Comment Re:Hayden Christensen's career... (Score 1) 360

You're right about his acting ability, but the killer for the movie was direction. Portman is a much better actor, but lame script and mediocre director was what really did it in. I suspect if she was more mature at the time she could have pushed back on some of the script and direction choices.

All the hot grits in the world can't save her from that script.

That's Redheaded Counselor Juggs, though she is not quite up to Christina Hendricks level as redheaded eye-candy. She's actually older than La HenDDricks. Sad to say, Hendricks died her hair blonde recently which is total wrong-thinking that should be punished, no quatloos for her. There are two actresses who were born to be redheads that should stay redheads now and forever....Hendricks and Emma Stone. What was Emma Stone thinking....why play doomed-to-die Gwen Stacy when she could have the opportunity to play Mary Jane Watson if she just stayed red.

Comment And it was really bad in the new SW movies (Score 1) 360

The actors had nothing to react to and nowhere to go. Basically the whole damn thing was shot on green screen, with a two camera setup. Lucas could just park his ass in his chair, look at the monitors, and do nothing. Makes it hard when you are not only having to imagine the entire set and everything you are supposed to be seeing and reacting to, but also are on a small stage and can't even more around much.

He had a lot of people he was answerable to. Sure he wrote the script for the first one (other screenwriters did the second and third) but it wasn't the Lucas show. The producers worked for the studio, not him, he had others who would question his decisions, make changes, etc. He was in charge only in so far as being the director, who does have a good deal of control, but still plenty of limits.

Not the case for the new three. It was an all-Lucas team. He was in charge, surrounded by yes men and did whatever the fuck he wanted. The result was really bad.
