Say Something Good about the Prequels
We complain about these things all the time, but there are some beautiful moments.
The light saber duel (truel? triol?) with Darth Maul may be the high point of the entire six-movie series, for example. The music, fight choreography, and drama are all fantastic. The bits where the force field cuts Obi Wan off from the other fighters is brilliant.
The other scene that comes to mind is when Anakin wipes out the Jedi school. Absolutely chilling, the child's voice and then just the shot of Anakin turning on his light saber. Wow!
Now, see how many good things you can say.

Our Unpopular Opinions
Here at Back on the Sauce, our writers and staff hold a number of unpopular opinions. Some will make you angry. Some will make you shake your head in wonder.
For instance, eshaughn hates fish. Heelzebub or whatever his name is doesn't like Dire Straits. I didn't care for the fifth Harry Potter book.
Fine, whatever, those aren't so bad. They seem like reasonable opinions.
So I will start with the real madness:
I, a science fiction/fantasy geek/guru/fanboy, REALLY didn't like The Matrix. I thought it was derivative, overacted, and a stale idea. The climax of the movie is when one character calmly tells the protagonist the entire secret of the movie. That's right, your protagonist never figured it out on his own so somebody just gave up and told him the answer at the end. Whoopty-doo. CGI and weird shots of Keanu Reeves spinning around don't excite me, so that didn't get me over the hump. Maybe if Natalie Portman had been in the movie, it could have been salvaged, much like V for Vendetta, which suffers from many of the same flaws. Or the Phantom Menace. One wonders if she just has the ability to salvage anything.
The rest of the intrepid staff is going to follow with more of their unpopular opinions. Prolly I will too. You're welcome to do the same.
JUST NO POLITICS!!!!!

If I tell you I'm watching Star Wars...
...don't freaking ask me which episode. Star Wars is Star Wars. Empire Strikes Back is Empire Strikes Back. Return of the Jedi is Return of the Jedi.
I'm watching the one called Star Wars. It's not difficult.
It's time to get real.

How can you tell if you're being hit on?
Here's a situation where I thought I was being hit on. Please share your stories.
A girl I was in high school with had 50 cents of mine for some reason. We were at a cast party for a school play. Maybe I loaned the money to her, I can't remember. Anyway, she took the two quarters and slid them into her bra. Then she said, "Come and get it." I think she was hitting on me. Then she said "Want to take a walk?" I think that was a sign.
Do you think she was hitting on me? It's a little hard to be flattered because when I didn't respond, she went off and started flirting with a 13-year-old.

Homey say what?
My next fun music game... Songs that don't mean at all what you thought they did when you first heard them.
Item the First: Unbelievable, EMF
I was an idiot, and took the title at face value, and never actually listened to the words. I think I actually told a girl that she was unbelievable, like the song, once. Oops. Let's look at that more closely:
You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
But don't listen to my replies
You say to me I don't talk enough
But when I do I'm a fool
These times I've spent, I've realized
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
The things, you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
You burden me with your problems
By telling me more than mine
I'm always so concerned
With the way you say
You've always go to stop
To think of us being one
Is more than I ever know
But this time, I realize
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
Seemingly lastless, don't mean
You can ask us
Pushing down the relative
Bringing out your higher self
Think of the fine times
Pushing down the better few
Instead of bringing out the clues
To what the world and everything anger to
Brace yourself with the grace of ease
I know this world ain't what it seems.
What the fuck was that
It's unbelievable
----------------------
Oops. So, this song is about how you're a crazy bitch, and I can't believe anything you say. But... it's so upbeat, and "happy", and stuff! I swear, I had no idea.
Next?
