Seriously, we’re on a site that was created by adults (like me) who can’t handle the fact that their favourite childhood film had some cartoon dinosaurs inserted into it. We collect action figures and read comic books and discuss at great length just how white the snow on Hoth might have been on the original 1980 film stock. Yet someone writes a long dissertation about one of these movies and suddenly everyone’s like “gee, get a life dude”.
Isn’t this exactly the place for such a post?
Actually your two thoughts on the matter are not the same issue imo.
One is about finding anything and everything about a movie you dislike and with surgical accuracy complete a thesis on why it sucks so bad.
This is much different than falling in love with a movie despite it’s flaws and enjoying discussions around that…
One thing is not like the other.
This site exists because we all want the original SW movies to be released on modern formats. We have petitions and discussions and fan edits and long debates about colour correction. We endlessly lament the SEs and ‘Han shot first’ and discuss which changes we can live with and so on and so forth.
Normal people don’t care. Normal people go “eh, it’s just a couple of scenes, get a life nerd”. And I say screw them! I don’t come here to be ‘normal’. I come here to nerd out over dumb stuff like the Sith rule of two and why a giant lobster should have had a noble death in TLJ.
I just find it odd that, in a sea of SW obsessiveness, a person writing a long and well-thought out piece about one of the movies constitutes some kind of limit.
