NFL 2015 Week 15 |OT| - A Frauds Misses

I just finished them all. 1 is bad. 2 is okay outside of the love story. 3 is okay.
I watched the original trilogy for the first time as an adult.
I think I like Episode IV the best. It's a legitimately funny/charming movie. Empire Strikes back is awesome. Return of the Jedi is the weakest, but it's still better than any of the prequels. The Ewok stuff brings it down.
It also seemed more self-aware of the phenomenon. Seemed to have an influence on the story.
tastes bad too but if i drink it fast enough and start drinking something after my back doesnt hurt anymore and i dont have to do heroin like chan
It's not bad if you funnel it.
No. I have only seen the films with the Lucas bullshit.

I still have my original VHS copies. If you want them on dvd, good fucking luck. Scuttlebutt has it Lucas hunted down and destroyed every copy of the non-enhanced version he could. There are still some theater reels out there in private hands, but they are under lock and key.
That's because you can't afford opiates. Fuckin poor

I have watched all six with my eight year old daughter, and even at that age, when we finished Phantom Menace, she said "that one wasn't so good."
I'm looking forward to taking her to see the new one, PG13 be damned.

I think Episode I is better than Episode II, but that's like comparing the positives of being blind vs deaf.
You can skip I and start watching II and there wouldn't really be anything you'd miss at all.
She's a smart one. Nice that she recognises that that movie is full of shit.

Not the point. I think I is a better overall movie than II, regardless of the rest of the series. II is absolutely terrible. It can be summed up with "I don't like sand."
I'm betting your daughter is a better actor than that sorry pos they had play Anakin in that movie.
Real talk, Mark Hamil is the worst actor in the series.
I saw Ep. I in the theater 7 times as a teenager, bought the DVD as soon as it came out and watched it a bunch more times. I had convinced myself it was good. Was super hyped for Ep. II and then they announced the title and it suddenly hit me "These movies are really fucking cheesy and stupid." Saw Ep. II and that realization was solidified as truth. Barely even cared about Ep. III, saw it once in the theater and again until a couple years ago when I watched it with my kids. It sucked and all the prequels suck.
I was so burned by that it took me awhile to get excited about the new trilogy. The first trailer did it though. Don't let me down Abrams!

It's fruit gasoline and easily the worst thing I have ever put into my body.

I mean lets not disgrace the word cheesy. All of Star Wars is cheesy by nature.

She didn't like Portman's acting.
Phantom Menace can be summed up by midichlorians. It's easy to be reductive.

How did that work out for them.

Yeah but part of that is that Luke Skywalker is probably the least interesting character in the series. Anakin was supposed to be much more complex but was still done horribly.
That's not a good excuse. And yeah, Portman's acting wasn't convincing either, though her best moment was the freedom dies to applause.
I believe this is called the Wade Phillips curse.

Tell me what it is you like about Episode II. Since you felt the need to defend it.
That was the point. Empire Strikes Back is cheesy. Star Wars has always been cheesy. But it's very possible to make good cheesy movies and bad cheesy movies. The prequel are the later.

I wanted this Grievous...
Me too... God, that sucked. They made him look like such a weak enemy.
Yoda vs Dooku.. Better than just about everything in one to me.
I am not critical of anyone in those movies b/c of the dialog they had to endure. Portman has to forever live with the Younglings line, poor gal
I'm arguing that I is worse than II not that II is good.

The new movie better be amazing for so much hype.
There is even star war ice cream.

Well you felt the need to interject and raise one piece of shit over another piece of shit, I'm just curious why in your opinion piece of shit B is better than piece of shit A.
I just want it to be enjoyable. Which I can't really say about the prequel trilogy. I have faith that Abrams will make a decent Star Wars movie. And glad they are switching directors for 8 and 9 even if one of them is the guy who did Jurassic World.
Because I particularly hate Jar Jar Binks and Jake Lloyd's acting. The mother in the movie (I don't even remember if she's ever named) is awful as well. Like I brought up before, the movie could have never happened, and they have like a five minute scene at the beginning of 2 with Anakin meeting Obi Wan and it never needed to exist.
That's not to say any of the acting or script work is anything good in the prequels. Abrams has it right with more practical effects and less of acting against tennis balls. That's why I give Ewan McGregor some credit for dealing with the schlock for three movies.

It won't be amazing.
But it will be the best one they've made in 35 years. For most people that will be enough.

I'm gonna piss all of you off by saying that I think the prequels are more entertaining than the originals after watching all 6 recently. The originals are obviously better movies from top to bottom but the spectacle of the prequels greatly outweighs the old ones.
ESB used to be my favorite but now it's probably either ROTJ or ROTS.
Past that, like 80% of AOTC and TPM is god awful. ANH is whatever.
