movie: The Phantom Menace Review

For those of you who don't read Slashdot, I must share this opportunity to see some good filmmaking.

Someone has created an excellent review of the movie "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace".  It'll take an hour of your time to see this "movie review" movie.  It's not just a dry enumeration of the failings of the original movie.  The creator put his own head under the axe by creating an actual movie with its own entertaining diversions (with actors, sets, etc.).

It is excellent and well worth your time. It is, unfortunately, divided into 7 parts for YouTube distribution.

If nearly 70 minutes of criticism isn't sufficient to give you an idea of the awfulness of the original movie, I'll add my own anecdote to the steaming pile.  The movie was so bad that I completely boycotted the second movie.  George Lucas (or anyone else) did not earn a single penny from me.  I would have boycotted the 3rd movie as well, but I downloaded an advance copy of the script and decided that it had enough redeeming value to make it worth the price of admission.

The 1st movie really was that bad.  If you paid money for a dvd or any other "merchandise", then I really do feel bad for you that your addiction compels you encourage the continuation of such mediocrity.  :(
