Ya know, Go-Mer, I frelling HATE The Empire Strikes Back. I think it is a terrible film.

And yet, I realize that among Star Wars fans and movie fans, I am in the minority. I gathered that information by personally hearing from dozens if not hundreds of such people, and reading about such opinions when published. And so I conceed that it's a great film that I happen not to like.


Why you can't do that with TPM seems astoundingly stubborn. Perhaps you are acquainted with a far different group of Star Wars and movie fans than I am, and in your experience find that most people love Episode One.

But if not (as I imagine to be the case), can't you be man enough about it to stop foisting your minority opinions as fact?

If we ever get around to discussing the details of Empire Strikes Back around here, you will find lots of points made by me supporting my dislike of it. But I will not be calling others "wrong" for their love of the film. And if others say that "X" element is great, I will say it's not for whatever reason ONLY ONCE. I will not repeat my minority stance over and over and over and over again, as if repetition were equal to persuasion.

It's not. It's equal to annoyance and nothing more.
