I hate all the people who steal DVDs, thus requring the need for there to be that much security crap on it!

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I actually think it's good to have some alternative views and discussions. It's just the fact that this particular bringer of alternate views is an asshole.
The previous definition of Teenybopper given by Nanner was right, but I think it's more than that - it's one of those people who likes something but not truly - they are just latching on to a phase, like a girl at a backstreet boys gig who swears that their music is 'just like, totally awesome'.

Good point. Why steal a DVD when you can downlaod the DVD rip anyway? That seems so pointless.

Because it comes with a nice cover making it more attractive to the person you sell it to to fund your crack habit.

Well, if they would just stop using crack then they wouldn't friggin need to steal DVDs to buy it and then they would be easier to open and we'd all be happier.

I'd also like to point out that the only thing the difficult-to-open packaging acomplishes is stopping people from stealing the disc from the box. If they steal the whole box, the plastic is uesless. Plus I'm still a bit miffed that the only special feature on my Batman Begins DVD is the theatrical trailer. That sucks.

You can steal CDs even with the stickers by unhinging the jewel case...

I feel your pain. And the geniouses who packaged the bonus DVD's with the ROTS DVD's didn't put shrink rap on the bonus disc case as well, which causes some of the glue to stay on the case when you remove it.

I agree.

I hate it that Fox won't let go of the Simpsons. That show has been jumping the shark repeatedly for ages now.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.

Just making sure... I think that was me, right? If Nanner did post a definition, then... never mind.

I hate the new law in Canada that requires all DVD packaging to be in English and French. If it was just the cover, then I'd be alright, but it's all the spines, too! It's ruining my collection.

AMEN TO THAT!!!!! I HATED, HATED, HATED the Episode III cover for that very reason!

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I don't recall ever providing a definition, but I will freely give one. YIYF's pretty much hit the nail on the head, but the teenybopper is also one of that age group that loves to go along with whatever trends may be surfacing. For instance, when I was in, oh around fourth grade or so, everyone was into Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys and there were certain bits of clothing or accessories that happened to be in style (I have long forgotten them now, thank God), and the teenyboppers gravitated to it like a 15 year old pedophile to a Thai child prostitute. Needless to say, I tried to distance myself from them as much as possible. I think that still goes on with me today. I still hate trendy crap. My favorite album even is Pantera's "The Great Southern Trendkill" (I wish they'd actually come here and do just that).

So yeah, teenyboppers piss me off. But then again, there isn't much that doesn't piss me off.

Nanner, I don't fall under that catehory. I have always been devoted to Star Wars.

Sounds like you're going along with the "Faster, more intense", "More CGI" trend.

Possibly. You might call me a Lucas apologetic at times.

Adam, you are a teenybopper. You are a kid who is wowed by the 'cool' effects and doesn't really 'get' Star Wars. And if I am wrong in my assessment, then you only have yourself to blame because I am basing my views on your posts.

No. I simply feel that certain parts of it need the effects updated. However, I don't feel this way about 2001, which is on an entirel;y different level than Star Wars.

Star Wars excites me no matter how good or bad it is. To merely see new adventures in that universe, to me, is exciting. Like I said, to me, even the holiday special and ewok films are interesting.

That's fair enough, but you're still a teenybopper, just like the girls who think every new release from (insert crappy boyband here) is a musical masterpiece.

You have been into Star Wars since, what, '99? Star Wars has pretty much been in everyone's face since then. I wonder if you will still be as in love with it in 20 years when the hype has died as most of us O-OT fans are.
