tezzor is one of the worst posters on SA, but he's doing the lord's work by constantly telling them that the prequels are awful and getting banned for it

for a forum that leans so heavily on "death of the author" and interpreting things wildly, there sure is a lot of groupthink in cined

i wonder how many of those cd posters were actually old enough to remember the movies and how normal people reacted to them at the time.

referring to the phantom menace -- i was a teenager so i remember well enough that most people liked the special effects because all that cgi was still novel at the time, and people might have thought that it was good because it was star wars, but other than that no one thought it was a particularly good movie overall. i recall the general sentiment at the time among fans was that it was easily the worst star wars movie ever made and your average non star wars fan might have thought it was "not that bad" at best and "stupid" at worst. keep in mind that back then that a significant number of young people had never seen star wars. along with star trek, it was perceived as dumb poo poo for nerds by a lot of people. if you advertised yourself as a star wars fan in school, you probably got made fun of for it. star wars was nowhere near as ubiquitous as it is today, despite all the books and video games and poo poo you still had then.

the other two movies basically went under my radar because i was in college by then and i had other priorities. the main thing i remember is people thought revenge of the sith was better than the previous two. i do specifically remember the initial reaction on these forums being generally if not overwhelmingly positive, which in retrospect goes to show you how bad everyone thought the first two were by then.

I think its important that he nipped the prequels nostalgia in the bud right now before the internet lets it fester. One of my friends thinks the prequels are better than the classic trilogy and it makes me sick.

That sounds horrible to listen to. It was kind of lame for them to trash free form jazz in the review which actually has a lot of complex theory going on in it. Jazz in general is pretty cool from a technical perspective but I'm not too into it.

If they want to be elitist assholes then the first thing you take down is smooth jazz.

No actually, it seems like majority of people who watch these movies, whether they are a fan of the comics or not, really enjoy them. It only seems that really anal, un-humorous people dislike them, hth.

Since I'm a lady is it okay if I still talk about Jay and how I want to marry him? Note that I've never talked about his cum.

I'm assuming most people have annotations off, but on that last HitB it said in the beginning something like "we're hacks! We forgot to account for theaters' take of the box office."
