I think the hostility towards the prequels/saga around here is different, because it's seen as a "threat" to getting the original versions a decent release. If the "saga" is accepted and popular, then there's no need to bother with 77-83. I find it VERY hard to objectively look at the big 1-6 saga because I feel like it's fucking me out of the originals, my favorite movies ever. And Gomer, yes taste is subjective. So keep that in mind before filibustering about how the movies are better now and puppets can't possibly be better than CGI.
Sorry, I keep seeing ads for this Superman mega-set and these restored James Bond movies and I'm fucking pissed Star Wars '77 gets treated worse than Superman 4 and A View to a Kill.
