I’m not discussing the PT, I’m saying being pretentious is not indicative of intelligence.

Ah. Teaching by demonstration.

You don’t need “scientific fact” to prove that a real tree looks more real than a cartoon one.
Similarly, you don’t need “scientific fact” to tell that the speeder chase in ROTJ looked crap when it came out and looks crap to this day. Just because something has a nostalgic value to you it doesn’t make it better.

Proving my point by being childish really doesn’t help you.

I never said all the SFX in TPM was better, I was saying that one shot was better than all the crappy greenscreening ROTJ is infamous for.

Real =/= better.
Circle jerking about it doesn’t make it true.
The greenscreens in ESB are convincing, the ones in ROTJ are not; this isn’t even a prequel debate, or a CGI one.

Also as a side note, those pods and the background in that scene are real, physical objects.

Ryan-SWI said:

From a technical standpoint the screenshot of TPM looks more real than that of ROTJ, which is ultimately what the filmmakers were aiming for: amazing special effects that felt real.

Sounds reasonable. (Frink, am I doing this right?)

And they did their very best to hide that fact.

“You don’t need “scientific fact” to prove that a real tree looks more real than a cartoon one.”

“Real =/= better.”

I’m sorry, what were you saying?

Look, I usually don’t resort to ad hominem attacks, but are you intentionally trying to sound retarded?
Obviously those two uses of ‘real’ are different. In the most recent instance I used “real” to refer to practical effects, in the latter I meant the literal translation.

Twisting my words also doesn’t help you.

Being a pretentious ass isn’t helping you. You can’t be objective with subjective material, to quote you, that’s “retarded”.

And thinking you’re enlightened by claiming “everything is subjective” just makes you look ridiculous.

There’s no point in answering your question when you’re being an insulting ass.

And thinking you’re enlightened by claiming your opinion is objective is even more so.

No, you’re just immature and can’t accept that while a whole product (TPM) may not be better than another (ROTJ), there are aspects that can be.

Said the guy using “retard” as an insult.

Literally all you do is go around these forums insulting people.

This is literally not true, as I do plenty of other things.

And I insult people for being assholes, like you. I don’t insult a whole group of people that can’t defend themselves.

It’s a nonsense question, retard.

EVERYONE USING “RETARD” AS A PEJORATIVE SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Seriously.

I was just giving back to him what he was dishing out, you don’t have to get upset about it.

No, I’m better for other reasons.
