Peace my friends, and so-long.
Oh goodie! A dramatic exit by someone who you know hasn't left at all and is still reading as we speak!
Anyways, it's a shame that so many on the pro-prequels side can't seem to respect differing tastes and views. . . but instead dismiss those with whom they disagree as either crazy, stupid, or socially mal-adjusted. It might surprise Kevin Smith and others like him to know that there are tons of well-adjusted, otherwise normal people who just feel that George Lucas lost his touch. And, we don't need to look through a nostalgic lens to see it. Funny how I loved Jedi as a kid, but loathe it now. . . shouldn't my nostalgia have trapped me into considering it the best film ever? George Lucas obviously changed his cinematic sensibility right around the time he was involved with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Return of the Jedi. His movies descended from that point into infantalism. Perhaps it's not a coincidence that it was at this time that he adopted his first child.
Kevin Smith believes that The Phantom Menace is better than Empire. Yet, rather than give some substantial reasoning for this view, he seems to feel the need to attack the people who disagree with him rather than the (very legitimate) criticizm of Lucas's recent movies.
Oh, and way to troll there, Mr. Coffee. I urge everyone here not to encourage posts like this. Please do not respond with vitriol or attacks. It's just what he wants.
