The Fart Awakens (Spoilers)
Riggatto:
Gilder I have a feeling you wouldn't have been happy with any possible movie. The only thing that would have satisfied you is if you wrote it yourself
Squidslinger Gilder:
No I am perfectly happy with many movies. Last one I Netflix'd was Kingsman. Found it a tad cheesy but overall it didn't try to be more than it was. Enjoyed it. The movie knew it's identity and it wasn't terribly written. A few scenes rushed here and there can be forgiven.
Before that, Rogue Nation. Actually somewhat enjoyed that too. Especially because they didn't play it as predictably as I thought they would.
Star Wars...all you hear about it is raves. Disney is merchandising it to death. Heck commercials on TV the other night...I don't think there was one segment where Williams wasn't played in the background of the ad.
Lucas then throws a fit...personally it made me want to watch 7 more because if he hates it, then it'll be good. However by the end of the movie I found Lucas to be right on many points. Now Disney bent him over and breach loaded him full of "praise it or we crush you." So he's recanting and playing nice again.
Its hilarious that when I see critical reviews of 7...they go into all these things and more. Things which should label a movie as "garbage" yet they can't stop singing praises for 7 at the same time and encouraging people to see it. Sorry media but if you want to shovel feces into my mouth and call it chocolate you better at least make it taste somewhat like chocolate.

Wow what an amazing amount of expertise and insight you have. We didn't know you were so involved and well informed.
Riggatto:
I'm talking specifically about star wars. I mean that I feel you wouldn't have liked any star wars 7 movie that was made.
Squidslinger Gilder:
I was just talking about recently Dutch :P. Smart ass :P
Nah they could have done a Star Wars 7 I would have liked. I could forgive a lot of things. In the prequels I actually like Episode 1 if I ignore Jar Jar and the childish dialogue at times. Mostly because Lucas did the casting right and I'm a Liam fan. Episode 2 and 3 could not be forgiven very well because it just snowballed due to the worst possible choice to play Anakin along with the most awkward romance scenes ever. Had Lucas convinced Dicaprio to play Anakin, I think the prequels would have been salvageable. Dicaprio actually looked like the episode 1 kid and knows how to act unlike Hayden.
Episode 7 would have been good, had they not tossed out the extended universe. Just worked with it. Heck if they would have had Kyle Katarn on screen for even a brief cameo, I'd have been satisfied with 7. But no, Disney blows chunks.
