As Sigmund Freud once said, sometimes a cigar is just a giant space vagina that eats men whole.

And for the record, I'm gonna give this movie an honest review and "anal-sys." I'll point out anything that's good if I see it, but still, a lot of you will say I'm one of those people that says "George Lucas ruined my childhood." Now that's just crazy talk. George Lucas didn't ruin my childhood. f***ing polio did.
Tone is how a movie feels. Movies are either like comedies or dramas or action movies or thrillers, but if you wave around the tone, you don't know what it is and your brain starts to hurt. Typically you should establish what your movie is in the first ten minutes or so. Take Ghostbusters. They establish their characters: they're witty and funny, and the audience gets that this movie is going to be some kind of lighthearted comedy thing with ghosts in it. There isn't a violent rape on a pinball machine in the first ten minutes of Ghostbusters, nor is there a pie-in-the-face gag in the opening of Citizen Kane.
Y'know, a guy named William Shakesman once said, "brevity is the soul of wit." This just means don't waste my time. You keep it nice and simple. I said stop wasting my time. Stop it!
See, in most movies, the audience needs a character to connect with. Typically this character is what's known as a "proto-gone-ist." When you're in a weird movie with, like, aliens, monsters and weirdos, the audience really needs someone who's like a normal person like them to guide them through the story. Now of course, this doesn't apply to EVERY movie, but it works best in the sci-fi, superhero, action and fantasy genres. I picked a few examples to help illustrate this point: Marty McFly, John McClane, Billy Peltzer, Sarah Connor, Neo, Charlie Bucket, Peter Parker, Cliff Secord, Johnny Rico, Rocky Balboa, and Kevin Bacon.

I'd love for Red Letter Media to do a clean version of the Plinkett reviews so I could share them with people who would be appalled at the Plinkett character.
It seriously is the best breakdown of what is wrong with those three movies.
I've only just started watching Half in the Bag last month and its got me hooked all over again on RLM's stuff.

I'm not sure if there in the same place but at the time they were doing the prequel reviews they were in the Milwaukee area. Nice to see Wisconsin comedians have a successful platform.

Just because it's dark doesn't mean it's good. My stool is dark, and doctors say that's bad, but what do they know about interior decorating? (rimshot)
