Star Wars is back!!

With the first episode which... as it turns out, there is no Hayden Christensen.  Colour me surprised!

I just have one question... why the heck was Jar Jar Binks made that way?!  Surely there was a meeting or something to see if the character would be likable, right?

Now, I'm looking forward to episode 2 since for SURE Hayden Christensen is in that one.. right?

I hope everyone is having a good week, we're getting a lot of snow and I'm ready for summer to arrive.  I also might make some chocolate chip cookies in the next week, and on that note, what is one of your favorite kinds of cookies?

I really like the chocolate chip cookies I make, and if I could, I would make some macadamia nut cookies.  I haven't found a recipe that makes them delicious like some store bought ones

Enjoy episode 1!!

FULL LENGTH REACTION | Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace [2023]

Episode 1... we should always start here, right? You DO need your own copy of the movie to watch along with me though since this is solely my reaction. I did use the extended edition, but I won't be doing extended editions in the future, I don't think. The video is there so you can have an idea when the scene changes in case you need to sync up, but it is HEAVILY blurred so I don't have any copyright issues. Enjoy!!

I've only cooked chocolate chip myself

I do enjoy a peanut butter cookie too. Just once in a while

Oatmeal cookie varieties are my favorite. I like chocolate and macadamia nut cookies but they make me wired and have a hard time sleeping afterwards.

Oatmeal cookies are pretty damn good! I haven't had some in a while. What I can see from you being wired from the cookies.. you'll need to have them for breakfast so you have the day to wind down

I think I'll be checking out of the Star Wars reactions for now. I tried rewatching the prequels just this past year, and they remain (for me), just about the worst-made mainstream movies I can remember ever seeing. Everything from acting, to writing, story-structure and aesthetics are downright incompetently executed. It's surreal to me that--while they were negatively received when they were released--the collective opinion from the fanbase has changed so radically in recent years that they're now considered masterclasses in cinema.

I think a lot of it depends on which generation is more active. The people who grew up with the original trilogy were adults when the prequels came out so they were the loudest voice, and for the most part they didn't like the movies. Now though, the people who grew up with the prequels are adults, and they will have a louder voice and have more positive things to say about them. I predict in like 10 years the sequels will be looked at in a more positive light than they are now. At least that the feeling I get since I don't have any nostalgia affecting me, and from I've seen being voiced through the years. Film styles change over the years, and things that were once amazing, are not necessarily seen as amazing for the next generations. I think the originals have pros and cons, and the prequels (well episode 1, so far) has pros and cons too.
