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.
