Attack of the Clones
Isn't Euan McGregor GOOD?Come on guys get real,was Obi Wan Kenobi a developed character?Were the Ewoks a toy franchaise?Every single Star Wars movie has similar problems to varying degrees,you develop the storyline some slaughter it for being self... 
Attack of the Clones
Lockss,Was the scene you mention any less corny and unbelievable than Vaders death scene in ROTJ?-- it suits the plot development as did Vader's sudden escape from the dark side,maybe the series should have ended with the Emperor tossing Luke down... 
BC Recommends-Grace by Jeff Buckley
There you go,ask folks to hold back such comments until the thread reaches those who haven't heard the record-now already the doubts will have started and people who might be marginal could be put off.Rich your comments are as valid as mine,the to... 
Attack of the Clones
Yes but I stand by my main point Sugarbrie-where is the great acting or scripts in any of the Star Wars movies?The impact of the first movie couldn't be repeated but I would argue the newer ones are only viewed inferior because of crazy expectatio...

Blkadr- that's the very reason I gave other (better imho)examples of "laid back" music.I don't think it's the musical form/genre that is being debated rather how good CJ'S are at it-very good in some peoples opinions......in mine they are rather u...

I'm actually with SdC on this-I too own Trinity Sessions and well frankly I find it pretty dull...In not too disimilar fields I find the following better.Ophelia-Natalie Merchant-all original songs,laid back,nice voice too.In terms of covers I wou...
