Okay, who actually HATES the Prequels
Time

Puggo - Jar Jar's Yoda said:

For me, the fan edits prove how bad the prequels are.  In my opinion, none of the ones I've seen (and I've seen several) actually make any of the movies good. They might make them suck less, but that also makes them more boring. Strip away all the worst moments and the basic movies you're left with are just bland-city.  If I'm going to watch a prequel, I'd just as soon see Jar Jar bouncing all over the place - at least I can shake my head, i.e., at least it engages me on some level.

My thoughts exactly.

C'mon people, don't give in to lowered expectations! These are not good transfers. VADER'S LIGHTSABER IS FREAKING PURPLE!

OK, so maybe it isn't the same shitty transfer. It's the same shitty transfer with some colour correction and some "colour bastardization"

Now THIS is the correct attitude!

Which Batman film is your favorite?
Time

Great or Good

  1. Batman
  2. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
  3. Batman Returns

 

Okay

  1. Batman Begins
  2. The Dark Knight

 

Poor to Terrible

  1. Batman Forever
  2. Batman and Robin

 

The Nolan films are well crafted, but are far too uncomfortable with having a comic book as their source material. They are trying so very, very hard to be "serious film". Also, Nolan's version of Gotham sucks. Bale is only good when he goes into Patrick Bateman mode as Bruce Wayne (like in the scene in BB where he kicks everyone out of the party). Bale's Batman voice is just terrible.

Worst dialogue from...........AOTC!!!
Time

TV's Frink said:

The obvious one is "I hate sand blah blah blah."  But I don't recall hearing much hate for Nat's description of how she spent her summers...

We used to come here for school retreat.  We would swim to that island every day.  I love the water.

See, don't blame Ani for "I hate sand."  Padme barfed it up first!

We used to lie out on the sand and let the sun dry us...and try to guess the names of the birds singing.

"Tom!"

"Ralph!"

"Jenny!"

"Porkins!"

 

Gah.

That entire conversation is just a complete disaster. Idiocy piled upon idiocy. Nat was wearing a nice dress though.

Also, J.R.R. Tolkien is an awful writer.

First of all, I like that no one even felt the need to refute this unbelievable statement.  However, when I saw this I had to come here and present it as evidence to the contrary:

Meh. Robert E. Howard is far superior to Tolkien as a story teller.
