Another post to prepare you mentally for the pending re-release of the most disappointing film ever made.
Television Without Pity shares its thoughts about the Phantom Menace. The opening lines of this video may be the best. Omar G: "You like Star Wars, right?" Pablo G: "I guess. I'm not really sure anymore." My sentiments exactly. Follow the link for more.
I don't know who Will Muschamp is, some sort of athlete I suppose. Football player by the looks of him but I'm just guessing and I can't be bothered to Google it and find out.
I know all I need to know about him already thanks to this exchange during a press conference: he's awesome. Since when did it become legitimate to make prequel references in a public forum? Will's not having it. Way to go, Will.
Here's the transcript:
Reporter: Excuse the Star Wars reference, but you kind of have a master vs. padawan thing going on between you and Nick (Saban).
Muschamp: What's a padawan?
Reporter: You've never seen Star Wars?
Muschamp: Haaa?
Reporter: You guys ...
Muschamp: I watched Star Wars I and after that I watched "The Empire Strikes Back" and I ain't seen nothing after that.
Reporter: Well, uh ...
Muschamp: I don't know what a padawan is. You didn't call me a bad name, did you? I don't speak French either.
Reporter: You guys have a kind of master vs. student kind of thing going on. Is there any sentiment in that? I'm sure you learned a lot from Nick Saban.
Muschamp: Sure
Reporter: Can you talk a little bit about the sentiment of what your mindset is ...
Muschamp: My mindset's to do a great job for the Univerisity of Florida on Saturday.
I think I've just found a new motto for this blog: "I watched Star Wars I and after that I watched "The Empire Strikes Back" and I ain't seen nothing after that."

As for his choice of movies, his long-time press secretary Karl Belanger said that Mr. Layton was “a big Star Wars fan, so it is quite fitting that he watched that movie.”
