Remember when everyone hated Return of the Jedi?

Your other points can be valid from a certain point of view, but don't be so nonsensical as to think that Star Wars or ESB don't have any silly moments of their own. A critical, logical mind can rip those movies to shreds. That's not what's important about them.

I'm currently listening to the Star Wars radio drama. I just finished chapter 11 (out of 13). It's absolutely remarkable how the story to Star Wars holds up to the scrutiny of a 6 hour magnifying glass. It's all logical and it all makes sense.

I just finished listening to ANH. Great stuff.

And for the record, i don't hate ROTJ. I just think it's weaker than the first 2, and with a little more thought/work could have been excellent.

Using that predictor I got:

1. Brazil
2. Germany
3. England
4. Czech Republic

England met Brazil in the semis and sadly I had to bet against them (although I think on a good England day and a bad Brazil day, England could be victorious, and if it was an England Germany final, England would lose on penalties).

my bets for the final are england, cezh, brasil, or argentina.
Glad you're getting into it Shim, just like You, Sybe, Zion and Dayv got me into Hockey.

i dislike little old chinese ladies that arent polite.
I dislike any old people that aren't polite. Just because I am (relatively) young, they look down on me and assume I am a thug or something. It's the same deal with security guards. In order to be respected in your mid 20s you need to wear a suit and look like a lawyer, whereas I look like a struggling animator/wannabe musician. Having said that, when I'm older I fully intend to be an impolite, irritable, mumbling old man with a long scraggy beard and those young wippersnappers better get the hell outta my way or they'll see the end of my cane.

And I still maintain Lucas hasn't done anything good with Star Wars starting with the release of ROTJ. Hell, I'd almost go so far as to say ESB was the real fluke and the future of Star Wars was presented to us on CBS in November 1978. Everything since that time, with the exception of Empire has been junk.

Neil
You know, I don't think that statement is actually too far from the truth.

I hate how itunes slows my computer to a crawl.

With regard to hormones in food, etc, everybody complains about how expensive organic food (or healthy food in general) is, yet we spend so much on everything else - cars, DVDs, books, designer clothes, going out, drinking beer, etc. You would think that what we are putting into our bodies would be a number 1 concern, and worthy of a little extra expenditure at the expense of some other non-essential luxuries.
