At a matinee of “Ice Age” today with Dave and Susan, saw the new Episode II trailer for the first time. Unfortunately, it didn’t quiet any of my fears about the movie, which is just two months from release. This one was all explosions and flying and jumping and stuff being thrown at your head. I understand that the movie should be exciting and interesting, and a Star Wars movie should make an effort to show you things you would never see otherwise. But this was just too much. There’s such a thing as trying too hard, shouting “Look at me! Like me! Aren’t I cool?”
Memo to George Lucas: “Star Wars – Starfighter” is a video game. “Star Wars” is a movie. The difference is crucial, and I think you may have forgotten it.
So….how was Ice Age?
Ice Age was way funnier than I expected. I found the scene where the sloth is burrowing through the field of dodo absolutely hysterical!
