    I'm in the 'dreading it' camp.

    In a weird way, I actually think I hate this prequel trilogy more than Star Wars Eps. 1-3. It's undoubtedly better made than SW 1-3, but something about it kind of makes me angrier.

    Here's what I read in the article:

    Not sure I like the idea. Reminds me way too much of that last episode of Seinfeld, which kind of turned it into a giant clip show instead of an actual concluding statement/farewell.

    How's the reading going? Nice of you to spend three paragraphs talking about how you haven't read an article yet.

    It was interesting watching a community develop an entrenched 'truther' conspiracy theory on this one.

It only seemed to be available in certain markets in the U.S. in the 80s, so anybody that enjoys the big robot movies recently like "Transformers" (ugh) and "Pacific Rim" is somebody I typically bring it up with. Yeah, I'd

    I really don't think I've been as mad at a movie as I was at Desolation of Smaug. At least the first one did move the story along with they introduction of the ring. Without the big battle of Lake Town (you know, Smaug desolating stuff) and his downfall, what did the second one substantively do to really move the
