Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace in 3D

[QuadShot]

If anyone says the acting in AOTC is good I'm flying over there and gluing shirts on Bryan ;)

Ok, the acting in Attack of the Clones was good...there, I said it now fly your cheeky arse over here and get to gluing!! :)

[Bryancd]

LOL! Yeah, in terms of clunky, awkward dialogue and wooden performances, AOTC takes the turd cake. :)

You just don't appreciate Anakin and Padme's well crafted admonitions of love! :D

[Jobydrone]

Does any of it beat "Are you an angel?"

LOL! Yeah, in terms of clunky, awkward dialogue and wooden performances, AOTC takes the turd cake. :)

Oh my, lol takes the turd cake ha ha oh that's a keeper.

[billybob476]

Yeah...

PADMÉ: Anakin, no.

ANAKIN: From the moment I met you, all those years ago, a day hasn't gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again, I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you makes my stomach turn over - my mouth goes dry. I feel dizzy. I can't breathe. I'm haunted by the kiss you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me. What can I do? I ill do anything you ask...

Silence. The logs flame in the hearth. PADMÉ meets his eye, then looks away.

ANAKIN: If you are suffering as much as I am, tell me.

PADMÉ: ...I can't. We can't. It's just not possible.

ANAKIN: Anything's possible. Padmé, please listen...

PADMÉ: You listen. We live in a real world. Come back to it. You're studying to become a Jedi Knight. I'm a Senator. If you follow your thoughts through to conclusion, they will take us to a place we cannot go... regardless of the way we feel about each other.

ANAKIN: Then you do feel something!

PADMÉ: Jedi aren't allowed to marry. You'd be expelled from the Order. I will not let you give up your future for me.

ANAKIN: You're asking me to be rational. That is something I know I cannot do. Believe me, I wish I could wish my feelings away... but I can't.

PADMÉ: I am not going to give in to this. I have more important things to do than fall in love.

There is silence as they stare at the fire. ANAKIN is thinking.

ANAKIN: It wouldn't have to be that way... we could keep it a secret.

PADMÉ: Then we'd be living a lie - one we couldn't keep up even if we wanted to. Mt sister saw it. So did my mother. I couldn't do that. Could you, Anakin? Could you live like that?

Silence for a moment.

ANAKIN: No. You're right. It would destroy us.

People do talk like that!  Here's a conversation I had with my wife right before we got married:

Becky: Joby, no.

Joby: From the moment I met you, all those years ago, a day hasn't gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again, I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you makes my stomach turn over - my mouth goes dry. I feel dizzy. I can't breathe. I'm haunted by the kiss you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me. What can I do? I ill do anything you ask...

Joby: If you are suffering as much as I am, tell me.

Becky: ...I can't. We can't. It's just not possible.

Joby: Anything's possible. Becky, please listen...

Becky: You listen. We live in a real world. Come back to it. You're studying to become a Public Health Program Analyst. I'm a Social Worker. If you follow your thoughts through to conclusion, they will take us to a place we cannot go... regardless of the way we feel about each other.

Joby: Then you do feel something!

Becky: Jews and Catholics aren't allowed to marry. You'd be expelled from the Synogogue. I will not let you give up your future for me.

Joby: You're asking me to be rational. That is something I know I cannot do. Believe me, I wish I could wish my feelings away... but I can't.

Becky: I am not going to give in to this. I have more important things to do than fall in love.

There is silence as they stare at the fire. Joby is thinking.

Joby: It wouldn't have to be that way... we could keep it a secret.

Becky: Then we'd be living a lie - one we couldn't keep up even if we wanted to. My sister saw it. So did my mother. I couldn't do that. Could you, Joby? Could you live like that?

Joby: No. You're right. It would destroy us.

actually, that's not that bad. sure it's not something someone from here would be saying, but I like how it's a throwback to the flowery speak of old plays. Remember that this film is a sci-fi period piece and that the language used isn't going to always sync with our syntax and cadence.

Are the words any less flowery than something we'd see from the pen of Bill Shakespeare?  Hell, if you think about it, it's pretty similar in tone to the words of two other doomed star cross'd lovers.

I still to this day can't seem to fathom what this little gem is supposed to imply from ROTS:

"PADME: Annie, I want to have our baby back home on Naboo. We could go to the lake country where no one would know . . . where we would be safe. I could go early-and fix up the baby's room. I know the perfect spot, right by the gardens.

ANAKIN: You are so beautiful!

PADME: It's only because I'm so in love . . .

ANAKIN: No, it's because I'm so in love with you.

PADME: So love has blinded you?

ANAKIN: Well, that's not exactly what I meant . . .

PADME: But it's probably true!

They laugh. "

WTF?

kids being kids

[Jobydrone]

You ever been around a pregnant woman Bryan?  They're nutso.

[Meds]

Give me a bucket lol I could never look at my actors if I gave them that crap to read out. I mean we all know what Harrison said regards Star Wars but when you see it on screen it was great but that scene above is dire. I remember the cinema bursting out into
