Out of curiosity, have you guys ever watched this video?
For a while, I've been wondered whether the kind of people spoofed in that ingenious video, truly existed. Seems like today, my quest has found its end... and it ees glooorious!!!
Tbh, I'm having a hard time right now to figure out whether you guys are serious about this or not. If there is even an ounce of seriousness involved, I simply don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Or what to think of it all... I mean, on one hand, SW is just a bunch of entertaining movies (of which three are slightly campy adventure films, and three kinda shitty but still fun spectacles) and it seems absurd any parent should bend backwarts so much to provide their kids some kind of "perfect impression" of them... on the other hand - because it's not that big of an issue, there's no particular reason for you not do it, either, except that, you know, it's very strange.
I guess as long as you people, apart from carefully calculating how and when to feed Star Wars to your kids, you also keep up the real important educational aspects having to do with working ability, healthy lifestyle, medical basic knowledge, "social stuff" and any important parts of culture and pop-culture, I guess it's not that bad in the general picture :)
But honestly guys? The PT is just three bad films. There are sooo many really bad films out there (not just horror flicks and exploitation stuff, but all kinds of crap like stupid comedies, cheesy animated cartoons, horrible action movies, etc. etc. many of them far worse than the prequels), and sometimes being bad is what makes them fun. Sometimes, knowing how bad a movie can get, is still useful, and provides a good contrast to how good it can get, so there's really no sense in protecting children from badly done movies in general.
If you're a cineast and would like to impart your kid with some of your experiences and knowledge (gradually), then by all means - but making such a huge deal out of STAR WARS??!
So maybe you'll get them to accept the OT as good movies, but it might still take them 40 years until they've taken a peek into Casablanca or something. -I haven't seen Casablanca, either. No one cares.
