I'm not saying that I wish GL was dead or that I wish he would die, I just think that by staying in the film business all these years, he has fallen from greatness and damaged his career/reputation in the opinion of a lot of people.
Sure the mainstream loves the PT and the new Indiana Jones movie, but that's because the mainstream thinks whatever they told to think. I know people who love the transformer movies, but fans of the old cartoon series all seem to hate it (as do I). Most people in this world are mindless sheep. They are going to love whatever show is on primetime, which ever movie is on the big screen, and they will believe whatever their news channel of choice tells them to believe (FOX News, CNN, MSNBC). Okay, now it's a rant. :)
When GL dies (assuming he is mortal) I think a lot of people will be upset, myself included. I may despise his recent decisions, but he still gave me Star Wars, Willow, and THX. Just like as a Wisconsinite I will hate Brett Favre until he dies (or until he can stay out of the limelight for more than a week), and only then will I accept him as the great Green Bay Packer he was. :P
