Beav, Your son has the makings of a fine film critic... "coughed up better things than Episode One"... looks over at the hairball in the doorway... yup... a discerning critic... flat, no firm plotline, an abundance of middy-chondria, objectionable if not quite tasteless, oh and did I mention flat? ;p I was sitting with a colleague in the hospital this evening, and the friend who relieved me had just come back from the movie. She said that the action scenes brought some cheers, but there were audible groans every time the main characters got mushy, which was too often. Lucas may have missed his audience, again. Carolly
