Don't lose your gay


Crystal Skull was awesome and so is grinding bounty hunters into alcohol. Boba Fett should've died coming out of the Sarlaac and his buddies should've smoked him afterwards to gain his powers.

What's pretty stupid though is that his bounty hunter buddies gave him a proper burial. I mean, aren't bounty hunters supposed to be these awesome solitary lone wolf guys? Do they come to each others birthday parties, too? Bounty hunter BYOBBBQ?

That's where the solidarity comes from. They don't all hang out cause they're bounty hunters, they all hang out cause they're the only ones who know what a true gently caress up Bossk is.

I had Bossk's action figure as a kid and thought he was way cooler than most of the other 1-second-cameo bounty hunters.

Are the other bounty hunters just jealous, or is Bossk not as cool as 12 year-old me thought?

Listen, I'm not going to lie to you: I was pretty hard on Bossk. But he gets a happy ending. Well, sort of, if you ignore how he canonically becomes a derelict alcoholic cripple.

Jesus, Attack of the Clones is worse than I remembered. My neighbor invited me over to watch it and since I haven't watched it in years, I agreed. I haven't cringed more watching a movie since Transformers 2. I think the only memorable thing from that hunk of poo poo was Across the Stars, a good song for an awful romance. :suicide:

My college roommate and I would do marathons of all 8 movies (Both trilogies, Clone Wars and Holiday Special), but we eventually stopped watching Clones because it was so bad.

Think about that. We chose to watch 10 minutes of unsubtitled Wookie and a movie with a character quite literally named "Stinky The Hutt" over Attack of the Clones.

edit: Without Rifftrax on the Holiday Special.

The only thing I can remember really liking in that movie (been ages since I watched it) were the seismic charges

On the other hand, I won't ever be able to find Boba Fett cool after this movie.

The Holiday Special is a chthonic horror. I have never in my live seen anything so bad on TV, and I refuse to believe anyone would see it more than once. I would like to enter into evidence the Youtube views for part 1 (156,541 views) compared to the last part (9,385 views).

I watched it for the first time this past Christmas, and I'll never subject myself to it again. I could almost feel the brain cells dying off as it went on.

STUPID MINORITIES ALWAYS MAKING ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE TO BE A WHITE MALE
Yeah I can't agree that Attack of the Clones is worse than the Holiday Special. HS is the quintessential example of a cash in for the entire television and film collective and is one of the only things that ever comes to mind when I hear somebody say "So bad it's painful". Usually the idiom is thrown around casually but for Holiday Special it is completely legitimate. The Holiday Special is torment. von Trapp's classification as a Cthonic is brilliant in that 1 in 10 viewers are committed to in-patient treatment in a mental health facility within two weeks of viewing.

Attack of the Clones is just so bad it's embarassing. But it has quality in parts. The Holiday Special gives no reprieve. It is a frenzied and constant assault on your sanity from beginning to end.

Oddly enough, I didn't realize it was popular opinion that Attack was worse than Phantom Menace. Honestly, of the six movies, A New Hope and Phantom Menace are the two I would skip in a marathon but DON'T because... come on... it's a Marathon. You gotta do it right.

I am willing to compromise and say there are 4.
The OT and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.
I am willing to disregard Caravan of Courage (even though it sets up crucial backstory of Cindel's family and how they ended up on Endor and befriending the Ewoks and how Wicket learned their language) because it doesn't have Noa Briqualon.

The Holiday Special was so bad George Lucas refuses to acknowledge it. It doesnt even work out to a "well he thought the prequels were good movies so what he hates must be gold right" situation. It's so bad even Lucas will say it is poo poo and refuses to put it in legal distribution.

So far. Give it a few years for Lucas to figure out some people want to own it in an ironic sense.

"A New Hope" is Star Wars. You can't marathon Star Wars movies without watching Star Wars. Also, go gently caress your own face.

He's had so long already, though - I say it's item #4 on the Lucasfilm to-do after George is found hanging from Boba Fett's grappling hook in the Skywalker Ranch cathedral, sweaty hands still locked on his "action feature."

Edit: He was watching himself on a monitor, and the coffee enema kit is still steaming in the shade of a California morning.

Hahaha, I know that, thats why I said I have to watch it because its a marathon. The first one just kinda bores me now. It used to fascinate the crap out of me but it just doesn't merit the awesome feelings I get from Empire and Jedi, nor does it stand up to Revenge's mindless special effects.

Forgot about those Ewok movies. I actually found the DVD at a garage sale, but my roommate got drunk and threw it in the garbage because he hated Ewoks so much. :( It all worked out, since I told him the DVD was worth $50 and so that's what he paid me for it.

I suppose I should feel guilty about that, but then again, he tried to turn "That's so wizard, Annie!" into a catchphrase around our dorms, so he probably deserved it. :colbert:

Speaking of Phantom Menace, I feel compelled to remind everyone that Greedo is literally in that movie. I think someone brought it up again a couple pages back, but it bears repeating: Lucas literally thought it was a good idea to have little babby Greedo be in a movie.
