"Don’t let anyone trick you into thinking Jar Jar Binks was the only, or even the biggest,..."

“

Don’t let anyone trick you into thinking Jar Jar Binks was the only, or even the biggest, problem with the Star Wars prequels. They are an awful mess to the point just watching those stunted, wooden performances, the weightless action and the god-awful dialogue actually give people douche chills.

The cause is mainly that George Lucas had written nothing in advance. He clearly had no idea where he was going.

For example, “Boy Enters Car Race” may be one of Lucas’ fantasies, but narratively it is a cul de sac at best. Worse, it revealed to everyone the truth we had always suspected: Lucas likes to say he has nine films in mind, but the truth is he has absolutely no idea what is going to happen in any of them. If you can waste that much time on a pod race subplot best used for a kids TV show, you clearly are not in a hurry to get to anything else.

Spielberg said the same of Lucas about Indiana Jones. He likes to say he has a grand plan, but really it’s all being made up as he goes and the plot holes are insane.

Case in point: The correct answer to the Emperor saying, “It seems in your anger, you killed her” is not, “NOOOOOOOOOOO!”

It is, “Well that doesn’t matter, because the reason I joined the dark side is that you promised me you would teach me to bring the dead back to life. So let’s get down to lesson one or I will force choke you until it really smarts.”

A photo from Kiyomachi Dori in Kyoto last night. The most moving part of the walk was being told by a small boy to look up into the trees, through the petals to a white bird that was sitting in a branch. Once I noticed one I realised there were dozens of these white birds, hidden and perfectly camouflaged among the white-pink sakura petals in full bloom. My jaw dropped when I realised how many of the little animals I had utterly failed to notice. The boy saw the stunned look on my face and smiled as if his work was done. He’d opened another adult’s eyes to the world around him he was failing to see. I thanked him and he moved off with parents. It’s amazing what you can learn from kids. They’re a constant inspiration. 夕べ木屋町で撮った桜の写真を「２０１３の桜」アルバムにアップしました。皆さんは今年お花見に行きましたか？ via my professional homepage http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ofriceandzen/~3/oGb0PkUmNP8/46645617784
