New respect for MSNBC
This is so funny - check out the "Star Wars" review:

"The purity ends with “Empire.” The planets stay pure (desert, ice, swamp, forest), but light (Luke) and dark (Darth) are forever intertwined. Back then I was against it, and felt betrayed by George Lucas. I was a whiny teenager myself who craved absolutes. As an adult I appreciate the revelation. Luke’s dilemma is every boy’s dilemma. You mean my father’s not a great man? You mean my father’s a dick? You mean I might become like him? Purity is for children, and first films."

I read it then paused and thought. "Did MSNBC actually use the slang term "dick" in a movie review? Online? Regarding a major motion picture?" I re-read it and it is there. So funny to me and such a cavalier irreverent bit gives me new respect for the website.

Also...overall it's a very accurate and funny review of the series.
