(sneaking in the door without an excuse) I find the most frustrating part of Episode II is that it took them three years to make such a lousy movie. It's as if someone was afraid to tell Lucas in all that time "this really isn't good, and in fact, it's down-right bad". On the other hand, the LOTR movies have been fabulous. Part of this certainly has to do with the promptness of their releases. I suppose the author of each respective material also might just have something to do with it .. just maybe.
I recently just saw Catch Me if You Can also and I was pleasantly surprised. The actors seemed to fit their roles extremely well and the story really held together from beginning to end. It was a bit choppy in parts, but it really is a difficult story to present in a two hour movie.
As far as whining goes, sometimes whining is completely necessary. But it should be written in triplicate and filed in three different places: your LJ, list of things I'll never have to complain about again, and finally, mailed as a random letter to some one in the bible belt. Okay, that's my way, not yours. Nevermind.
