you all know what fanboys are right? these people that are so devoted to a single film or group of films? and it's not just that they really really like some movie alot... it's that this movie is the BEST EVER and it will KICK THE CRAP OUT OF [insert another fanboy movie here] it just gets really retarded. of course I am referring to star wars at the moment, but it is definately not the only one that suffers from this level of fan "devotion"... I shudder to think about 2003 when TWO matrix movies will come out. and then there will be the two towers in xmas 2003... so there's that fight between lord of the rings and matrix I can already see being formed. it's not as if a person can like one movie whilst ALSO liking another equally or indifferently well. it HAS to be one or the other... if you like star wars you must hate star trek... if you like the matrix you must hate star wars... if you like lord of the rings you must be stupid because it isnt star wars... moronic... oh well... actually, it's been my experience that star trek fans arent as militant when it comes to that sort of thing. I mean sure they are way up there on the geek quotient, the dressing up and the convention whatnots... but they wont sit there and yell at you because you arent dressed as mr. spock or some such shit. and it's not because there hasnt been a really good star trek film in a while... (personally I like both new ones very much) because remember... star wars really sucks ass and look at the type of fanatical devotion it inspires. it's that star trek fans are just inherently cooler than those fucks that like that piece of shit starwars STAR TREK RULES!!!! STAR WARS SUCKS!!!!
oh, sorry
yea, I watched the bootleg today... not a bad movie... of course I wasnt expecting too much from the toy salesman lucas. it seems that they didnt tell very much of the story in either eps 1 or 2... they've left a shitload to tell in 3, unless there just isnt much of a backstory and lucas has again duped us all.
I still have the opinion that he need to stop directing forever and just write the story (not the screenplay) and do the effects. as a director working with actual human actors he is actually quite nasty... sorry. the only reason I think the directing snafus didnt bother me as much in 2 was that there wasnt a goddamn whiny 6 year old no talent fuckup like jake lloyd in the picture... god damnit that piece of shit makes me want to blow something up, like xanadu... I mean skywalker ranch, my mistake. but I'll go see it in the theater on friday probably. if I dont have to stand in line too long that is.
