and the sad joke is on us.

I shouldn't have been surprised that Lucas would end his "Star War's Epic" with this piece of boring crap. Because Lucas is tossing "in our face" the shallowness of what our culture has become...when good people turn to the dark side. Maybe that's his brilliance to show us the finality of our shallow trivial, mass produced, empty culture.


I went to see "Revenge" tonight. And at the 8:00 p.m. show there were only about 30 people in the audience. How could this be? Our theater just last week was "pre-selling" tickets in anticipation of a Blockbuster.

We stayed for an hour and forty five minutes....we left before it was finished. I should have known that Lucas is dark because of the way "Amercian Grafitti" (his greatest) ends. And, Lucas put out this "Glorified Video Game" to make some kind of point. Just like John Kerry stood on the Senate floor today and gave a rousing speech about all the Bush lies following Senator Byrd's fascinating history of the Senate "fillibuster" history.

Coming off Byrd and Kerry's magnificent features and then finishing up the night with "Revenge of the Sith." I've seen the "Dark Side."

All of them know we are doomed. We have become the darkside. And there is "no light" to lead us forward coming from our Government or our Media or our Moviemakers.

It's up to "US" to bring the light. They've sold out, given up and become Annikan...going to the Dark Side.

I was so hoping for something special with this movie. Maybe the message was exactly what I got when I left it before the finish. :shrug:
