(OT) Hmmm Star Wars II Seen I Have!

Worst. Limerick. Evar.

your spell check is broken.

So that’s my capsule review. I am now firmly convinced that critics are unloading on this movie because they don’t understand and hate the SW phenomenon. No big deal, though. Film critics are the scum of the earth, right up there next to used car salesmen.

All told, a really, really good movie. If you are a Lucas hater and go in looking for stuff to hate, no doubt you’ll find it. But after seeing it, I only have pity on your miserable, wretched lives.

So there really is no middle ground for you -- if we love it, we're right, and if we found faults in it, we're miserable and wretched. Man, you're not going to have much fun hanging out on a message board with such miserable and wretched people.

I mean, please -- people have different opinions. Speak them, hear them, disagree with them, but making judgements about a person as a whole just because of the way they feel about a *movie* is just foolish!

 

[King_Stannis]

Utterl, utterly dismal.
What can I say?

This may be one of the worst movies EVER.

Will I go and see Episode 3?

Yes, I am an incorrigible optimist.

I have a suggestion. Go to the movie again, remove the cloth that you were obviously wearing around your eyes the first time as well as the ear plugs. You are allowed to use those senses when you watch a movie, you know.

just as foolish as people making a judgement about a movie based on the way they feel about a person?

some people have UNREASONABE opinions based on their personal dislike for the creator of the project. sorry, eric, but to me that needs to be called what it is - juvenile and idiotic. those are the people i was really referring to.

didn't know you were in with the lucas-vendetta-hater crowd, eric. thought you had better judgement than that. to each their own, though.

Please stop writing things like this. I used to review films for a newspaper and I don't consider myself the "scum of the earth".

You don't actually seem to believe that, though.

just as you don't believe this (as least for me), either.

all right, maybe not the scum of the earth. my apologies. still, i think alot of them are trying to make a name for themselves by piling on this movie.

Ironically, he's been insulting people for not liking a movie he himself had apparently not seen yet. Talk about making up your mind before ever seeing the movie.

I'm still waiting for links to those reviews calling lucas fans idiots.

Can you really not see a difference between:

"I hated Episode II."

and

"If you hated Episode II you're miserable and wretched, and you must have had your eyes and ears closed."

You essentially blame a person's opposing opinions on flaws in character. And that's simply no way to have any kind of civilized debate. But if your intent is to *hurt* or make people defensive, then you're succeeding. And just because others might be doing it (i.e. Rinndillar suggesting that if you don't boycott you lack integrity) doesn't mean that your similar behavior goes unnoticed. What it does for me is make me less likely to want to get into *any* kind of discussion with you in the future -- I see your tactics and a repeated pattern of personal attacks and it just makes me want to stay away. Which is a shame because I'm sure you have lots of good stuff to share.
