	So, new movie out on Thursday. I went to the Hoyts website to find out what time the sessions were and found they were apparently showing "Star Wars EpII Attack of the Clones" again instead, heh. Hopefully they fix that before Thursday. -----signature----- When it's dark enough, you can see the stars. "Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is central to a Jedi's life."

	Can't say I'm all that excited about this movie. Has been all over TV here lately, but to be honest the animation doens't really 'do' it for me. Probably won't see it in the theatre -----signature-----

	Hello all. I saw it on Thursday night at Sylvia Park. There was only a small number of people in the cinema on oopening night, which doesn't seem to bode well. Personally, I enjoyed it. It's not life-changingly amazing or anything, but was a good, fun film. I don't quite understand the critical mauling it's getting ... when I was checked it was sitting on 34% on metacritic.com. Whilst I can see concede some of the points people are making, it just sorta feels like it's become really fashionable to hate (recent) Star Wars recently. Anyone else seen it?

	I saw it Saturday morning at St Lukes. There was a decent crowd - mainly kids and parents. I think the problem is a lot of critics didn't realize that it's animated star wars tv in a movie theatre, rather than a new Star Wars movie. I enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to the tv series. There's a few things I had issue with ... mainly surrounding Ahsoka's characterization, which I felt was a bit inconsistent, but I loved the Anakin/Obi-Wan banter. -----signature----- When it's dark enough, you can see the stars.

	I saw it on Sunday morning - first Star Wars movie I've been able to take the kids to. Was a bit sleepy after watching Olympics and Rugby Saturday night, and because of that it dragged in places (namely the same battle 3 times - no doubt one in each TV episode, if it was broken down into thirds). And the kidnap plot was pretty silly, certainly no grand theme like the proper movies have, but I really like the art style and the animation (even if the clone voice actor had no idea how to 'do' Tem Morrison), and the movie was terrific fun in most places. I really like Ashoka too. Absolutely looking forward to the TV series. Anyone know when it starts and if a NZ channel have the rights yet? -----signature----- Thunder only happens when its raining Players only love you when they're playing Say women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean you'll know

	This is a user comment from the Time site. I don't necessairly agree, but it's damn funny ... http://time-blog.com/nerd_world/2008/08/review_star_wars_the_clone_war.html?xid=rss-nerdworld "Star Wars is like some girl you met at a party and thought was relly amazingly cool, and you snuck off and had sex on the golf course when no one was looking, and it was freakin' amazing and great. Then you went out on an actual date and it was even better than before. Then you go out again (We'll call this your third date, though the first time really wasn't one)and it's sort of frustrating and she's clearly not that into it, and she's saying the most nonsensical things, and in the end you don't get laid. Then she refuses to return your phone calls for an ungodly length of time, and you just know she's seeing some other guy. When you do finally get together again, not only do you not get laid, but she's boring and longwinded as hell, and won't stop talking about having kids. Date number five is better - you have some fun and have sex after a fashion - but it all seems forced somehow, and her horribly stagey angst keeps grinding things to a halt. On your sixth date, you do definitely get laid, and it's even pretty good, but by this point you've put so damn much effort into so little payoff that you find you've stopped caring, and don't want to see her again. "Clone Wars" is kind of like when that same chick calls you out of the blue years later, clearly strung-out and asking for money, freaking the hell out of your current girlfriend or wife, and causing you to wonder just what the hell it was you saw in that boozy, pretentious, moneygrubbing skank in the first place. And then you change your phone number."

	According to SWNZ, TV3 are looking at getting rights to screen the series. If not, I'm sure it will be shown on the Cartoon Network on Sky. -----signature----- When it's dark enough, you can see the stars.

	Meh. I am so over waiting for NZ TV networks to play shows. All my favourite US shows (Battlestar, Dexter, The Wire, The Office) are often literally years behind their US counterparts. I've given up. Now I just Bittorrent the shows when they air, and support them financially by buying the DVDs when they get released. Other than (ahem) Shortland Street, I don't really bother with broadcast TV any more.

	TV3 aren't too bad - heroes, LOST, Survivor, and especially The Daily Show (on C4) are all pretty close behind US screenings. The issue is the US has so many reruns mid-season, and holding back of new episodes for sweeps, that it must be hard to organise this for NZ audiences who are used to an uninterrupted season run. But I've also been buying TV DVDs lately, Arrested Development, and the sharpest written US comedy in years - 30 Rock. -----signature----- Thunder only happens when its raining Players only love you when they're playing Say women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean you'll know

	So you're saying 30 Rock is better than Arrested Development? I do not believe this is possible ...

	Yeah, 30 Rock is much funnier that AD - and AD is great. -----signature----- Thunder only happens when its raining Players only love you when they're playing Say women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean you'll know

	That's interesting because I think "Arrested Development" is THE GREATEST TELEVISION COMEDY OF ALL TIME. Has anyone watched "The Wire"? Amazing show.

	I've heard good things about it. My friend in the JCC Knightwriter says it's better than the Sopranos, but I cannot fathom how. Can lend you my 30 Rock Season 1 DVD if you like? Of course now you have unrealistic expectations... -----signature----- Thunder only happens when its raining Players only love you when they're playing Say women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean you'll know

	The Wire is waaaaaaay better than The Sopranos. Honestly, it's incredible. I'd like to see 30 Rock. And a catch-up is probably in order anyway.

	AHEM Anyways, Clone Wars? Went and saw it for the second time on Sunday. I took my oldest son for his first big screen Star Wars experience the first time (my Dad took me to see Star Wars on first release when I was the same age). I'm with you JP. Kids love this, and it's fairly appropriate for "family viewing". Personally, I thought the animation was fantastic and the action sequences every bit as good as the live action movies. Dialogue was a bit too "George Lucas" but what do you expect? The whole "Sky-Guy" and "Snips" thing grew a little tiresome and the Rotta the Hutt kidnapping plot a little too contrived. Perfect setup for the small screen though. Bring it on!! -----signature----- Liam, the shades. Good job. May contain traces of nuts.

	Anyone going to (ahem) watch this series? I just downloaded the first two episodes and will watch them later today. Despite seemingly everyone hating the film, I'm quite looking forward to the series.
