"Since 17 cents of every ticket dollar ends up at the DNC, the question becomes: is it worth paying that price (not to mention several irreplaceable lifetime hours) to see it?"

E-X-A-C-T-L-Y. I have no plans on seeing this movie. I'll wait for cable, just as I did for AOTC.

I'm with you. I kept waiting for the price to drop far enough for "AOTC" to overcome the bad taste left from "Phantom Menace." When it exited the dollar theaters and I still hadn't seen it, I knew my interest in "Star Wars" had finally been snuffed by Lucas' obsession with software over good filmmaking. I finally checked out a video of "AOTC" from the library and fast-forwarded through probably half the running time to skip past wooden acting, clunky dialogue, or endless, repetitive scenes of fake-looking, CGI cartoon battles. Lucas apparently thinks that if two guys having a sword fight is exciting, 1,000 guys doing it at once is 1,000 times more exciting. Nope, just scattered, confusing and boring. But with enough judicious editing, "AOTC" might make a fairly good 15-minute short.

Flame away, don't care.

And how much does cable pay GL to broadcast it? And how much do you pay to get cable?
