bb you dont know what your missing man star wars epsiode II is great a hella lot better than spiderman, now i will admit spiderman was good but very overrated it isnt even in the same league with episode II. i am also ready for the new lotr but not like i am episode III.

*Using Jedi Mind Trick* You will go to Best Buy and get Ep II with the free calender...

[LA_MERC_Mercy]

*mindtrick* we dont have a best buy in this area....which sucks...

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

lol...we would all be in trouble if we did though.

[LA_MERC_Maverick]

w00t...best buy just moved into my area last week....HAHAHA...me gonna spend lots of money i dont have :)

[LA_MERC_Onji]

omg if we got a best buy here, i might as well do an auto-deposit of my check directly to them

[LA_MERC_Mercy]

it would mean that i would have to split my deposit...half to walmart the other half to best buy

[[Cajun] BigEasy]

The thing about best buy that gets me is how easily they can steal my money without even trying. If I'm going to be robbed blind I'd like to hear a sales pitch at least.

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

lol...so true

[LA_MERC_Captain_Obvious]

I thought the deleted scenes would have been better. I had heard that the fight scene where nsync got shot up and all died was going to be included but I guess not. guess if I want to see them die, I have to wait a while.

[Omega_Prime]

the deleted cuts i would say were okay but they should have kept a few of them in the movie, i will also say the movie had a few diffrent parts i know one when anakin kills the tuskin raiders when he and padme talk at the end of thier conversation padme says "to be angry is to be human" then anakin replys "Im a jedi,i know im better than this..." very cool words if you ask me, there were also some other effects i noticed during the battle with mace and jango when the bull animal rams him his jetpack sparks up something that didnt happen during the theater release, those were two things i noticed anyone else got anything? Also did anyone noticed Qui Gons voice when yoda is sensing anakin killing the raiders, if you listen very close you can hear him telling anakin "no anakin!! ....No!!!" o well im out.

[LA_MERC_Mercy]

just got my copy today...w00t w00t...walmart has it for $14.96 thru the 18th...

[Omega_Prime]

i got mine for 9.99 woot

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

There was one other scene that was a little different between Anakin and Obi Wan...but I can't remember what it was. Sorry. Will watch it again tonight to see if I can remember.

[Maximus]

I luv working at Best Buy! Right, Lt. Dan?

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Ok,

My friend and I went to Dallas as planned. I kinda have mixed emotions about the whole thing. The drive wasn't that bad (3.5 hours) and we got to catch up on a lot of things. The movie...well, the playing time for the movie was 2 hours. Now, as you know, the actual movie is quite a bit longer. How did they do this? They cut out scenes!!! I was upset several times because they cut out scenes that make other things make more sense. Also, due to the size of the screen, there were several points in which you suffer from sensory overload (ie: the chase scene in the beginning when Obi Wan is holding onto the flying droid)...too much to see and too wide (if that's possible). One awesome thing, however, was Padme. Dang...well, I won't say any more so I won't get into trouble! HAHA.

Yea, I can see how Natalie Portman on an IMAX screen would be a good thing... that alone could lead to sensory overload... even without the fight and chase scenes. :)

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

EXACTLY!
