Peanut Gallery — Mouse disses ‘Star Wars III’

This is simply proof that lousy acting and no story line are no bar to selling, provided the buyers are driven by their pre-teen children. Like fast food, the only thing you get with the latest successful scam from Hollywood is proof that garbage sells, plus a lousy aftertaste.

Lucas failed to tell a story, failed to work with whatever passes as acting ‘talent’ today and failed to break any new ground in cinematography. He did sell a whole bunch of suckers tickets though and probably will be responsible for Hollyweird surviving another year. What a shame. Where is todays John Ford? Where are the movies like “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence” or “Harvey”? Have we simply abandoned the movie as an art form? Certainly if this Star Wars is an example, Lucas has.

Save your money, take your kids to the park and watch grass grow, it will make more sense, provide more color and be more exciting than watching the Failure of the Sith.
