This guy felt about the OT a lot like the adults these days feel about the prequels. It's no different. I could care less the reasoning many of you throw out there why the OT should be respected and the PT shouldn't, but I'm sure if John Simon were reviewing both trilogies he'd say they're both crap. One's just newer crap.

If John Simon is proof to you that both trilogies are equivalently crappy, then, logically, Roger Ebert should be proof to you that both trilogies are equivalently great. Hmm, unfortunately, Roger Ebert (who was an adult when Star Wars came out) thought original films were superior by more than marginal amounts and so your idea doesn't quite work. . . .

Oh, wait, you say you "could care less" about the "reasoning" you're offered (so I guess I shouldn't waste my time arguing logic with you). ;)

True on that account. Roger made great points. Those are some reasons why I am a fan. But I also understand John Simon's view point and agree with him also. I don't see why I can't have an opinion that allows both points of view.
