...and longer. Its like they are becoming the filler and the good stuff is measured in minutes and seconds. The closet thing to sci fi I liked at a moview theater in the past year was The X Files. Not really sci fi, and the conspiracy/paranoia thing does wear thin if you focus on it too much but I was at least able to enjoy the movie. The other stuff starts making me so mad I want to throw something at the screen. Like watching Jodie Foster chew up the scenery in the pod in Contact as she is exposed to the "wonders" of her otherworldy journey. Gads, I wanted to puke!Sigh. I'd love to see Lucas go back to the original premise of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back in the next installment of the prequel. But its two strikes for the preteen demographic / merchandising opportunity with his last two outings so I'm not holding my breath...
