MMM Commentary for Star Wars - Clone Wars Volume 1

MMM Commentaries

After a few quiet years, 2008 was the time when Star Wars became once more ahem animated In recognition of the Clone Wars film ( is it a film? ) and TV show MMM turns its eyes to a long time ago in an animation studio far far away: the original Clone Wars (gee that name turns up a lot) series for the Cartoon Network.;In three to five minute bites, the check-shirted One and his acolytes filled in the blanks on the attritic war between the Republic and the Separatists when Anakin wasn't such a bad guy, IG-88 was still a steel sapling and Obi-Wan was trying out the latest in armour-cape combinations.;Being an MMM Star Wars commentary there is plenty of discussion of the nature of the animation, the hero's story arc and the logistical importance of the Clone Wars story line. Of course there's time for topics like: Who does Dooku root for in battle? Why don't the Jedi just push planets into the Sun and is it racist that the most dangerous jobs always fall to Mace.;Another year, another Star Wars project. Join us. read less

Warning - this commentary does contain some inappropriate language. The film itself also is an R Rated film in many countries.;After a mysterious three months MMM completes the Vanity Projects with Trev's cobalt gem - Michael Mann's Heat.;Since 1995, Trev has seen this azure masterpiece an obscene number of times and even wanted to call one of his children Waingro.;This makes him the perfect guide to the 160+ minute journey through the underworld of LA as two cinematic heavyweights try to act each other off the strontium tinted screen.;Join Trev and the MMM team as they wax rhapsodic about how Mann avoids the usual cop film cliches, assembles a stellar cast and discharges weapons in the steets with gay abandon.

It was night and we were wearng sunglasses. Truth is, as a cult website it would be remiss of MMM to ignore one of the most mainstream cult hits of all time: car chases, pile ups, Minnie the Moocher and cameos galore all backed up by Chicago locations in AD 1980 ( ie after Daley). MMM changes tack and turns up the volume as we go back to the days when John Belushi and John Landis ruled the cinema and where Carrie Fisher was that chick from Star Wars. Learn about the third Blues Brother, the invisible band member and how they did that mall scene. And if you think you spotted Steven Spielberg at the the finale, hang on for one more guest appearnace over the closing credits. MMM takes a ride in the Bluesmobile 25th anniversay version And remember, we've like BOTH kinds of music... And be back next time for the next Vanity Project... what will it be? read less

Trev's greatest hour, or one of them came with this senational climax to the third season of Blake's Seven. End of season cliffhangers had become part and parcel of the show but this is the story that really shook the fans up. Trev was one of those fans and he still shakes today ( but that may be the vertical hold).;When Avon takes the Liberator to a secret the location the rest of the crew are puzzled and suspicious. But his final goal shocked everyone. Meanwhile an apparently innoucuous space cloud brings a threat that takes the greatest casualty so far. And what has it all to do with Servelan?;MMM follows Trev down memory lane with this return to the land of the Links.;Find out what was in the wind for Servelan and Avon in the future. See if you agree with the team's description of Avon's "fatal flaw" and look for 2001 rip offs.;All this plus paint guns, carbonite and enigmamtic smiles in the latest chapter of our Blakes Seven fourplay. read less
