Thanks doubleofive. What is your avatar? Would I be right in guessing it's a photo of yourself, circa 1980?? Makes me want to dig out old Christmas photos for a scan :)
I wasn't even born in 1980 (cue "I feel old" jokes).

But yes, its me from Halloween 1987.

 

I ended up seeing that in another post lol. I was going to be conservative and say '83 or '85 but that t-shirt and lightsaber look way old school! Still makes me want to find those old pics...

I feel old ;(

DOUBLE STANDARDS!

etc.

MST3K. WTF?!! This was not what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be like Twilight Zone or something. It seems like a good idea but I'm for damn sure not going to watch them all. Any fans of the show out there that can recommend best eps?
I have no idea where you got the idea that MST3K was like the Twilight Zone! LOL

 

I plucked it from my imagination based on the name of the show :P Thanks for the recommendations!

E.T. (1982)

I had fond memories of watching E.T. as a child. Then I watched it again. 4/10

Explain this one to me. It's one of my favorites.

 

I just really don't like it anymore. It seems way more dated than something like Jaws which was made five years earlier. The movie seemed terminally long with a few brief moments of enjoyment that are transcended by the score. It is too emotionally contrived and lacking in enough interesting plot development or sense of progression. All my opinion of course. I didn't like any of the acting performances except for Drew Barrymore's. As a kid it was 8/10. I guess this is one that has slipped away with my old age :(

I agree with everything you've said CO and I have no problem if you guys want to continue this discussion, but IMO publicly scrutinizing KL's reaction to something that reflects badly on us in the first place is only adding fuel to the fire. Besides, her opinion is not of special importance.

And of course Michael is better than Kobe :)

 

*edit* Actually I guess her opinion is of special importance. If George will not turn to the good side, then...

*shutting up now*

I would have more respect for her if she didn't address any SW questions, and told us she didn't make the movies and she'll let her dad answer for the work he does. 

I agree with this but Star Wars fans should not bother George's family about Star Wars at all. She isn't responsible for his revisionism and shouldn't be looked down on or pitied for defending her father's view no matter how outrageous it seems, nor should fans put her in a position to have to do so.

I don't think she has been brainwashed, as some have put it - George really believes that's what Star Wars is now. I think the scenario zombie laid out above is extremely likely. I'm sure she is not forbidden from watching OOT/97SE, she is probably sick to death of Star Wars, hasn't bothered to check it out and is defending her father because that's what people do.

Baiting such as this only hurts our cause, we come off as rabid fans and it is likely to make the bearded one dig his heels in even further.

Episode I: The Ridiculous Menace (FULL MOVIE IS AVAILABLE TO STREAM, SEE FIRST POST)
Time

Oh, hai Frink! Kinda been avoiding this thread cos I can't resist clicking your links. (Don't want too many spoilers before it's ready). Today I caved and watched half a dozen or so. Now, the problem is I've just finished downloading L8wrtr's edit, and I can't watch it without expecting ridiculous things to happen. And they don't :(
