Actually, I'm planning to read it. Not because I'm a fan of the prequels, but because both the films and reviews are within my scope of interest, and I prefer viewing both critically at any time - documents such as these can open new perspectives, if written well.

Well that's not exactly surprising. Most of your posts on this forum have been extremely long, boring walls of text arguing with TheBoost over whether or not RLM's reviews are any good. Personally, I've skipped over most of them because of their excessive verbosity, and the fact that they're dull, uninteresting, and not entertaining in the slightest. And also because I've actually got a life; why would I even care what some random dude on the internet thinks of someone else's opinion of a youtube review of a Star Wars movie? Plenty of other things to spend my time on (including the manifold other posts on OT.com that actually have something interesting to say).

So I'm unsurprised that a 108 page document about someone's youtube review of a Star Wars movie is something you'd find appealing. But I doubt there are many like you.

As for people watching the reviews cuz they ain't text - fuck that, what you're writing right now is text. Packing content into an easly digestable, amusing package can help attract people's interest, but that doesn't mean people who're already interested in the topic aren't taking a look anyway. A negative side-effect of being charismatic and entertaining is that the stupider folk ends up attached to your persona and becomes uncritical, protective fan dumb.

Congratulations on going off half-cocked and completely missing my point. Yes, my post did indeed comprise written text. It was also roughly two to three paragraphs long. My contention was not that written text is bad; only that very few people are likely to be interested in reading a book-length document that discusses perceived inadequacies of a freaking youtube movie review.

Personally, I think your comment is "sad", and "frikkin' hilarious" - in its premise, 50 times more blindly fanboyish than the object at hand, and completely superfluous: 

Indeed. Who are you again? And why should I give a rat's ass? Are you seriously contending that my having taken about thirty seconds to shoot off a comment on a Star Wars message board is more fanboyish and pathetic that someone sitting down and painstakingly typing out 108 pages of text concerning the inadequacies of someone else's opinion about a Star Wars movie?

Well, you certainly have a "unique" point of view. Not that that's always a good thing...

if you're not gonna read it, don't comment.

And what the hell is this supposed to mean? By your own logic, if you didn't like my post, then you shouldn't have responded to it. Go back to the shallow end of the pool.
