So since Hell froze over, Fox and WB finally came to terms - Batman '66 on DVD

WB doesn't have the best record with celebrity cameos being retained (will we ever see The Addams Family or Laurel & Hardy on The New Scooby-Doo Movies outside of syndication?), but given that this is a much more high-profile release than my example I can see them shelling out the cash.

 The thing with the L&H episode could be related to the fact that Larry Harmon owned the rights to the likenesses of Stan and Ollie (as absurd as that sounds). Now that Mr. Harmon is dead, I have no idea who owns the right to the characters, if anybody.

Some say "Prequel Hater" some say "Film Lover"  You are participating in a forum that attracts people who have some technical interest in restoring, or at a minimum, watching Star Wars movies that are not George Lucas's version of the Star Wars universe.  As the other trilogy represents the pinnacle of what at least a few of us think went wrong with the Star Wars universe, at least a few of us simply aren't going to agree with you unless you can convince us why and how we are wrong.

Merely saying, "Everything is awesome" isn't a way to convince me nor I suspect is it a way to convince many of the people who hang out here.

OBI-WAN37, my interpretation of why the thread is still open is because you are fun and mostly harmless.  For me, It's light entertainment to come here to see what kind of zaniness you've cooked up each day.  If this thread does get the TFN treatment, I certainly hope you declare some other piece of non-defensible opinion in some new thread so we can go there for an occasional smile

Would someone please close this topic?

Why? It's going fine. Please tell us a couple more million times about how the prequels are awesome films because you say so.

Yoda: How feel you?

Anakin: Cold, sir.

Yoda: Afraid are you?

Anakin: No, sir.

Yoda: See through you we can.

Mace Windu: Be mindful of your feelings.

Ki-Adi-Mundi: Your thoughts dwell on your mother.

Anakin: I miss her.

Yoda: Afraid to lose her I think, hmm?

Anakin: What has that got to do with anything?

Yoda: Everything! Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.

I think that example of how the prequels have some awesome dialogue speaks for itself...

Yeah, riveting stuff.

Whoever wrote this dialogue with Yoda has no idea how Yoda actually talks, and instead based his speech pattern on a caricature. Kinda like what would happen if I were to make a biopic about Arnold Schwarzenegger and have the protagonist talk like "Yaaagh yaaagh fantastik! Mariaaahhh Get to da choppa!!!". It's a bad impression of Yoda.

All this guy can write is "it speaks for itself" and chants "fantastic movies", "awesome dialogue" and "terrific action" over and over again, like a broken record from the band "Too Rough Over Lonesome Louie".

This thread didn't deserve nor need reply one.

Also, still no comments about the "handsome demigod Christensen"?

 Those reviews are far too dark,

It's comedy. If you're fixated on the "dark" aspects, it's because you're too busy putting your fingers in your ears while the mad psychopath (it's a character!!) drones on and in the meanwhile he's making a perfectly sane analysis of these movies, ripping them apart and feasting on their rotten carcasses. So, really, the Plinkett character may be insane, but managed to make complete and utter sense, while there are other people around that insist on telling us they are sane and all that comes out of their mouth is fart noises.

and besides, whenever reviewers like that criticize the prequels, they never note anything positive about the films,

could it be because they can't find anything good in them???? the mind boggles.

and when they do, it's always along the lines of "sure, this was okay, but this was awful", when in truth the thing that was "okay" was actually awesome and the thing that was awful was actually just a small flaw.

To clarify, when you say "in truth", do you mean

  • "in your head"
  • "in cuckooland"

     or

  • all of the above?

For example a prequel-hater might say, "sure the action was okay, but the acting was awful", when in truth the action was fantastic and the acting wasn't bad enough to outweigh the other positive things

Same question as above.

My question is: are people watching it out of nostalgia? If not... why? It's physically taxing to sit through a new episode, and I'm not exaggerating here.

 I agree, it is painful to sit through the new episodes, I've done that recently just out of curiosity. As a matter of fact, I can't go to the old site anymore cause FOX not only took down WTSO.net, but also sued the canadian owner of that site for every penny he had.

Also, look how much they don't care anyMOE:
