Sweeney has very nice breasts but comes nowhere near prime Alexandra Daddario. It's not even a fair comparison.
I believe it's the most flawed of the prequels overall but still great 'Star Wars'. A few simple but important tweaks would have significantly enhanced the movie & the entire trilogy IMO.
1. Cast Hayden Christensen from the start as a 14-16 year old Anakin. This would have been major in helping to establish the on-screen chemistry between the three leads from the beginning & better endeared him to the audience.
2. Reduce Qui Gon Jinn's role(He stays on the ship)/remove him entirely, replaced with Obi Wan as an idealistic, eager, young Jedi who discovered Anakin formed a bond with him, and felt compelled to train him as a Jedi.
3. Tone down/Tweak Jar Jar. Simply changing Jar Jar's speech to an unintelligible alien language would have gone a long way in making him more palatable to older audiences.
F*ck Mr Plinkett & those RLM hacks whose only claim to fame is their unfunny prequel bashing "satire" over 15 years ago. Those POS hacks helped get us Di$ney Star Wars and the saga ruining Di$ney trilogy, glowingly praising the absolute dumpster fire that was The Force Awakens, ("I loved it. It was everything I hoped it would be" ~Mike 'Fat F*ck' Stoklasa) until (gutless hacks that they are) started slowly changing their tune once fans started realizing what a giant pile of shit Di$ney created.
It never was. The Phantom Menace was always good 'Star Wars' even if the overall execution didn't work for you for one reason or another. I always respected George's decision to do give the audience something unique & creative while still tying it into the established universe in a way that made since. While the most flawed of the prequel trilogy (A few key tweaks would have greatly enhanced the film & the trilogy as a whole) it was still great "Star Wars" at its core & a cinematic achievement that played a significant role in advancing special effects in film.
While it still wouldn't be great, I'd dislike Alien 3 a lot less if it existed in a vacuum in some alternate doomed continuity but it's a terrible sequel that literally killed the series & it has unsuccessfully been trying to "resurrect" itself for 30 years. It's difficult to comprehend why this dreary, hopeless, nihilistic arthouse attempt at an Alien sequel is what the studio wanted as it's difficult to imagine a less commercially appealing, crowd-pleasing Alien film than Alien 3.
If you care to read my previous reply entirely, I already explained the nuance between attitudes of Julia Roberts' character & the daughter that directly addresses your query.
"She literally said "you cant trust white people, especially in these situations"
Actually the exact quote is "If the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out EASILY to ANYONE, especially white people."
It never gets brought up in the popular narrative, but Nicole and Ron Goldman were surrounded by shady drug people and criminal activity. Nicole and her BFF Faye Resnick did a lot of "swinging" & were quite fond of the white powder. As crazy as it sounds, Nicole's sister was literally dating a mafia hitman at the time of her death. Two mutual friends of theirs Brett Canton & Micheal Nigg were murdered in eerily similar fashion around the same time. Particularly Brett Canton who was similarly stabbed to death & nearly decapitated. All the evidence that suggested at least two attackers was ignored because the LAPD only had eyes from OJ. I definitely believe the murder was the result of some sort of drug debt.
Michael Jackson and his family are on record condemning the tabloid insult as dehumanizing, thinly veiled racism & no amount of doubling and tripping down on "Nuh uh, because I say so" will change that.
"Sorry, like I said - b-llshit." aka "Nuh uh, because I say so"
I posted a direct source to the Jackson family where he & his family publicly rebuke the slur "Wacko Jacko" as a dehumanizing, racist insult. Your "I say so" routine just isn't going to cut it. If you want to use racially tinged insults to refer to black icons than at least own it instead of being a dishonest & weaselly about it.
"Why are you bringing race into this tabloid slur I insist on using to refer to Michael Jackson that Jackson and his family publicly rebuked as a dehumanizing, racist insult" i.e. "Nuh uh, because I say so"
"LOL 😂 That's pretty poor. He's been known as Wacko Jacko since the 80s due to his obsession with plastic surgery, having a pet monkey and playing with kids at his ranch. Literally everyone knows that and it has nothing to do with race..."

Michael Jackson and his family have publicly rebuked the name as the racist, dehumanizing slur that it always was. Your "Nuh uh, because I say so" logic to try to justify using it anyway simply means you don't care & as I originally suspected, get off on using it as a coded placeholder for the N word.
Again, not that it matters but Blanket is almost certainly not Michael's biological child. Perceiving some vague resemblance is one thing but you would have to be either blind or dishonest to claim that his hair is phenotypically consistent with Michael Jackson's natural hair in his youth.
"(Quite possibly, Wacko's offspring)"
*sigh* Why don't you people stop with the coded tabloid insults and just call him the N word like we all know you want to? Anyway, not that it matters but none of Michael Jackson's children are his biologically, including "Blanket". I honestly don't even see any accidental resemblance and it's very, very unlikely that a kid who has 50 percent black American ancestry is going to end up with hair that's naturally straight. Michael Jackson had naturally kinky hair which is a very strong genetic straight that nearly always gets passed on from parent to child.
I don't believe he was guilty (way too many implausibilities) but indeed even if he did, the f*ckery of the LAPD's gross mishandling of evidence, exacerbated by a corrupt, perjuring cop, with a history of planting evidence & who refused to deny that he planted evidence on Simpson(Are you f*cking kidding me?). It's a no brainer. Not guilty by reasonable doubt.
Yet its only the stormfags in here whining yet again about something else completely innocuous that was already a feature in the original movie. Something that would have been seen as idiotic & pathetic to be crying about in a significantly less "woke" time, no less.
Seriously. The first movie literally featured a multiracial/interracial couple 30 years ago & 'SHOCKER', no one gave a shit. I swear... sometimes I think these gen z stormfag bois get off on making utterly ironic asses of themselves with these kinds of race baiting, shit posts.
Reaching? No. It's called being a lying, race baiting troll trying to stoke some anti-"woke" therapy session. Not a damn thing was said about white privilege in the trailer.
While I pretty much agree, in the case of this film, it's more than just the culty, Nolanite film bros overhyping the hell out of this movie. I was genuinely baffled how this movie pulled blockbuster numbers at the box office but it seems it was getting a big push from the industry all along. My conjecture is that a lot of the artificial hype for this film is a sign that the industry is attempting to pivot away from the saturated market of stale, superhero crap that seems to be churning out more bombs than hits in recent years. Still though, it does feel rather surreal to see a competent yet unremarkable biopic film get treated like it's a unicorn farting rainbows.
I loss interest about 3 quarters of the way through. I was excited to see Eddie Murphy but the entire premise/set seems like something someone pitched as a bad joke. Akeem being drugged and raped by a hippopotamus during the events of the original movie, unwittingly fathering a child who he accepts as his heir? WTF. As awful as the set up was, there just wasn't enough Eddie Murphy. The actual lead film turns out to be the grown-up rape baby character who is just boring, unlikable & uncharismatic in every scene, making the movie a chore to sit watch. Very disappointing. At least the upcoming Beverly Hills Cop movie seems more promising.
I wouldn't say it's neither. I think "edgy try hard garbage" is actually a pretty accurate description of the movie but I still got some "very" cheap laughs out of it. I think accepting it as "so bad it's good" or rejecting it as pure, irredeemable trash are both valid, depending on your tolerance level for pure nonsense.
Hues can vary to some degree even among northern Europeans & Pugh's really aren't even THAT dark to be honest.
