The only movie I was criticizing was "King Kong". I saw that film during my Christmas vacation and I had to chose from either that of "Cheaper By the Dozen 2".
I would've walked out early, in fact I was planning on it, but I didn't as me, along with the rest of my family, had nothing better to do and I was afraid that when I came home, a certain UD member would say I wasn't quailified to judge the movie!
If you're referring to Brokeback and Howl, you're right, I never did see them, I have some negative info on their backrounds, but you're right, I never saw them, I admit it, but I never judged the films at all. In fact, I even edited my picks!

1. I was joking so all I did was rewrite your quote!
2. Did Natalie Portman REALLY say that? Well if she did, I wouldn't be too surprised. She probably just prefers dramas and romance comedies instead of action "blockbusters" so she would've had the same experience if she was on "King Kong" or "The Lord of the Rings", so you could hardly blame Star Wars!
Look I'm not saying Christensen or Portman were "great". I though Ian was great, and Ewan McGregor and all the other actors were really good, but those two were probably slightly above averege at best.
But hey, they were not nearly as bad as you, and a few others, make them out to be, and for the "little" efforts they made, they were pretty good!
As for Black, I could tell he was "trying" but he ended up being lame. He was obviously rushing most of the time like he was ready to take a 20 minute break from shooting, and he said those classic lines so terrible, they could be made for comic relief. Not to mention it was completely unbelieveable and at time it looked like he was actually reading a giant card of what he was supposed to say. He did a MUCH MUCH MUCH WORSE job than any actor in Sith THAT'S for sure.
Memo to Peter Jackson- while you actually hire an editor for your next film, make sure to never use an actor who plays in alot of "B-rated" comedies to get most of your screen time in what's supposed to be a "action-drama".
BTW- It's a real shame we're argueing in the "Poll and Games" section! I could've gotten post counts with some of this good stuff I'm writing!
