Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

Just got back from the theatrical re-release of this movie. I am more convinced than ever that Jar Jar Binks was a sith lord in disguise, and that the sequel trilogy should have taken advantage of that. You can't tell me that everything that he got away with was all by pure happenstance.

Star Wars is an epic space opera franchise that has captivated audiences with its timeless tale of the battle between good and evil, set in a galaxy far, far away.

Well, if Yoda was a Sith, I guess Binks could be too.
Yoda - ''Do. Or do not. There is no try.''
Obi-Wan - ''Only a Sith deals in absolutes.''

Curious, what are you pinning that up against? I know we had Kung Fu Panda 4, and I know that Inside Out 2 is upcoming. I forget what else came out though.

American Fiction (I think Netflix) is an amazing, and very intelligent, comedy about race in America. Totally has a mind blowing ending too.

I know a lot of you cats out there enjoy some intelligent Hollywood every so often so give it a whirl, it's not often they put out movies like this.

The acting in this is so darned good too, the lead guy is amazing and one of the best actors around in my book, some of you may know him from Boardwalk Empire

^ I forget if I wrote impressions for the film. I liked its writing, acting was on point (though I ain't handing out awards for it)... but it didn't all come together for me among the best of the year (just above Maestro at the bottom of the Best Picture nominees in my book). The ending was definitely noteworthy and took a chance, and I appreciate it for that. Ultimately I didn't feel the characters had enough to do outside of being characters, if that makes sense. "You're the person known for doing this," rather than elements of driving the story itself (given that there were a couple of B-plots, that's mostly all that they served).

One big negative for me though was the score. It did not fit the film at all, in my opinion. Big negative points for that, and should not have been nominated in that department.
