George continues to sell people the same garbage, and despite their reservations they gladly pay for it.
That is behavior that I simply cannot grasp. I'm truly fascinated by the number of people who make themselves like a sequel based solely on how they feel about the original in a series or previous work by a director they admire. It's a behavior that I don't think even a psychologist could help me make sense of. Yet I see it regularly on TFN and Blu-ray.
I mentioned before that Back To The Future is one of my most beloved and watched films, coming it at well over 100 times and counting. Yet - I think the second one is shit (I've seen several scenes from it), and I didn't bother with the third (or the second proper for that matter).
My love of the first film is completely separate from the sequels. Sequels, by the way, made by a director who has given me a lifetime of very cherished and favorite films. He doesn't get a pass just because I feel some sense of duty or allegiance. Make a good film, I'll see it and support it. Make a shit film, and I'll pass. No exceptions.
