The prequel trilogy is bonkers. PHANTOM MENACE is rife w/ broad and offensive African-American, Japanese, and Jewish minstrelsy. ATTACK OF THE CLONES (which is the least watchable of the three) at least I guess has the sober idea that technology created to serve civilization will eventually destroy it. By the third chapter the U.S. had invaded a foreign country to seize its resources and started attacking the civil liberties of its own citizens, so George Lucas clearly felt smart about having the Senate cede all its power to Emperor Palpatine. But who needs sociopolitical commentary from George Lucas?!

Of course the rise of Palpatine sequence now seems timely and cogent again.  :lookingup: The fact that it's JJ Binks who persuades the Senate to crown Palpatine is pretty funny somehow (unintentionally). There are a lot of white Binkses in politics right now.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2

I added a couple words to THEY WILL KILL YOU's title in my original post so I guess that doesn't speak highly of that film being memorable, either.  :lookingup:     A very quick one:

OH WHAT A KNIGHT! (1928):
Pre-Mickey Disney short w/ Willie's contemporary "Oswald the Rabbit", another proto-Mickey/proto-Bugs. He's just Mickey but he's a rabbit, he's got a mule-ish friend who is sort of Goofy or Pluto, and he has a cute girlfriend who's a cat (so Advantage: Oswald). She's trapped in a tower and protected by a big mean knight ("Pete" in a suit of armor) as well as an enormous lion (her dad, maybe?). This is a refreshing slice of pre-code animation where characters can lose their clothes briefly, the bad guy can get stabbed repeatedly in the @$$, and if Muufy's tail is bitten off by an alligator, he can just pull it right back out to full length again. (Phew.)     3.5/5    Entirely pleasant.

It was never a big deal. So many big names opted out. It's a tradition that won't really be missed.
