Halloween and Season Of The Witch are the only movies in the franchise I can stand.
And neither are very good movies.
I love the original Halloween. It’s a great seasonal film with loads of atmosphere. The closet scene is one of the genre’s best. But it’s really not a very good movie.
I only like TOS. I am a Star Trek fan.
I only like the OT. I am a Star Wars fan.
Deal with it, kid.
For me though, while it rehashes a lot of scenes from Star Wars (the cantina bit being the worst and most unneeded offender), it wasn’t such a big deal.
Was the bar they go to really seen as a rip-off of the bar scene in Star Wars?
I’ve only seen it once, but I don’t remember anything from that scene that copies the one in Star Wars and I was fully expecting it at that point in the movie.
I’m guessing people who have this complaint don’t go to bars.

What age did you guys get your first girlfriend (or boyfriend)? Because I’m 16 now, and I’ve never gotten so much as a playful kiss on the cheek, let alone gotten into a full fledged relationship. Is that normal or am I just really lame?
I had a girlfriend at 16 or 17. But I didn’t have a relationship that meant anything till i was 21.
I know it seems really important right now, but at 16 you have no idea what you want. You’re above normal in my book.
Yes to this. Right now you’re much better off focusing on figuring out who and what you are than trying to attach yourself to someone else. You’ll look back in 5 years and realize that you are much different person than you are now. And That’s Good.
I’m a Star Trek fan, and let me tell you: there are people who call themselves Trek fans and yet only like the first 2 seasons of TOS
So?
Get with the groove, man.
Says the guy who just realized that Star Wars (a fun adventure series for all ages) isn’t some deep-thinking art film
You’re confusing disenchantment with realization.
They’re usually one and the same. First comes realization, then disenchantment.
I also think my post came off hateful more so than my intended playfulness, so I apologize if that’s the case.
You know I love ya!
Get with the groove, man.
Says the guy who just realized that Star Wars (a fun adventure series for all ages) isn’t some deep-thinking art film and is disappointed to realize that the Goosebumps books (written to give children the slight heebee-jeebee’s) don’t give a grown man nightmares.
And all this time I thought the Soviets had nothing of value to offer the world. . . .
So… You’re not into art, design or movies?
I finished ST2 last night. I had very little interest in the sequel as I felt I got all I wanted outta ST1 and I usually find sequels reductive and derivative. But, after a lame opening with lame characters that would later almost completely destroy the entire season, I was quickly pulled back in! The acting form the main cast is just terrific. The kids seem real and are a joy to watch.
Ep. 7 was totally stupid and unnecessary. The dialog was terrible as were the performances by these new characters. The whole episode could have been a quick scene with only El going to find the guy who “hurt mother” and finding out ON HER OWN that hurting people don’t make anything better.
I love the first one and, despite having little interest and no faith in it, really liked the sequel. I’m not dying to see #3, but I’ll certainly be watching it.
Just kidding. Take a breath.
JEDIT- I’m not wrong, but I am joking.
According to John Doom, Kashyyyk IS mentioned in the OT.
That’s not in the OT.
Neither the OT nor the EU were butchered to conform to the Holiday Special or include “holidayisms”, so your argument is invalid.
- Bea Arthur is canonical now: http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/10/24/a-character-from-the-star-wars-holiday-special-is-canon-now
That’s not in the OT.
- Death of Chief Bast aboard the Death Star needs to be reconsidered, as he appeared in SWHS a year later.
That’s not in the OT.
- Kashyyyk, as shown in SWHS (and drawn by Ralph McQuarrie), eventually appeared in ROTS.
That’s not in the OT.
- According to “The Visual Dictionary of Star Wars, Episode III”, Itchy appeared in ROTS.
That’s not in the OT.
- Lumpa appeared in several EU literature, and Waroo is a canonical character since Aftermath: Empire’s End.
That’s not in the OT.
- many other references to SWHS have been made in the EU (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Holiday_Special#Canonicity_of_the_special, “later appearances”).
That’s not in the OT.
So it seems that both OT and EU include several mentions to SWHS
None of that was in the OT.
Finally, Mark gives some kind of reply.
The thread is a question to her, isn’t it?
I don’t see anyone wanting a CG Clive Revell to replace Ian in Jedi and the PT.
The original Emperor from ESB is my favorite. I love the look and, even more so, the personality. Cunning, smart and sinister. I love Ian in ROTJ too, so I don’t bark much about it, but I really would have liked to see them stick closer to the original representation.
synthetic crystal… crystal “bleeding”…
none of it matters to the films themselves anyway.
Thank god. Both ideas (especially the “bleeding”) are absolutely stupid.
What do you people want
It’s not “you people”, it’s Anakin Starkiller.
Don’t throw the entire forum under the bus because one person doesn’t understand.
Referring to the 1981 version always irks me because we all watched Star Wars on VHS for years without having any problems with that subtitle being in the crawl, but now it’s apparently a crime against cinema.
I got no problem with the subtitle, but the way it’s implemented is the first in a long line of lazy changes.
Ady’s Revisited has the subtitle and the original timing, making it my ideal version.
Obi-Wan totally should have been a cut-in-half ghost!
Yeah, why does isn’t he?
It’s time for me to come clean with you guys…I’ve never seen the unaltered OT.
And yet you still argue that Hayden in ROTJ makes more sense than Shaw.
LOL
It’s not like I’ve never seen the footage. I don’t think I need to see it within the context of the whole movie to take a stance on it. To me, Shaw as Anakin is a plot hole.
Old good guys die, ghosts are old men. Old bad guy dies, ghost is young man. It makes more sense that he looks like someone you (and Luke!) saw 5 minutes before than someone you haven’t seen in 6 hours (during a marathon) and Luke has never seen in his life.
If he’s the same guy from 5 minutes ago, why does isn’t he bald and gray?
For the same reason Obi-Wan isn’t still cut in half and Yoda isn’t still sick.
Love it.
I posted this elsewhere and was told it was “a pretty good 'shop job”.
I ALLOLed.
Recently finished the extended version of The Stand. Loved it.
Also, I love the movie The Mist. The only instance where I like the movie more than the source!
A Jedi does not rummage for his lightsaber. He calls it with the force and it comes.
No matter how he retrieves it, that act cancels out the symbolism and meaning of him throwing it in the first place.
Double.
Unless there are people out there who only care about the very first movie (which I highly doubt),
lol
