A Long, Long Mysterio Ago wrote:If Star Wars was made by prequel George LucasHonestly, I don't think there's a huge divide between the 70s Lucas aside from passion. Everything from the cutting room floor on Tatooine is as boring, plodding, and packed with the same cringe worthy dialogue as the prequels. Earlier forms of the script are terrible too, so it's almost against all odds that Star Wars was able to gel into something coherent in the first place. I believe it. Maybe still having something to prove back then was part of it too. Who knows. Too bad he's a giant piece of shit now who is SO sorry to tell you that it's just a movie. As if movies were never a passion for him and this whole caring about art thing is weird and unfathomable to him. Anyway here is an unreadable tract by a bonafide lunatic. See how far you can get! The author has a strangely selective memory, or deliberately ignores the crazy racist charicatures. He blames all of us for just not giving the movies a chance, even though at the end he lists his own pretty considerable grievences (like R2D2 being able to fly suddenly in the past) with a shrug. Just a movie I guess, why not write a 10k word defense of it *shrug*. In fact, I was in denial about how terrible the movie was for a few weeks after seeing episode 1 and even wrote a reply to a movie critic explaining why it didn't suck. But I soon realized how awful it was: just watching it again made me queasy. It had nothing to do with the biases and herd mentality that he mentions. I was even still excited for ep 2, wondering if maybe the first one being terrible was a fluke. But no. These are just bad movies, and being angry that the franchise was killed by a feckless imbecile who then is condescending and awful to his fans is a pretty normal reaction. Maybe jj abrams has brought it back from the dead for some people. But star wars is long over for me. Oh well. |
