[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 7888472, member: 50987"] I know you guys are talking about Star Wars, and imma let you finish, but regarding Expectation vs. Reality at the box office: My wife and I went to the movies last weekend to see "Cats," because we had heard nothing but bad things about it and wanted to judge the spectacle for ourselves. By all accounts this movie was supposed to be a disaster, absolute garbage, a raging trash-fire. When people tell us "Oh man, that was weird," we shout "Gimme!!" Well. Yes, it's bizarre. You see, cats are people. Or cats, or cat-people, depending on the scene and the song. They sing about themselves in nonsense rhyme, with their human faces floating unattached to CGI cat heads which are floating unattached to their CGI cat-person bodies. We watched James Corden swallow a whole shrimp the size of a cucumber. We watched Gandalf lap water out of a bowl. We saw Taylor Swift's song-and-dance number, and we're probably Furries now. And even with all this, we didn't hate it. Sure, our expectations were set so low that it was virtually impossible for us to be disappointed. But we were more than just "not disappointed," we were pleasantly surprised. It's not [I]raging trash-fire[/I] bad, it's just [I]regular[/I] bad. And we enjoy tons of bad movies. We'd probably watch it again. Morale of the story: [S]CleverNickName is a colossal wierdo[/S] the Internet lies, so always form your own opinions. [/QUOTE]
