I took my boys to see the new Star Wars movie, Revenge of the Nerds. Oh, sorry, that’s not the name, that’s what would happen if you moved someone’s sleeping bag on the sidewalk in front of the theater before opening night. When I was about 12 years old the Star Wars movies completely kicked ass. Now, as an adult, they suck like an 8 pound Oreck upright. There was not a single actor or actress in that movie who could act dead even if you actually killed them. Samuel L. Jackson, who is a pretty good actor, suddenly becomes as stiff as a 12 year old boy who discovered his dad’s stash of Playboy magazines. The only good actor in the whole movie was Yoda, and he’s an animated puppet. Has anyone else noticed that C3PO is a gay robot? If you take away the special effects, Star Wars is just a bad soap opera happening in outer space.
