Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones

Okay, this is my last post during lunch.

Excited to continue the Star Wars series, a young blogger suggests to her pals "Let's watch Attack of the Clones!" She couldn't be more excited to continue in the series. Enter a man we shall call Movie Hater. Movie Hater says "I will leave if we put on Attack of the Clones". This really put a damper blogger's excitement to watch the movie, and it only delayed the inevitable showing of Star Wars Episode II. Blogger sunk further into her pit of despair as Friday night tv provide no additional entertainment. The sad blogger fell asleep with and awoke dreamless instead of the epic jedi battle he/she was hoping to experience. *Sigh*

Cool. That was my little prequel. You like? All names were taken out to protect the identity of those involved.

My review! So-so. This movie was nowhere near as bad as Movie Hater made it out to be. We meet bold arrogant Anakin played by a cute looking Hayden Christiansen. We see him fall deeply and awkwardly in love with Padme, a queen/senator. (I really don't even know what their age difference is). We see Boba Fett for the first time. and GASP he's a clone. We meet a new villain Count Dracula, oops, I mean Dooku. Anakin gets his arm cut off for the first time. He has some of his fancy foresight and gets pissed his soon gets a better looking hand in the future. Most importantly, we get to see Yoda be totally freaking awesome and fight Count Dracula. He's jumps, he jabs, he slices, and ultimately, well, it ends in a draw. But oh well.

Anyway, the movie is entertaining. Anakin becomes sort of a jerk. Who knows why Natalie Portman likes him. Obi Wan is as wise as ever. And that's really all I have for you. Onward!

  1. I think you tend to lose focus when you do your "watch/read five, post about all five at once" pattern of logging and posting. But it adds a unique element of insanity (or maybe just attention defecit disorder) to our otherwise fairly vanilla posting.

    By the way, you gave us the gender of "blogger" twice with pronouns initially; there was no need to suddenly increase your security measures and refer to yourself as a "he/she" later in the paragraph.

    But at least your super secrecy will never allow Colin to know that he is "Movie Hater" if he reads this.
