Livre - Anyone can see it
13 - No one under 13
18 - No one under 18

Never seen anyone being barred from getting into a 13 film. You REALLY gotta be 18 to get into a 18 film though. Most films are rated 13, including those rated R. The last 18 film I remember watching was "Traffic".


Traffic was that movie about illiegal drugs, right?

I hate (read: love) to nitpick your grammar, Warbler, but you need another verb in your last post. It should say "You would be." What you wrote would have been acceptible if he had said "I agree with Chaltab..." but as it is...


ANd on topic, Warbler, you care to explain the phenomenon? Just because someone is opposed to changing the original films and never releasing the Theatrical versions, (as I am) doesn't mean they can't enjoy a coulple of fun action flicks and ignore Jar Jar.

Truthfully, I only hate Jar Jar because of the way people react to him. I hate the fact that he took Star Wars'credibility in the eyes of Joe Schmoe, but he never really bothered me. So aside from the terrible romance and a few bad line readings, I don't get why the prequels are so hated.

I have much better grammer than Shim.

As for the "phenonomenon": I don't know, all I can say is that when I first saw eps 1 and 2 I tried to keep an open mind, I wanted to like them but I just couldn't. They are bad movies(imho). As for why OOT lovers hate the PT(and remember critics panned ep 1 and 2 as well), most OOT lovers were childen when OOT came out. This means that most are 30 or older. The PT (imho) panders to the younger generations(Jar Jar, fart jokes, CGI). So it should not really be a surprise that OOT lovers would not like the PT as much as the younger generations.

Another reason: maybe OOT lovers have good taste and can detect bad movies when they see them. And maybe their judgment is no longer clouded by a worship of Lucas.


Care to explain another "phenonomenon"? Why do most SE lovers love the PT? It works both ways.

The OOT films are not just a bunch of "fun action flicks" they are so much more. If you grew up with the OOT, you'd know that. And eps 1 and 2 are so much less than "a couple of fun action flicks".

one last thing: Star Wars should not be defiled by the likes of Jar Jar.

But I can't stand Lucas. And I can't say I like the SE better or not since I've not seen it in it's theatrical version.

well i like the pt the se and the ot warbler. of the three i dislike the se the most but the nitpick things just stait up dont bother me.

i dont think there are any SE lover. personally i have never heard of one or encountered one which means that there cant be that many of them even if they do exist. secondly i think people that like the se like the PT cus they are not in love with the OT they dont mind if things are changed they dont take the changes at personal insults as i know some OOT fans have.

I wish Shimraa spoke English rather than Shimranese, because that was very well put.

Carry on, long lost Jomaine!

maybe I used the wrong words. I should have asked: Why do most people who like the SE and have no problem with Lucas refusing to put the OOT on DVD, love the PT?

What changes are you talking about? Lucas hasn't done an SE PT, yet. If you are referring to the changes SE, the way you worded your statement is incorrect.
