Believe me, I'm famous in some threads for getting us hopelessly off topic.@BarsoomcoreJackie Chan? False ginseng? Mahjong (sorry, I can't speel)? Drunken boxing? I sincerely hope we're talking about the same movies. Otherwise, both of us are pretty lost. I know it's not a series, but it gets lengthy if you create a special group just for that movie, and everyone else caught what I meant.I'm not talking about movies being just loved for reasons beyond the fact that they have tact and grace (considering most people don't, that would be a ridiculously shallow thing to say). It's more along the lines of something I didn't see anyone state and that certain people needed to be reminded of: movies can make money, even LOTS of money, even if they suck, or, in the case of most of the movies on the list (I don't watch crappy movies, thanks, so I don't know what bad ones to list) just lack a little bit of...tact.Oh, and don't worry. Same here, to quote you:I guess we both think the same thing. Don't worry, I'll have hurt your feelings before this is over. I argue rather agressively. Wait, did I say argue? I meant discuss.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />A short reply (I swear) to Vigilance:So Lucas makes these movies on his own dime. And he makes TONS of money off them, because they're famous. Guess where your money goes when you go to see the movie, or when your theatre buys the reel? That's right, straight to Lucas. So he's making a lot more money for making it with his own two cents.In addition, most conceptualists really don't put a lot into making the film. Scriptwriters usually, to my understanding, stick around the movie scene and the director, well, directs. And good movies come out that way. Why can't Lucas sit back and let someone take charge?I'm sorry, I forgot. It's because of his hopelessly large ego.Just don't make him out to be a saint, he's not.</blockquote>
