kk650's Star Wars Saga: Regraded and Semi-Specialized (Released)
Time

@Possessed: The mispelling of ‘semi-specialization’ instead of the correct spelling that would be ‘semi-specialisation’ in the case of my releases does not suggest much respect on your part. Neither does previous comments of ‘jaundiced fleshtones’ about my semi-specialised releases that i’ve seen from you in other threads.

So… if someone says something that you find disrespectful, you tell them that what they said came off the wrong way. Then, someone states their opinion, and makes a point to show respect while also making their point, you then claim that they weren’t being respectful because they made a spelling mistake!!!

The way you are responding to people’s honest and respectful feedback/opinions is urging me to lose my respect for you.

That said, assuming you’re not trolling, which I think you are…

What song lyrics inspire you to look forward to seeing the sun every day life allows you to?

“Song From MASH (Suicide Is Painless)”

It goes without saying that suicide isn’t painless. Even if you are lucky enough to do it in a manner which doesn’t hurt yourself and it can go wrong so easily, the people left behind are left with a lot a pain to deal with so… thanks lyrics.

I think the point is that suicide would be painless in comparison to the pain of the war. The song was also written to be comical (in context), and it does it’s job well; it just happens to be a little deeper underneath the scene.

Generations sucks BIG-TIME.

First Contact just isn’t that great. I actually used to think it was fantastic when I was younger, but it doesn’t do much for me now, outside of nostalgia.

I’m not entirely sure what you hate so much about Star Trek III, though. If it’s any worse than GQ, it’s only by a minuscule difference. Now that I think of it, ST IV should probably be in the worse.

So here we go…

Greater Than Or Equal To Galaxy Quest:

ST TMP
ST II
ST III
ST VI

Worse Than Galaxy Quest:

ST IV
ST V
ST Gen.
ST FC
ST Ins.
ST Nem.
ST ('09)
ST ID

This was my Original Vision™ for the post.

Better than Galaxy Quest:

ST V

Wait, didn’t you give The Final Frontier a C+ and Galaxy Quest an A?

This is why I said that debatable part. I find that they take their place as better Star Trek films (because GQ isn’t actual ST continuity), so I put them in the top list. Ideally I probably should have put ST V in the worse (I was going to at first), but I thought keeping in the top list made it an even half, so whatever. Or I could have made it “greater than or equal to”.

Never mind the lunacy that First Contact isn’t better.

No lunacy here.

Galaxy Quest (1999) – A

Love it. Better than half of the real Star Trek films.

Possessed said:

It’s good, but lets not lose our heads here.

Better than Galaxy Quest:

ST TMP
ST II
ST III
ST IV
ST V
ST VI

Worse than Galaxy Quest:

ST Gen.
ST FC
ST Ins.
ST Nem.
ST ('09)
ST ID

This would be half. And where ST IV and V rank here are very debatable, so GQ could very well be better than over half of the ST films.

All just opinions though…

Let’s wait until we hear from the members that worked on it. The only reason it annoys me is because I’d like us to build a stronger base with Spleen and Blu when it comes to 35mm - if we support them they support us.

Could someone PM me to explain what “Blu” is, in this context?

Blu-Torrents.
