Not the Droids you were looking for?

A parody Facebook public profile I whipped up, using MarkyBon's photo of R2-D2 and C-3PO as the "profile photo". See the original size for detail.

Attack of the Clones review

Review of Star Wars-- Episode 2: Attack Of The Clones by Roger Ebert

For those actually surfing in, I won't reveal what Ebert thinks of the movie. However, this quote was interesting, keeping with his disdain for digital video projection: "Digital images contain less information than 35mm film images, and the more you test their limits, the more you see that. Two weeks ago I saw "Patton" shown in 70mm Dimension 150, and it was the most astonishing projection I had ever seen--absolute detail on a giant screen, which was 6,000 times larger than a frame of the 70mm film. That's what large-format film can do, but it's a standard Hollywood has abandoned (except for IMAX), and we are being asked to forget how good screen images can look--to accept the compromises."
