Re: The Greatest Artist of Our Time

omfg, high-brow humanities academic praises the prequels. Or is she just trolling? I felt a bit nauseous after reading the article. Could anyone be any more out of touch? I suddenly feel like a Republican, as in 'scrap the university liberal arts faculties' - what are they good for?

not long to go now...

I bet you wouldn't get the same people waxing lyrical about visual art films like Immortals or Sucker Punch, which are truly beautiful and evocative to behold.

Also, the author praises what is quite possibly one of the worst sword fights ever put on film. There was a great animated gif I saw ages ago which showed just badly (or rather, how obviously) it's choreographed. It shows the two combatants standing about a feet apart swirling their lightsabres in huge and very non-hazardous circles. It's on a loop to be sure, but there's at least 2 seconds of them doing it. And what's more, the showmanship of most of the duel is at odds with the raw emotion of the scene! I really hate you, but look at my skills yo.

I have a friend who sat in her class at UArts. He said that she was out-of-her-mind crazy. I guess, this article seems to prove that.

The OT Jedi are pacifists.
Obi Wan gives in to Vader's violence, and Luke can only defeat the Emperor by turning his loyal assassin against him.
The Jedi using the force against opponents in PT combat was a shock to me as well.
