super sweet best pal posted:I thought it was the most Star Wars of the three. Still bad though. This is only because of the Tatooine desert scenes. Just because the sets look good doesn't excuse the dialogue and acting in those scenes, I mean this movie made Liam Neeson want to retire. This movie introduced midichlorians ffs.

Agreed, they are absolute garbage. I saw them in theatres in my early teens and maybe once or twice years after. I have no desire to see them again, there's no sense that if a few things were tweaked they might be ok. They are garbage children's movies with fantastically terrible characters, dialog, and plots. The CG has aged horribly and they look like poo poo. If you are an adult or a child with any taste you are not the target audience and should not be thinking about these movies any more so than the live action cat in the hat or some other awful forgotten children's movie. Then again I could say the same for comic book movies but it's for some reason become acceptable for adults to admit to seeing them.

The Matrix movies are exponentially uglier than any of the prequels.

The sound design of the prequels was good. But then Ben Burtt is a god at making space noises. The Podrace, however you feel about it, is a mechanical ear orgasm.

I think it's okay to admit to seeing them and just enjoying them on a superficial level as light entertainment - but it's pathetic when people get into arguments about them and care about them way more than they warrant. I watched part of X-Men First Class on cable recently (sober) and at one point I just started busting out laughing hysterically at how loving silly this stuff is - all these people with special powers flying around and fighting in goofy outfits - and the idea of adults having Very Serious Opinions about this stuff and devoting large portions of their lives into thinking about it and getting all emotional about it. I'm not saying anything new here obviously but the ridiculousness of this whole thing just hit me really hard suddenly. I imagined aliens or people in the future looking at our lives and just being completely puzzled by the importance we put on these goofy entertainment properties. (And I'm not talking about just casually discussing them like we do in this thread - I'm talking about the kind of people who write angry screeds at RLM for having the wrong Star Wars opinions).

According to the goonhirim I'm weird for never liking the prequels, the walking dead, gotham, or NOFX. Whether it's because I'm a forums grandpa or a fake geek, I'm okay with this.

And the Walking Dead is terrible, I saw one (or maybe it was two) episodes of that trash at a friend's recommendation and just hated it. Also Terminator is better than Terminator 2. a bone to pick posted:this is why knights of the old republic is the only good thing to come out of star wars EU It's just too bad the art direction in them is generally just terrible.

That scene where all the cool kids show off their powers in a lounge took me right out of the movie. If their dialog was just "exposition exposition exposition" it would have been more natural.

This is an incredibly weird time we're living in, i agree. I'm still wondering when the bubble will burst and superhero movies, comic book movies, etc stop being so popular. They will never disappear entirely (after all, there are still Westerns) but there's got to be a point where they arent the number 1 at the box office anymore and studios stop making so many of them. Same thing goes for "geek culture" in general. When will it recede? Its been going strong for like a decade already.

I like Force Awakens. Not because I think it's good, it's ok, but because after I saw it a fellow I know that's a middle aged man with serious opinions about The Star Wars was crying to me about how it ruined the jedi, and the force, and turned it all into a "clown show." In that moment I understood on a deep fundamental level that I no longer gave the slightest gently caress about anything Star Wars, and never wanted to see it or discuss it again. So thanks J.J. Abrams for breaking that man and ensuring I'll never end up like him.

If you like the prequels you're either completely tuned out, experiencing unprecedented levels of cognitive dissonance, or outright hate Yoda's amazing dissertation on what the force is and how it works. That 20 seconds is the emotional core of the whole drat thing. HOW can anyone like the prequels????????

Idk I just thought "How long can dumb rear end rubes seriously keep going to see the same thing before they start getting bored" and my insides said "about a bit less than a decade" and then I asked how long it'd take before some dumb rear end movie executive would figure out the next recipe to make a billion dollars and thought "about a decade after that"
