@richkbrock I can’t believe we’re still doing this tbh

[Mike Klimo @MikeKlimo]

Well, by and large, the previous generation *didn’t* say that. Most critics at the time didn’t even say that…

[Retney 🔜 SWC LA 2027 @retneysholocron]

I genuinely can’t understand how the previous generation saw this in 2005 and said “this sucks”

@kristapley @50MPHPod I’m just in awe of your podcast. You’ve given an iconic film the attention it deserves. I cannot thank you enough! The effort you’ve put into your research is absolutely inspiring.

[Mike Klimo @MikeKlimo]

@mattzollerseitz Thank YOU. We definitely don't know what we’ve got until it's gone. ;)

[Mike Klimo @MikeKlimo]

Great read, @mattzollerseitz

Regarding Anakin’s echo of Bush’s “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists,” did you ever see this:

Anakin and Obi-Wan’s dialogue in that scene was also inspired by Ben-Hur.

"In any event, the prequels look better to me now than they did then because they’re a product of a singular consciousness with a definitive artistic signature."

@DaviWanKryze Thanks! I picked up the archives a while back, but haven’t read it yet. Hoping to get to it soon!

RIP to David Bordwell, an absolute titan of cinema. This book changed my life.

[Mike Klimo @MikeKlimo]

@mattzollerseitz Just an immeasurable loss to cinema. His book Planet Hong Kong changed my life. RIP.

[Mike Klimo @MikeKlimo]

@josh_from_xbox Sweet. I’ll definitely check it out.

@mikeryan “It’s the only prequel that kind of realizes it doesn’t have much of anything to say…”

[Mike Klimo @MikeKlimo]

Oh, man. I’m just now hearing the news. My heart goes out to his family. Such a horrible loss…

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our close friend and supremely talented author, Jonathan W. Rinzler. J.W. masterfully chronicled many Lucasfilm projects over the years. He will be missed dearly. https://t.co/m66fs08oNc

@StephenScarlata Ha! I still have the comic with the retraction that broke my heart.

[Mike Klimo @MikeKlimo]

@SaltehShio This work is beautiful my daughter really likes it! The corset and hair piece and large train bow skirt look out of this world! You did your best work here I can tell.

[Mike Klimo @MikeKlimo]

@emily7m Pretty sure it’s from The Thin Red Line score.

@hjessy_ Any idea how many outstanding votes are left in PA, not including provisionals?

[Mike Klimo @MikeKlimo]

@vmsalama It’s insulting that so many in the press will forever be lost in the “raising questions” phase.

[Mike Klimo @MikeKlimo]

@FutureBoy @jeffmason1 @JoeBiden Same. It’s just shameful.

[Mike Klimo @MikeKlimo]

@jeffmason1 @JoeBiden I see you haven’t learned a whole lot from 2016.

@PamK @ggreenwald @AdamSerwer This ^. It’s the disinformation sandwich. Mix counterfeit items with real ones.
