yes it is! couldn't find it the last time i looked, the hardest part to watch about this clip is the auditions for anakin skywalker

i love watching this documentary, george lucas seems like a stoned zombie on auto pilot through out the entire preproduction and shooting process, and hilarious to watch him invite Spielberg over to show off how awesome the props were for Phantom Menance, you can tell spielberg is not too thrilled

yeh the anakin auditions are currently cringing my soul down to that of a shriveled old grandma

'are you an angel'

Kevin Bacon

i cant stop watching this 70 minute review, it's pretty great

Naaaataaalieee POo0rtmaaaan!

I've always hated the lip-movement of Viceroy Nute Gunray and his colleagues and because of the "Making of The Phantom Menace" documentary I now know why that is. When they test out the mask and the mask-designer tells the guy wearing it to say "Exaggerated dialogue" she gets all excited and says "Uuuh yeah, it KINDA moves".

just started but Pro-to-gone-ist loll

this is amazing.

it's so much more entertaining than the actual movie

hah i didn't even realize they would include some of the best parts from the making of doc in this

after first screening 'i think i may have gone too far in some places' george lucas

george lucas should have let someone else direct these like he did with the first two sequels.

I would pay big bucks to force jorge to watch the review clockwork orange eye lids peeled open like 11 times. I also wouldnt mind if this guy could continue his hatred for bad movies and had his own review show.

yes x2. the reviewers got class.

haha, the making of also acts as a pretty good review of why the movie/s were so bad. i used to think a good director is all it wouldve taken to make the prequals good (ala empire') but watching the making of... there's nothing anyone could've done to fix this..

this is clinical and brilliant and his voice is fucking ridiculous

clinical or cynical?

I say what I mean, sir

this thing is fucking excellent, not only in how it rips the prologues but points out WHY the originals are so good.

lol I had to back and watch middle of part 5 when hes going over the pod race bet, shiiiit made lolz soo fucking hardcore when I first watched it

hahahahah fuckin jorge

this was fucking swell i gotta say.

the part about force run was spot on! what the fuck.

I'm postin the natalie portman rap in the GB, check it out she gets major fucking props from me for this!

george lucas stabbed me in the back with phantom menace. He never got what was so good about the originals. It was all an accident, a product of the time apparently. There was just enough technology in the 70's and 80's for George not to get lazy I think

this is brilliant

Fucking lol. This was so great.

how anyone can take a man with his hairstyle seriously is way beyond my powers of comprehension
