[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 2132827, member: 4720"] Fair enough. And it wouldn't do much good anyway. Even here, people's opinions on movies of any stripe aren't really going to be influenced by a logical argument. Besides, much of the "logic" we cling to depends greatly on our own point of view. Witness the recent thread on Star Wars: [url]http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=124312[/url] That thread had a series of conversations that went like this: Conversant 1: "I like Star Wars." Conversant 2: "Here are 73 logical reasons why that makes you a smacktard." Irksome Greek chorus: "Smacktard! Smacktard! Smacktard! Lucas sucks!" Convesant 1: "Thank you for your analysis. Here are 74 logical reasons why George Lucas is better than you." Conversant 2: "No, no, thank you. But here are [b]75[/b] logical reasons George Lucas is a smacktard." Irksome Greek chorus: "Smacktard! Smacktard! Smacktard! pwned!" Conversant 1: "I know you are, but what am I?" Conversant 2: "A smacktard" Irksome Greek chorus: "Smacktard! Smacktard! Smacktard! I really want to direct." Conversant 1: <sigh> "I like Star Wars" But, to get back on topic... I too am usually a dialogue freak (a condition I relax for Star Wars movies). And, on further review, I think that's what turned me off the second trailer. It continued to promise an intriguing visual style without showing much of anything else. Of course, trailers can be deceiving, and the visual style alone is probably enough to get me to part with my money when it comes to the university cinema, so I'll find out about the rest of it eventually. :) [/QUOTE]
