We're waiting for the Rifftrax (http://www.rifftrax.com/ ) version. The Riffs of the Star Wars prequels were the funniest things I've ever seen. > From: http://www.cs..edu/~b > Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2015 16:47:56 -0800 > > So Matt was up in for the weekend for a gig at Ashkenaz, and we had > several yummy meals together, and this afternoon after dim sum we went to the > Emeryville AMC. > > Non-spoiler review: There's really nothing to spoil. All the putative > surprises announced themselves way in advance. The stormtroopers still can't > shoot for beans, and the dark side artificial planet designers still put fatal > flaws in their designs. Carrie Fisher has learned to act; that was the > biggest surprise. (Harrison Ford hasn't.) > > 3D isn't as headache-inducing as it used to be, but it still looks like layers > of cardboard with spacers in between, like a ViewMaster, not continuous depth. > Except when a ship is zooming right at you and they put more effort into it. > > And the other surprise is that the soundtrack barely hinted at the iconic > theme music that was the only reason the original became a big hit. > > Kenny Baker in the credits as "R2D2 consultant." :-)
