Funny , I get that objectively or as close to that as I can muster AotC is worse than TPM , but I just find AotC more bearable to rewatch than TPM . Maybe it ' s just the orgasmic seismic bomb sound , or maybe it ' s because TPM had more scenes where it feels like the plot is going nowhere , but not even the Darth JarJar theory can make that movie into a decent watch , I always end up either fastforwarding to or blanking out until the podrace and the lightsaber duels . <| sep |> Yes , but it was also said by a sitting President . Just demonstrates how pervasive that thinking became in post war US . <| sep |> OP can deliver a delicious response if required . <| sep |> It ' s ok though . I ' m looking forward to seeing my cousins . We were really close when we were kids but we ' ve drifted the last few years . Nevertheless we always have a good time together . I ' m pretty excited about the date but I got to play it cool . He and I are part of the same friend group so I don ' t want to make it into a big deal . Too many people will be disappointed if things don ' t work out .
