What films have you made that I might have seen? When you want to argue your position based on an opinion, and you say something like that to give it some balls, expect to be called on the carpet.
And I most certainly don't want to be Peter Jackson.
When did I say YOU (or anybody else) wanted to be Peter Jackson? Maybe I should explain this for the slower people, and you know who you are (well... maybe you don't know who you are). When GL was going to film school he wanted to be a GREAT filmmaker. The problem is, he only had ONE great film in him, the first SW(TESB is a Kirshner film, not a Lucas film). Peter Jackson is clearly the film maker GL wasnted to be.
Lord of the Rings sits in a chair marked 'most overrated films of the early 21st century'.
Along with ROTJ, The Prequals, and a ton of others. The difference is, LOTR lived up to all the hype.
"you seem to have the best grasp on movie criticism than any of these knuckleheads, its refreshing"
I am not a random jerk shitting on convention, I have thought this out and argued about it before, so please don't lump me with the knuckleheads because you disagree with me.
Maybe not, but you sure act like it. I didn't see anybody calling you a knucklehead personally. Are we a little paranoid?
This is a FORUM, stop taking things so personally. You'll have a lot more fun when you do. Once again, my 2 cents.
