You know you’re an O-OT fan when............

Time
1. You refer to the original Star Wars as “Star Wars” and not “A New Hope”
-Indeed
2. You’ve seen each OT film at least 10 times.
-Just 10?
3. You can play the entire movies in your head and have most if not all the lines memorized
-Yes, but I have a bit of trouble with some of the scenes in ANH.
4. You have seen the Holiday Special
-And I regretted it
5.You own a laserdisc or dvd transfer version of the O-OT.
-Yes, but no laserdisc player
6. You hate the changes to the OT, but you own the special edition and 2004 DVD anyway.
-*sighs*...yes.
7. You rarely, if ever refer to SW, Empire and Jedi by their episode numbers, but you do so with the prequels.
-Yep
8. You blame any and all plotholes on the prequels and NOT on the original films
-Where else could they have come from?
9. You think the special effects from the O-OT are much more believable than the cgi stuff from the special editions and prequels.
-Indeed
10. You’ve cringed at three or more special edition changes while watching the movies.
-Just three?
11. When you watch the updated versions, you often yell at the TV.
-yes, and very loud
12. Han shot first, end of story.
-fo sho
13. You hate most or all of the OT changes, but wouldn’t mind seeing changes made to the prequel trilogy.
-Maybe they can fix some of the plot-holes.
14. You know what O-OT, OT, PT and ILM stand for.
-I think even Prequel-Lovers know what these mean.
15. You prefer puppet Yoda to CGI Yoda.
-Yes.
16. You love and hate George Lucas.
-Yes, at one time he was a GOOD director
17. When watching the updated versions, you can point out every tiny minsicule change that was made.
-Yes
18. You wish the prequels looked and felt more like the OT.
-Yes
19. You would pay over $20 (per film) to see the O-OT on the big screen.
-Depends
20. You think the cgi changes made to the O-OT did little or nothing to enhance the films.
-Only degrade IMO

And yes to both 21 and 22, the radio dramas are fantastic.

It'll pass, as it always does. Just like this year with Star Wars, most people have already forgotten Episode III.




What's wrong with my statement?

The general public is off on another tangent now and no one hears about EpIII from the media and merchandise is disappearing from the stores, and seeing as the general public is controlled by the media and the merchandising machine, Star Wars is out of sight, out of mind(barring the fan community of course, who will never forget anything).

Haven't you noticed no one is quoting Napoleon Dynamite anymore? The Shirts disappeared from Wal-Mart.

It is indeed, but gets quite tiresome after 8 hours or so.

On a side note, our XBox 360 came in today. Too bad we only have racing games for it at the moment.

My brother won't listen to my oft-repeated suggestion of having a little variety in his gameplay, he just plays racing game after racing game, no wonder he gets tired of most of them within a week.

Manos: The Hands of Fate


Many people hate Manos: Hands of Fate. Not Quentin Tarantino though, he loves that thing - even owns an old reel of it.

Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan rocks.

Films I hate -

1) Star Wars prequels
2) Robocop 3
3) Highlander 2 & 3
4) Star Trek: Nemesis
5) The remake of The Thomas Crown Affair
6) Daredevil
7) Elektra
8) King Arthur
9) Van Helsing
10) Gangs of New York
11) The remake of the Haunting
12) MIB 2
13) I, Robot
14) The Avengers
15) Catwoman
16) Die Another Day


I agree with these, except for EpIII.

and I add the following:

17) Small Soldiers
18) Matrix Reloaded
19) Matrix Revolutions
20) Star Trek V
21) Moonraker
22) The Man With the Golden Gun(YOU HAD CHRISTOPHER LEE FOR GOODNESS SAKES, COULDN'T YOU DO BETTER?)
23) Batman and Robin
24) Dukes of Hazzard
