Since I’m here, I may as well get the following off my chest:
While I’m still predisposed to regarding TFA as uninspired brouhaha, Bosk and Smoking Lizard have left me feeling way more sympathetic towards the film than I would have otherwise. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone bend over as far backwards as they to find reasons to loathe something, and I’ve done plenty of backward-bending in my time.
I mean, this right here says more about Bosk and Smoking Lizard than I could ever possibly say.
I didn’t need to bend over to see what I actually saw on the screen, which in MY opinion is a terrible film. I’m not trying to justify it to myself merely enlighten the nieve that think it’s actually a good film bu outlining my own reasons for disliking it, which I may add are now echoed all over the net so it’s not just me!
Well seeing you and Smoking Lizard have verged into not only having a less than rudimentary understanding of the film itself and have spewed half truths and even a few outright false hoods (Not that I haven’t gotten a couple of facts wrong while debating about TFA) one needs to examine the merit of that “opinion”. Which is highly unusual because opinions are subjective. I have seen people on here who don’t like TFA but didn’t resort the methods you and Smoking Lizard tried to employ. Especially as it pertains to the nitpicking.

So just because we live in a cancerous meme centered culture where no one fixates on details and has to be spoonfed everything we should give you a pass? I think not.
And let me not even go into how you guys tried to twist and bend the OT to make it seem as though they didn’t share some of the same flaws. And speaking of the OT…Why are we even debating with people like you anyway? No matter how the film would have turned out you still would have found reasons to hate it. Even if the sequels are engineered to be an amazing film across the board like ESB was and even if most people think it’s better you’ll still find small reasons to hate it. Either that or you’ll make shit up to form an argument.
