6Revenge of the Sith By the time Revenge of the Sith hit theaters in 2005, it seemed some things came together for the prequel trilogy. The story of Anakin Skywalker was reaching its conclusion. George Lucas had refined things a bit. Less Jar Jar, more of what people want to see. Lightsabers. Space battles. Meaningful drama. And, at the time, many fans assumed this was the last Star Wars movie they were ever going to see. The final product is the closest the prequels came to delivering a truly great movie. And it paid off. People wanted to see how this played out. Riding a wave of generally positive reviews, at least compared to the preceding two movies, Episode III earned an extremely good $848.9 million at the box office, including $468.7 domestically. Even taking its $115 million production budget into account, this was a home run. It turned out not to be the final entry in the Skywalker saga though, thanks in large part to Disney. … [Read more...] about Every Star Wars Movie Ranked by Box Office Performance

‘Euphoria’ Special Part 2 Recap: A Trip Through Jules’ Mind
“Fuck Anyone Who’s Not a Sea Blob” is slightly less of an acoustic duet. Much of it takes place in Jules’ first session with her new therapist, Dr. Mardy Nichols (Lauren Weedman), as if Schafer and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, who co-wrote the episode and directed it, were huge fans of HBO’s late, great, and soon-to-be-rebooted drama In Treatment. But while Weedman is excellent, the nature of her role as a mental health professional makes this a more different conversation than the one Rue and Ali had. Dr. Nichols is there to listen, not share painful details from her own life, so this isn’t a two-hander like the last special.
