Ironic that the master of sarcasm doesn’t understand sarcasm.
Luke, Leia, and Han didn’t share a scene. Luke didn’t speak. WORST MOVIE EVER.
What.
Well, I’ve heard those complaints from others, and I don’t know you from a hole in the forum, so there’s nothing that indicates sarcasm there.
Too subtle perhaps? My whole post was a riff on Jetrell Fo’s post (notice the similarities). He wrote: “My daughter and I had fun and finally got to see some of our favorite characters back on the big screen, together again, part of yet another adventure”. I don’t know what movie he saw, but if we assume that by favorite characters he meant Luke, Leia and Han, I did not see a movie where they were together again, part of an adventure. That doesn’t mean I didn’t like the movie because of that (though I did not like the movie, but for other reasons). Got it?
It’s clearly apparent that you were riffing on and subverting Jetrell Fo’s post. Frink isn’t disputing that. There was no hint that the criticisms highlighted in your post (via your substituted words) weren’t genuinely your stance though.
Well, that’s the problem with riffing on and subverting someone else’s post. Just like the Star Wars saga, it needs to rhyme 😉
By the way, just in case it isn’t clear, the only reason I wrote that post is that, just like Jay, I found it condescending.
Aside from the fact that Frink is clearly the superior when it comes to sarcasm around here (compliment to Frink, 😃), you’re a tad late to the dance on the condescending issue. Your “riffing” needs some serious work if you’re going to get the reactions you seem to be expecting from those you jab.
@Jay
I am perfectly happy to agree to disagree with you. We all have expectations based on personal experiences. To be honest, I like to let the kid in me out to play and this movie was great for that considering I was a kid when Star Wars came out, as a fair number of us were. It was the kid I was that grew up loving Star Wars and the kid I still am when it came to enjoying TFA. Disney most certainly took the light side of the path with this film. They are introducing a new era of fans to something us old farts have loved for a long time. Did it need to be as PG as it was to make it’s start, maybe not, but it is my hope that more good will come from it than bad.
Cheers
