Attack of the Clowns
We watched Attack of the Clones last night. Deb had never seen it, and I, amazingly, had only seen it once in the theater. It was far better than I remembered it being. Which didn’t prevent us from making fun of parts of it, but she really liked it, cheese and all.
In part, I didn’t go see it again out of disappointment, but mainly it was some kind of inertia that prevented my returning to the theater. I was similarly disappointed with The Phantom Menace, if slightly less so, yet I returned to the theater to see it another seven times. Didn’t get bored with it until the first time I watched it on video.
I still have trouble seeing how he will fit everything that must happen in a third installment into the third installment without there being two of them or it being a 4 hour film. Which I suppose is my biggest reason for looking forward to it; to see whether, or how badly, Lucas blows it.
