“Sparks Will Fly. 8pm Central”

I’m not sure...

It still sucks though. Especially as ‘death of female character to motivate our hero’ is one of the more annoying movie tropes.

Major will feature, if only because he played the best game during the take down of Thatcher. Blair is too well known not to be included, even if it risk repeating what was already covered in The Queen.

I think the writer bernardg is referrring to is Caroline from AVC.

I love the fact that Brain needs Pinky even though he’s a complete idiot. Sometimes you need idiot friends, even if they hinder your attempts to take over the world.

I’m old. I remember things.

It mainly came down to when our schools break up for summer holidays. US starts from beginning of June, while over here in UK we generally break up in 2nd/3rd week of July (Scotland is a bit earlier).

Replace ‘John’ with....erm....lovemaking, well a variation on that word.

Fair point, I think the overly cute ending warps my general opinion of what the Ewoks were like. Wicket is quite good when Leia is in that stand off with the storm trooper.

Wow it never occurred to me that Jake Lloyd was playing older. All I saw was a poor man’s Kevin McCallister, without the foil of the Wet Bandits.

Nice of her to critique the film, while also acting in it.

Lest we forget that Darth Vader is C-3PO’s maker. Not sure why George felt the need to include that plot development.

The worst thing is the decision to make Anakin a child (and again, this isn’t on Jake Lloyd, who was also only doing what Lucas told him to do), because it makes everything else in the movie inconsequential.

Cool, I’ll try and hunt it down.

Mystery Men used to be on ITV2/4 a lot, then disappeared. I haven’t seen that film in ages. A very underrated film.

I think Ewan McGregor is the only one who comes out well from the prequel trilogy, as he’s the only one who seems to be having fun. That light saber twirl was pretty neat (to paraphrase Kevin Costner).

2000 gave us the year of massive box office weekend openings followed by 50-60% drops the following week. Even though I’m a Brit, I’m interested in US box office and the films that year were very up and down.

Probably a ‘lightning in the bottle’ moment where two creative forces worked well together.

As an aside, I’d say that RotJ is the best Star Wars film up until you see Wicket’s feet. The ‘failed’ rescue of Han, the death of Jabbi and the speed biker chase scene are Star Wars on top form.

It rolls that back when the cute…

You too bro.
