    Epic 70-Minute Phantom Menace Review Justifies the Existence of The Phantom Menace

    My goodness. At the beginning, I thought the author was a slack-jawed, cleaver-wielding, back country psychopath...and I guess I was right. But, boy, does he know about filmmaking and storytelling. I busted out in nods and chuckles at least a dozen times. And it made me wonder if Lucas will ever again create something as artful, heartfelt, and as genuine as Star Wars.

    300 bucks for that crappy five minute movie? Those special effects were terribad.

    Try 214.83 U.S. dollars (150 euros) and a pizza for the spectacular What's In The Box video--nine minuites of epic win

    That front angle shot is cool, although it makes me think cockpit visibility would be terrible. Yes, it could probably split other yachts in two, and it is likely to do so because it can't see them.

    The side shots look pretty ho-hum, though.

    Given the confusion, lack of information and overall shadiness about this process, I wouldn't be surprised if most customers don't receive the gift card email by the 23rd.

    B&N's explanation? "We did send it out on the 23rd but any delays were caused by the delivery company so contact them...but we don't have a tracking number for you."

    This was handled very poorly by B&N. There's no need for me to go into it at length but read their forums and see how they've flat out lied to customers.

    Funny how proportions work.
    You put a helicopter on top of this thing and all of the sudden it does not look that big.
    It almost looks like the helicopter would have to land on a dime.

    I would not buy anything less than 300 Ft. boat.

    @Molly Mahoney Matthews: That would be great IF the ushers did ANYTHING.
    Movie theaters are so concerned about not losing business in this regard that they wont do anything. I've complained a couple times regarding extremely rude behavior. Only once has anyone actually tried to say anything to the offending party, and that guy caused such a scene (because he was a "regular paying customer just TRYING to enjoy himself") that HE got free tickets for another show.

    Theater owners want to keep jackasses like that, then they lose me...

    @Benguin: "Papyrus is often criticized by graphic designers and others for being overused or used incorrectly in various media. Interviewed in 2007, the typeface's creator, Chris Costello, agreed that Papyrus had become overused."

    Pretty much overused everywhere.

    Actually having a vertical prow like that is more stable in small and medium seas. Rather than having to go up over every wave and rocking the ship the bow slices through them. In rough seas there is a danger of having waves wash over the deck more but as long as the ship has water tight upper decks it should be fine.
