And this is the kind of response I would expect from someone who is illiterate.

why the f*ck would you give a baby crap, and secondly what the f*ck does that have to do with a TV show. seriously man if you are try to compare the too think of something a lil more accurate. I understand that you frustrated with media nowadays but if you want to be takin seriously use a better comparison.

You were trying to argue that I only thought the new Star Wars movies sucked because "my perception has changed" and that kids who hadn't seen the original movies still liked it. I used the crap-eating comparison to try and show you that the case may very well be that since they haven't seen the originals, they don't have a basis for comparison.

I'm sure you're the only one who didn't understand the reasoning behind that.

Wow so your telling me that you havent grown up since you were ten,

Perhaps not, but I do a much better job of hiding it than you.

you preception changes as you grow older, its just a fact,

Just like "Four legs good, two legs bad" I'll wager.

you are a different person now then you were when you were ten, why cus people change. wow you played all the zelda back to back man you need to get out more, thats alot of game play. and as for Starwars, you'll you will never beable to watch the PT movies from the POV that you watched the originals, the reason why you still like the originals is cus they captured your attention when you were little. the PT will never do that cus you watched the for the first time after you had matured.

They'll never capture my imagination because they sucked.

Seriously, I guess this "change of perception" stuff also explains why I don't like Starship Troopers or the theatrical Lost in Space movie either, right?

And maturity has nothing to do with one's tastes in entertainment, unless of course your one of those pussies who had to play with G.I. Joes in the closet because people would give you a wedgie if you actually admitted to liking them in public.

well lets see i have read the book once a year since i was hmm 10. i have done projects on the book, for school i have done biographies on tolkien, i know the boks inside out. that what i base my assertion on. as for ralph Bakshi's version, yes i personally liked it, however all the stuff he did with the orcs the half cartoon half constume shit was stupid, also not finishing is a big indicator on how good some people thought the movie was.

I agreed with you up until the last comment. Bakshi had tried to fit the entire trilogy into one movie, but the studio crapped out on him and forced him to release it in incomplete form--this also explains some of the live action/animation mix. Just compare the animation quality to one of his finished films, such as Wizards, and you'll see what LOTR could've been.

and dont tell me that it did a good job of portraying the books, because he never finished the hard part of it. the fellowship and the first half of TTT are the easiest parts to adopt from the book cus there is lots of imagery. but ROTK had alot of events that happen quickly and close together, that dont take much time in the book but take alot of time in the movies. But man you can't compare his version to PJs version why cus they were made in different times, by different people, in different mediums, and with different bugets.

But they're both adaptations of the same book. Saying I can't compare them is like saying I can't compare Street Fighter II to Street Fighter III.

i was accounting for that man but your right it wouldnt be 30 hrs long a direct tranlation of the books into a movie would be at least 15hrs.

Considering that the extended versions of the PJ films run for something like nine hours altogether, I think I could've put up with some extra material. I still don't think that estimate is correct, however.

Quote
you cannot expect people to go and see a 15 hr movie,

Of course not. That's why the theatrical versions were severely shortened.

mm. abysmal revivals yeah so thats why lotr gross over a billion dollars, and made history but winning so many awards, that is why spiderman is a good movie right, or why shows like beasties were good, yeah man that is why these revivals are failures.

Yes, let's not overlook the new He-Man (which lasted two seasons then bombed), or the OTHER Transformers shows, such as R.I.D. (though in truth, Transformers doesn't really count as a "Revival" because to revive, you have to be DEAD first, and Transformers never really died--it's just one of those franchises that won't go away. Spider-Man is in this boat too, actually).

are a very shortsight and selfish individual, if entertaining the youth of today is the raping of your childhood, then so be it. man i feel like beating the shit out of you for being so selfish.

The youth of today have their own shows. They don't need to be making custom versions of my heroes. I mean, I'm sure they wouldn't like it if I made an 80s-style version of Yu-Gi-Oh.
