And I'm sick of people saying people are "living in the past" just because they don't like something new that's crap. New isn't always good. Change isn't always good. If the new stuff is crap then that's plenty good reason to reject it and stick with the old stuff. That isn't "living in the past", that's being reasonable.

It's nothing to do with not facing reality. We face the reality that Star Wars has been screwed over. That's why we're "complaining" about it. Facing reality doesn't mean you have to be happy with the state of things. Facing reality doesn't mean you have to accept crap just because it's the in thing now. Facing reality doesn't mean you can't criticise what deserves to be criticised.

i realize, and agree partially with what you are saying.. especially about criticism..

but if you think about it..

basically : if old stuff = good

and new stuff = bad,

by your viewpoint, so you shouldn't ever look forward to anything?

be excited about anything? want anything new? read/watch anything good?

[star wars related that is]

that's what i meant about living in the past,

because you'll always be happy there, and

won't have to put up with whats been done...

it's a means of coping with things that are unpleasant,

instead of facing them....

and like i said, what would talk about then? that hasn't

been said before.. yeah, it's not complaining, but its not

very interesting either.

later
