Did I miss something, or did he not announce ahead of time when it would be released?

Well, they've been getting less funny and less seemingly revolutionary as time goes on. Funny is subjective, I guess, and revolutionary is largely due to him trying not to repeat himself but there being only a finite number of things you can say about the way a movie should be made. (lol dif lol) That said, I liked it. My preference for them is in chronological order, but I'm quite glad this one wasn't filled with the subplot of Plinkett's victim.

This brings us to Down in Front. *hugs Down in Front*

wait thats

oh that probably seemed narcissistic huh

It is a different skill set, and I'm having to invent theory and strategy on the fly. On the other hand, I've picked up a copy of an old chess book I loved as a kid to bone up for when we start her on that game

I've become increasingly less interested in these.  I thought the TPM review was a fun little thing, but these belabor many of the same points he made then.  While I agreed largely with his point of Lucas getting lazy and just live switching between two cameras filming a couch conversation, I felt the rest of it was a bit thin.

I dunno, I'd almost rather listen to an hour long review of why the prequels are better than the original trilogy, and I'll tell you why.  I agree that the Prequels were bloated, unnecessary, and flawed from conception.  While RLM articulates these points well, I'm not sure why I want to listen to a dude make a point that essentially boils down to a "duh."

I'd rather have an intelligent person make an insane point (The prequels are better than the godfather trilogy) with a level of articulation that make me reconsider than someone parrot what every SW fanboy has been saying for the last 11 years.

I'm with Dorkman.  RLM has helped me understand exactly why the prequels hurt so bad, in a more specific way than even DIF.  And after watching this one, I get why I hate ROTS more than the other two.

A while back I was thinking about doing something like that with District 9, because everyone seems to love that movie and I find it mediocre but seriously racist and condescending. The reason I got so pissed about D9 was mainly because a few months earlier there were a couple of 'black' robots in Transformers 2 which everyone and his brother decided were racist while I totally disagree with that opinion as well. Either I'm totally wrong about what racism is, or people have trained themselves to have knee-jerk reactions to any sort of racial stereotype while being unable to identify when something is actually racist.

I ultimately decided it would have been a boring video, tho. Maybe I should reconsider and just do it with funny voices and poop jokes.

But I do love Plinkett's reviews (all of them...  The Star Trek ones are also funny). I kinda like that this one was less crazy serial killer humor and more comparison and analysis.
