Expanding on what I said above about teens being idiots, again please don't take it the wrong way. There are exceptions. You are one of them, I was one of them. There were a few of us in my class that would actually read our own books during lunch, or would compete for good grades on our tests. Then there were the rest.


At my highschool, the ratio of iditos to non-idiots is pretty decent, actually.

And the idiot bug may not have escaped me entirely: I admit to having my own cell phone which I rarely use... And during lunch, I normally post on these boards...

Excuse me, now. I'm off to figure out why the heck Teen Titans is coming on at five o'clock...

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?

Yeah, they're Liberal and Democratic. Hey, Chaltab, as an American teenager I'm interested to know if you are taught or exposed to any current affairs happening outside of America (this election, for example). I'd like to know the truth about how America observes the rest of the world.


Heh. Typically, we americans are taught more about the history of other nations rather than current events. I'm considered one of the more knowlegeable people in my school but I can probably count the world leaders I know of by fingers.

Still, I think it's relative; you all are told what is going on in America because whatever the US does affects you. The same can't always be said of the other nations. If America's actions didn't directly affect the rest of the world, then I doubt you'd know as much about them yourselves.

How Many Times Have You Seen The Original Trilogy?
Time

Chaltab, you spelt uneducated wrong, which is slightly ironic. Jeten, as a 13 year old, which makes you what, 7 or 8 when the phantom menace came out, what do you think of the OT compared to the prequels? Did the prequels have a similar effect on you as a youngster that the OT had on us? By the way, in answer to the original question, I've seen each of the OT at least 50 times plus, probably more because I had it on video as a kid and watched it repeatedly then slowed down on the viewings until I was about 14 or so and rediscovered it. I've seen the prequels once each in the cinema and that's it.



I was JOKING...

The Matrix Trilogy - most people agree that as 3 movies this was a let down. It's a great first movie but not a great trilogy
Blade Trilogy - not bad fun movies but hardly classic
X-Men Trilogy - same goes for these
Trilogy of Non Crappy Superman films - there's only 2 non-crappy superman films
Spiderman Trilogy - and these - a great trilogy is a set of 3 films that work perfectly, individually and collectively. You can't just stick any old set of 3 on the list.


I've not seen Superman 2 or 3, actually. And when did I ever say the trilogies had to be classic? I'll add Alien Trilogy to the list when I get home. I gotta go. The bell is about to ring.

I think it was different, which counts for a lot these days with me. We're too often being force-fed (no pun intended) the latest car chase/bang-bang/idiot teen comedy every other week. You could make the case that SC is quite violent, but it was done well (IMO).


Plus he is not a Frank Miller fan, that has to account for some distate towards the movie.


What did you think of DK II? I know many Miller fans were quite dissatisfied with it... I've never read Sin City, but it looks like the local B&N is carrying it now, so I think I'll catch up. My love affair with Miller began with the original Dark Knight and Bats Year One. Ahhh, the day.


Miller wrote Batman? Gosh I'd hate to see how he butchered his character.

Batman: Now you die. *Throws a batarang decapitating the Joker. Blood gushes out and pools up on the ground. Then Ace the Bathound eats Joker's body.

...confused as to how/why he brought Padme into it...it was never said/suggested that she had any linking to the force (well im sure there are things that you can say suggest it, but it was never said)


Leia had a very strong connection with Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin because they were strong in the Force, and she left her mark on them as well. I was just observing that Padme couldn't do that because of her lack of connection to the Force, and therefore, Vader didn't sense Padme in Leia.
