Blagging about this Webzone

I just wanted to make that title. It's funny, just like this nearly 2-hour review of the last Star Wars prequel.


...And now after watching it, I am very happy. It was worth every second, and for way, way more than just seeing someone bash Revenge of the Sith. What I love about Plinkett's criticism is when he compares it something good. It helps you appreciate what's so wonderful about films you enjoy. It helps you point out, quantify, or just feel those small parts of moviemaking that often go unnoticed.

Of course, "unnoticed" doesn't mean the effect isn't felt. You still understand Darth Vader because of the characterization around him. You connect with Luke because of how the story is laid out. But after these extremely long and detailed looks at the prequels, you see when it's done and, especially, when it's not. You see how it's done and how it's not. What went wrong, and what went right.

And that's why I'll be watching whatever he puts out in the future. Absolutely.

Kinda want some pizza rolls...
