Family Fang - yuk

The Invitation - mediocre

From Russia with Cash - worthwhile

Yeah, I liked The Invitation well enough I guess, not enough to remember it. It wasn't a bad movie, it was just severely over hyped.

So I just watched the first two Star Wars prequels, as I haven't seen them since the theaters.

Mother of god the CGI is awful, the characters look like bad PS2 video game characters pasted onto the screen (with no shadows, etc., to even try to make them look real). The dialogue is atrocious. I know this has all been said. . . but they absolutely do not age well.

I do feel bad for the Annakin (sp?) actor dude now though. Rewatching, he wasn't that bad, he was just directed horribly.

Bite your fucking tongue. His voice at every turn was the equivalent of what I would expect the sound to be if one stuck a traffic cone up a giraffe's ass.

See I find that hard to believe. I think your traffic cone up as

s sound interpretation was culturally biased.
Well, actually you may be right. It was a Scottish Giraffe, which may have given an accent unlike what you are referring to.

Wow. . . this takes me back.

I was in Scotland back in 2009 or 2010, I forget. There were only 2 or 3 wild giraffe herds there, and you are lucky if you can find one in those herds that lets you shove a traffic cone up their ass.

I was following my second herd, the first herd had no ass-receptive giraffes, and I finally met "the one." I could tell by his long eyelashes-- he wanted a traffic cone shoved into his anus, repeatedly.

I looked at him, he looked at me. He said "yes" with his eyes.

He blinked.

I smiled. He knew the cone was coming, and he wanted it.

As he exposed his rump to me, and prolapsed his anus to enable him to suck it in, well, I felt something. Something truly unique.

The sounds he made, hmm, yeah, maybe not like the guy from star wars, but pretty close, but with an accent.

No TRUE Scotsgiraffe would let you stick a cone up his ass.

Just to be fair. . . I finally got around the the third prequel, and the CGI was very good. No more Gungan (? whatever the fuck Jar Jar was) bad CGI.

I still think the actors got a bad draw. It wasn't their fault the writing and directing was atrocious. But, then again, having watched the originals, Harrison Ford and others carried it despite bad writing and directing. They were just as cheesy in many ways. They are space drama, not "real" sci fi, and were made more to sell toys to children than acclaims to actors. I appreciate them for what they were, and to damn their bad CGI at the time, which was at the forefront, would be like be annoyed at the original Ben Hur for bad special effects. I guess it should be appreciated in its era.
