Shattered Glass (2003)
At least four times I've watched that Star Wars movie in which Hayden Christensen plays Darth Vader—not because it's a great movie, but because I sometimes get fixated on a really bad movie. I eagerly await the 2005 release of the third Star Wars prequel, in which I assume Christensen has to attempt to project evil, rather than just sulking. Will they do that with some sort of computer effects? Or will Darth Vader's true evil be that he sulks relentlessly?
Ever since hearing about Shattered Glass, I've felt a moral obligation to watch it, given that I try to keep up with pop culture treatments of my scholarly specialty. Tonight I was desperate enough for diversion that I actually did watch it.
Excruciating.
Pop quiz: what exactly is the difference between Christensen in Shattered Glass and in Star Wars?
Answer: In Star Wars he wore a black cape.
