Aaron Jensen's splattered bits

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings."

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review

The Star Wars prequels were pretty much crap. They got progressively less crappy, but still pale in comparison to the originals.

Red Letter Media has put together a hilarious, scathing, 7-part, 70 minute review. I have a hard time disagreeing with anything in it.

At about 1:15 of part 7, there’s a scene showing George Lucas and producer Rich McCallum after watching the rough cut screening for the first time. Lucas rolls his head and McCallum just stares at the screen. I can see it in their eyes: the realization that they’ve just created a horrible movie. It’s a beautiful moment of Schadenfreude.
