He's seen it. It's rubbish
More randomness of the filmic kind. At The Corner, of the National Review Online, Jon Podhoretz gives his opinion on the next (and final *crosses fingers*) instalment in George Lucas' career Star Wars franchise - "Even Yoda gives a rotten performance".. Ouch. Via the Insta-Dude

Find his arse with both hands that critic could not. Yes.

RotS featured in Mayo's show on Five Live this afternoon. Their opinion was generally positive, but I am instinctively wary, given the last two 'films'. I suppose the best way to look at it is this - at the very least, Anakin will get the mother of all beatings :)

Much as I may not particularly like Mayo, his film stuff is generally good. Of course, unsurpisingly, resident critic Mark Kermode was not one of the people on the show to talk about it.

Ah.. you didn't say Mark Kermode was the resident critic.

Posted by: peteb at May 10, 2005 07:12 PM


As in.. we would usually agree with Mark Kermode's verdict.
