The six movies are really alike. So either it's your cup of tea or it isn't. It's like your the mother of twins and you hate one child and love the other. It's just not fair and irrational.
I've been thinking about this one, and it really makes no sense whatsoever. Well, I mean besides the obvious that movies aren't children (except maybe to the creator) and are not immune to criticism. But if you really want to bring a parent/child analogy to this, I feel mine is much more accurate:
The prequels are the favorite child, while the originals are the unfavorite. In fact, the father hates the originals so much he feels compelled to give the unfavorite plastic surgery as much and as often as possible to make him look more like his much, much more loved brother rather than just letting him be himself. Isn't that just an extremely dysfunctional family and a really terrible father?
Also, I object to this person's referring to the original films as the "sequel movies" when that's just entirely incorrect (unless he's referring specifically to ESB and ROTJ). The PREQUELS are the sequel movies.
Also, to explore the twins analogy further, let's say that the first twin grows up to be a lively, charismatic, and engaging fellow, while the second ends up as a dull, drooling retard.
Does pretending they're "alike", and I mean not so much in front of them, but completely deluding yourself into thinking that there's no difference whatsoever, do any good? How about you leave the two at the playground? The smart one will be fine, while the retarded one will probably fall off some ladder in no time. But nevermind that, they're all my sweet children, and they're all ALIKE!!

First thing about storytelling? Like, a protagonist?

I have been banned on Blu-ray.com. I did not realize it till just now. Man, I feel liberated, er something. :)

It seems like anyone that doesn't agree with the 4 idiots, shitdweller, shaft_windbag, kencrappy & jasonTurd either gets suspended or banned. Thee three constantly make personal attacks on members but nothing is done to them, but dare speak out against the prequels or george and they slap you with a ban.
Why did they ban you coov?

It is pretty entertaining. It is like a Lucasfilm version of "This is Spinal Tap."
Someone said they didn't know of anyone who did not want the UOT released... Then Shaft said "I don't" I replied.. "He meant anyone that mattered" apparently that was over the line. :)

Looks like the mods have got a soft spot for shat_windbag. He made some personal attacks on me so i reported him but didn't retaliate in the thread. But they kept his post and suspended me.

Sounds fair.
I am at a loss for words. I am waiting for someone to jump out and say "April Fools!!!" How do these people function out in the real world?

I've never had the urge to troll anyone or any forum before, but I have to say I'm tempted just because there these people apparently really need a heaping dose of reality and fair play.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Maybe blu-ray.com figures this is the most important release ever for the format so they don't like too much negativity around it. (We've already seen this in the general star wars world- you don't even have to be paid to be a shill for something.)

You might be right, but Blu is established enough that it doesn't need SW to survive.

Yes but it definitely needs a big boost to finally push DVD to the 2nd place in the market and take the 1st place it deserves.

I'm curious what would happen if someone from here trolled blu-ray.com in a sort of reverse way. That is, what if someone posted ala kenkraly but even moreso? Like: "I hate the boring OOT and am so glad there adding more effects the old obiwon guy was so stoopid an they should put more ghosts at the end of jedi i am SO stoked eps 1-3 are coming out on BD." I wonder how far you could take it without getting banned. Is there a limit?

They already have a couple guys who are genuinely like that and seem to have ongoing carte blanche.
It's probably less about blu-ray surviving or succeeding as a business and more about that forum wanting their particular fetish to always be celebrated and free of negative thetans, like you see with all your various superfans.

Looks like they have just had a mass suspension over there. At least this time they have finally suspended the idiot trio gushers, but strangely they have left kenkrappy alone even after yet another repeat post

Hmmm... I wonder if someone over there is watching us over here. My ban has been lifted. LOL! I don't even know what to say over there now since all of those other guys are gone.

Everyone, please repeat after me:
Guys, you wouldn't believe how unexcited I am to see all six STAR WARS films in 1080p (because I already have and because three are shit and the other three are f*cked with horrible CG and f*cked up colours) and with (quite likely horrible) new 6.1 DTS HD audio mixes.

No, no. Not nerds. Nerds are awesome! Nerds build space shuttles, map the human genome and even become President. Nerds make our modern world possible. Nerds are the future. Nerds are cool.
Fanboys are the problem. Fanboys write online petitions about things that aren't any of their business. Fanboys think they should have a vote about whether Greedo shoots first. Fanboys think Star Wars belongs to the "people" (i.e. them).
Fanboys make baby Luke and Leia cry.
Fanboys are the problem, alright. Fanboys think that the object of their mastabatory fantasies are beyond reproach. Fanboys think that any criticism of their chosen tin god is pure blasphemy that isn't to be tolerated. Fanboys like to paint all opponents as "unrealistically nostalgic", as "following the herd", and, of course, as "being fanboys".
I'm really, really, considering becoming the kenkraly of TF.N
