I have to say 2 because A. no Jar Jar B. Hayden isn't a completely whining little ***** yet.

What? He's pretty freakin' whiney in Episode 2. Also, Jar Jar is in Episode 2 as much as Episode 3 (about a scene)

yes, but not as much as in 3. So less Jar Jar in 2 than 1 = 2>1, and less whining Hayden in 2 than 3 = 2>3. That was my very simplistic logic. Plus the Storm Trooper factory is tight, although the battles on different planets when they assassinate Jedi in the 3rd is sweet as well.

Okay, fine. not an exact science.
But Yoda fighting Darth Sidious is the best part of 3.

And Darth Sidious using a lightsaber. I also love the following convo, when the Jedi led by Mace Windu come to arrest Emperor Palpatine/Sidious:
Mace: "The Senate will decide your fate."
Sidious: "I AM the Senate!" (his voice is cool here)

I just like looking back and blaming Natalie Portman for everything. She put the emperor in power, she pissed off Hayden, if she would have just died or let the guys take over in the first, all this may have been avoided.

The lamest thing is that the most evil, powerful being in the entire universe came about because he couldn't handle baby mamma drama. seriously.

I just got back from seeing Bride Wars. Went into it expecting a few laughs and it didn't disappoint. It's the kind of movie I would not have seen nor enjoyed I hadn't gone through all the drama of planning a wedding. Overall I give it a 2.5 out of 5. Not great but good enough to see as a date movie.
Oh Anne Hathaway has a pretty hot scene where she's dirty dancing on a stage in very skimpy clothes.

Please tell me that is a line he has.
Also, I hope that is the correct line, because coarse and rough are the same description. Fantastic writing.

So one of the scarier movies that i have seen in the last couple years has been the movie Joy Ride. I thought it was very entertaining.
Well....i just sat down and rather Joy Ride 2. and i have never seen a more god awful movie in my life. That is about 2 hours i will never get back in my life.

Joy Ride? That's not scary, it's not even supposed to be that scary really, it's a thriller but, pretty lame on the I dunno, "horror factor". haha. Dont ask me why but, I like Steve Zahn, though. Probably because of Saving Silverman more than anything.
Anyway, I've been watching a lot of bad movies lately...just trying to watch every movie once, I suppose. haha. So anway, I watched Hitman today...not that good at all but, I've seen worse video game to movie, movies. I dont particularly think Olyphant is a great actor or anything but, he's a cool dude (The Girl Next Door, ftw :))...not that good in this one, though overall. Olga Kurylenko is a hotty, though. damn.

It is a line he has. Episodes I-III have some of the most awful dialogue ever.

Most critics are saying one week into the new year and Bride wars is already a contender for worst movie of the year. And they showed that scene with Hathaway dancing on stage the other night, wasnt that skimpy, and the dancing wasnt very hot either imo, but to each his own.

The only people in the Ep. I-III with a lot of talent were Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor. I'm not a big fan of Natalie Portman in the Star Wars movies.
