Confession: My favorite movie is ROTS

My new favorite movie of all time is…Star Wars Episode III.

Reasons for this:
My favorite game of all time is Street Fighter Alpha 3. Originally, I considered Street Fighter II and Episode IV my favorites, but I had too much of a hard time with SFII, and besides, its graphics look dated. So I went with Alpha 3, because it has all the characters from SFII and has better graphics. The same goes with Episode III. It has just about all the necessary Star Wars characters, and it has better special effects.

So now my favorites of all time include Alpha 3 and Episode III. But don’t worry, I’ll still support this site as I feel Lucas needs to give the OOT some respect. But I actually don’t mind the SE and the Prequels that much, so my faith in the OOT has been shaken a bit…

I agree with Yoda. Just because something is aging or getting harder doesn't mean you give up on it. Same with marriage you have to work at it you can't just give up and move on to another wife. Well, you could if you were weak and shallow.

"Necessary"? "Necessary"?!!! Are you suggesting that, as long as particular characters have screen time in it, that becomes your episode of choice?!!????!!!!!!!

And there are more effects but I would have to question that they're actually any better. Plus, Luca$h uses CGI in virtually every frame of episodes 1-3, so to continue to call the effects 'special' seems inaccurate, to say the least.

Here's a little secret:

I LIKE GAMES MORE THAN MOVIES!

So if I like the prequel to SFII, I MUST like the prequels to SW!

So there! Say what you want, I'm not changing my mind.

Ingo, I can't help feeling that it may have been a little rash of you to create a thread for this one...

What does SF have to do with which SW film you like? Do you base all your choices on SF?

Actually, yes.

SF is my favorite game of all time, and SW is my favorite movie of all time. They're both similar in so many ways. One title revolutionized their industry, they had special editions, they had prequels, and so on.

If SFII was my favorite game, then Episode IV would be my favorite movie. But SFII is not my favorite game, Alpha 3 is. Alpha 3 was the third prequel, so it's perfectly understandable that Episode III be my favorite movie.

No ... No, it's not understandable at all.

It is understandable.

Alpha 3 is the third prequel in the Street Fighter series. It is 4X as big as SFII. Episode III is the third prequel in the Star Wars series. It is 4X as big as Episode IV. And they're both alike in so many different ways. They each have a hero who turns to the dark side, an evil ruler's rise to power, a comical character everyone hates, epic battles, and I could go on forever...

How can I put this politely?

Um... what's the point of this thread, anyway?

It's a confession.

I just confessed that Episode III is now my favorite movie of all time.

Um, you're entitled to your opinions, but that is a damned weird way to pick a favorite movie. Why can't you pick it some normal way, like I do? See, for me, I go to my closet, and I pick whatever happens to be the third t-shirt from the right. Then I find DVD cover art that looks similar to the t-shirt. After that, I divide by pi, and I have my favorite movie of all time! I do this at least two or three times a week, mind you.

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

I'll just say one more thing:

I still like the OOT. I like all the Star Wars movies, as I like all the Street Fighter games. So I'll get all them whenever they're released, SE or not.

BTW, this was only for favorite game and movie. I picked my other favorites (TV show, song, manga, comic book) independently

Well, ignoring your argument which completely turns the science of aesthetics upside-down, I disagree about the graphics in Episode III. They totally suck.

Otherwise, I do like the graphics in Street Fighter Alpha 3 (which are of a beautiful, hand-drawn nature) and I agree that the game is fun.

So does that make Mace Windu a more essential character than Luke Skywalker?

Heh. They're both in there, even though Luke's just a newborn.

So yes, it had all the essential characters.

But what if, having performed your ritual and chosen your current favourite movie, the chosen movie was an older film, possibly looking a little dated, and maybe even containing no CGI ? Surely you would have to pick again!
