Why do I do this to myself?
Nov. 30th, 2007 04:25 pmSeeing as I've been in a major Farmboy mood for the last three weeks with no end in sight, I thought I'd watch a little of him...or rather all of him I could. Have to say I still prefer the middle to later versions of him despite my penchant for younger men.
Anyhoo, seeing as I was on a certain tack, I thought I'd revisit the later films.
BIG mistake! Firstly, I seem to have lost/donated/dumped my copy of TPM (no bad thing, really) and don't own the others (aside from the pirate copy of RotS my Padawan burned for me), so I've borrowed them all from a Wing Commander I know (who I think was my separated twin brother as we have the same taste in film).
TPM does, I have to admit, have one or two redeeming qualities over the later installments- acting talent being one of them.
But then I started watching AotC. Why? Okay, the young General and my other main man are okay, but WHO THE FRAK CAST/WROTE/DIRECTED THIS THING!?
Oh, nevermind.
I've not seen any of these films for a long, long time and watching them like this just reinforces the quality/crap divide.
