Re: Looks like a whole lotta

loverboy,

i'm not talking about popularity. the fact is, most people are just trying to get through life and never think about reaching higher than humanity's current trajectory. they can watch tripe all they want, and i won't stop them. that doesn't mean that tripe is nourishing.

Eddie said -

Quote:"that being said, the "star wars" movies are for people who just want to sit there and fantasize about the possible uses of "the force" (maybe yanking off a hot chick's clothes from three feet away?)."

^That's stupid... surprised it was -you- who would say this!

Hey Eddie, don't overlook the 'nourishing tripe' that -you- admit to enjoy watching (over SW films) - Final Fantasy and Minority Report...

those movies have so many ideas that i watch them at least once every year.

You should watch them more often, since they have 'nourishing tripe'. But hey, seriously I'm sure others here watch their SW films more than once a year, and/or Kubrick's 2001 (Chris' favorite!).

loverboy, i know you like this movie.

No, I'd rather see that other one... Indiana Jones and the Lost Corona... especially after drinking some Jack Daniels with Tim!

"...that doesn't mean that tripe is nourishing." --Eddie

Actually, tripe is quite nourishing--high in protein, low in fat.

I enjoyed "The Mummy" and "Dawn of the Dead" last week in high def. Very good tripe.

Hey now, don't get me mixed up in this. I've always known Eddie is picky in his tastes but he's always been a stand up guy and a good friend. Hell, one of my best friends I work with drives me nutts with his limited taste in music -- the guy is literally harder to please than music critics themselfs! And, ironically, he still has 80s hair to his waist and has the IQ of a rocket scientist. Go figure?

While I don't agree with Eddie's take on the Star Wars films, as I too am like most people and enjoy the films for the pure popcorn entertainment that they are. However, I will agree with him that many of the acting performances are dog vomit. You have to remember, Eddie has done a lot of film study and has probably opened his mind to several film noirs that many of us have no clue of. It doesn't mean his tastes are right or better than everyone elses, it just means he has a broader perspective of films and that can make it easy to weed out the trash, or easier to see the garbage American's manage to dish out as great works of art. If I remember correctly, Eddie's not a big fan of 2001, either -- another film with much critical claim. Eddie's just hard to please, and you know, there's no rule on the planet against that so there's nothing wrong with it.

Again, I don't want to get dragged into this because I agree and disagree with the both of you on the whole Star Wars thing. I'm afraid my input would just casue more chaos, so let's all agree to disagree, yes?
