QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) What backwater hell-hole do you live in to believe that? Oh, that's right, canada. If you can say that you don't think rather had ANY personal agendas in his many stories about the Bush administration, with a straight face, you need new meds. I'm sure much of his personal opinion got into his newscasts but to say he had an agenda? I don't buy that.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) This is absolutely hilarious to me. Folks on this board and a great number of people on the left made fun of Bush for being a "C" student then turning around and saying how brilliant Kerry was. What a crock of s*** that argument was. While obviously a zillion pro-Kerry people used Bush's grades as a negative look stupid, Bush still does as well. He is easily the worst speaker and probably the dumbest leader of the free world. There's a reason he has held the least press conferences of any president in the history of television.

Great choices for president. lol

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) Or personal agendas (aka CBS's Danny-boy). I don't agree that Rather had a personal agenda. But I agree that there is no place for those with them in telling the news... obviously.

Balta did exactly that! Do you have a link for that? I'm interested because that's a good point if it's true. Okay maybe it is, but those who have the public duty of reporting the news aren't supposed to be doing it with profit margins in mind.

You try a virus scan? Also, I wouldn't have just delelted some file.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) You are confusing opportunity with action. They often extend invitations to those who are expected to give rebuttal opinions & those invitations are declined. You hear O'Reilly say this often. Extending the invitation is in keeping with being fair & as far as being balanced they do what they can with the people who are willing to speak on the network. If some of those invited are gutless what's a network to do? Wow Juggs no numbers to back that up? I have a hard time believing such large disparities are due simply to this. He also made up a French newspaper out of thin air once too, so...

As Al Franken said the media has a for profit bias.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 11:29 AM) I love the movie...but the dialogue has been so horrible in these 3 films. The way Padme and Anakin talk to each other has me convinced George Lucas is a virgin...because no way he has ever shared intimacy with another human being...male or female! The 2 things that were lamest in this last movie were the 'NNNOOOOO' by Vader and when the doctors said Padme is dying of a broken heart. That's what they said right? How stupid. But I still loved it...rock on... I don't think the doctor said she's dying of a broken heart. I think they just couldn't explain it.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 06:12 AM) On your Dooku comment, I think they got it right. Anakin IS a hell of a lot more powerful than the last time they met, and it showed in the short work he made of Tyranus. Plus he's got the rage over Dooku taking his hand the last time. Finally, the scene was essential because striking down the apprentice and taking his place at the side of the Sith Lord is about as tight a Star Wars continuity theme gets – harkening back to Jedi with the Emperor telling Luke to kill Vader and take his place, and even back to Empire with Vader suggesting the Emperor's time was past and it should be he and Luke ruling the Galaxy. Without being too heavy-handed about it, Episode 1 did a good job of formalizing this Sith rule that we had already seen glimpses of – always in two they cone..., but was this he (Darth Maul) the master or the apprentice?... etc . Never really thought about it that way. But I still don't like a CG Christopher Lee.

Well just a bunch of thoughts I had about it I thought Lucas was definitely making fun of the Bush administration. Like the whole idea that Sidious creates the whole seperatist army to later destroy it, ala Hussein and Bin Laden. Or as Juggs mentioned earlier "Either you are with me, or you are my enemy". There is no way that Lucas just wrote that by coincidence. Or after Darth Vader slices and dices the leaders of the seperatists and yells to Padme about how he's gave the empire "freedom and democracy". Also the scene in which the suited Darth Vader is born and standing in the middle ground behind him is a sneering Sidious, ummm Dick Cheney anyone? There were a couple more things I can't remember right now and I'm sure a few of the things I noticed were coincidental but with Lucas being a Democrat, theres no way it was all unintentional. compliments Grievous was really cool creation, but I was a little confused at the start where he was coughing. Thankfully his organic innards were revealed. Oh, and I loved when Obi was chasing him around on that bird/dragon! While there are some continuity problems that some mentioned as a non Star Wars freak I didn't notice and thought it came full circle effectively. Yoda remained a super cool character and with the barrage of CGI that the news Star Wars joints have given us it probaby would have been odd for him to have stayed "muppet", especially considering the fight scenes. But undoubtedly the puppet Yoda beats CGI Yoda, the scene where Luke meets "muppet" Yoda, and Yodes gets in a fight with R2D2 is one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever! Great scene where Anakin gets the suit and breaks out of the cuffs or whatever and there's Sidious behind him. Of course the whole mood was f***ed with that bloody "Noooooooooooo", that had my buddy rolling. Jimmy Smits rulz!11!!!1!! grievances (pardon the semi-pun) The clunky, terribly, uncreative dialogue. It was horrendous. I'm probably just forgetting how all the other episodes dialogue was terrible as well but this was unbelievable. I was completely dumbfounded by moments like when Anakin and Obi-Trice get trapped in some force field and Obi says "I didn't think we were this stupid" or whatever. It just pissed me off. They are Jedi for f*** sakes, they should be able to speak like a poet, the drunks on Deadwood speak more eloquently. Christoper Lee's character Dooku was useless. Lee is a legend but this scene was butchered. It was dumb right of the bat when when Dooku jumps off the balcony and becomes a completely unrealistic looking CGI creation as he does a front flip of all things. How hard is it to get a stunt man and do some wirework, god! Then the fight continues and it's just not interesting as he gets massacred... in CGI! Other CGI parts had me peeved too like the babies in the robots arms were CGI and looked like aliens. Or the clone guys suits were CGI but the Boba Fett face wasn't!?! Terrible. The completely CGI action gives me the impression that I'm watching a cut scene from a video game. I'll take a good ole western gunfight like from Open Range or some damn good Wu Xia battles in Hero over this any bloody day! Mace Windu is completely underused. This is freakin' Sam Jackson and he's just not forceful enough. Maybe just because he can't across as so in non-R-rated movies. I wish during the scene where Anakin asks/whines about not getting Master that Mace just said "English Muthaf***a do you speakit!, f*** off". Just the over-whinyness and stupidity of Anakin too. Like shut up! Oh and if he's such a smart Jedi he wouldn't have needed Padme to tell him she was pregnant, he would have noticed her huge belly! Probably could say more but now I'm getting mad 7/10 but thumbs down as I was expecting something much better than the previous 2 but I just wasn't really feelin' it. p.s. Sorry for the long post

QUOTE(winodj @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 01:59 PM) Nine times out of ten, the Fox News Channel will deny that there is a bias to their coverage. Although CNN is really becoming just as bad, as much as most people don't want to admit it... the RNC's preferred media outlets are NBC, Fox News and CNN in that order. You couldn't possibly be insinuating that there isn't a liberal media bias!?!
