectacular. In almost every other way, it failed.

Think about it -- Darth Maul is supposed to be a mean, bad-assed MoFo, and
he's got, what?, 5 minutes of screen time? While they have an offensive,
demeaning, idiotic Jar Jar Binks running around spouting stupid shit like
"Exsqueeze me" for the rest of the movie? And the stereotypes -- the
tight-fisted junk dealer with the big nose and the Jewish accent? The
ruthless business'men' always looking for a cheaper, better, faster route
having Japanese accents? Etc., etc.

I thought for SURE this was going to be the post where you didn't mention
Chuck. (Lost that bet, eh, Bruce?)
