This review is <em><strong>fantastic<\/strong><\/em>. It\u2019s brutal, funny and, at times, a truly bizarre dissection of the Star Wars \u201cprequel\u201d. The reason I was able to sit through all seven ten minute segments is because this isn\u2019t a two-bit hack job by a bored teenager with a pirated copy of Final Cut Pro. This is a detailed analysis of the plot, characters and structure of the film by a filmmaking professional. It\u2019s entertaining because it\u2019s dead on\u2026 and because the reviewer likes Pizza rolls and appears to have a woman tied up in his basement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.little.org\/blog\/content\/binary\/WindowsLiveWriter\/Seriouslywatchthis70minutemoviereview_1285B\/image_4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"image\" border=\"0\" alt=\"image\" align=\"right\" src=\"http:\/\/www.little.org\/blog\/content\/binary\/WindowsLiveWriter\/Seriouslywatchthis70minutemoviereview_1285B\/image_thumb_1.png\" width=\"244\" height=\"137\" \/><\/a> I know, I don\u2019t believe myself.

Mr. Lindelof said: \u201cYour life is about to change. This is astounding film making. Watch ALL of it.\u201d (no, I had no idea who Damon Lindelof was either)<\/p>\n<p>So, go ahead and try it.
