I make no secret of the fact that I dislike the Lucas Star War(t)s extravaganzas. Now, it appears that my research group is going to be "rewarded" by taking us to the bloody movie when it opens here. I must have been unusually bad. Thus, is my perfect record spoiled: I saw the first 3 films in the series, but haven't seen the last 2 films, and have had no intention of doing so. I didn't like the first 3, and saw no reason to punish myself further, helpful friends to the contrary. :lol:
If I hear anyone say, "Que la Force soit avec toi," I think I'll jump out the window.
I date the final collapse of the New Wave in sf from the advent of the first Star War(t)s movie. It doesn't bring back fond memories. I recall a friend back in the '70s who coaxed me to go along with a gang of other friends to the first movie Lucas made in the series. I was not amused. As we left the theater, basking in the glow of that immortal story, my friend reflected, "The story line is so simple it's hypnotic." "Yes," I replied, "like a sedative."
I am, no doubt, being cranky on this subject. This is a subjective response to the films. There are almost certainly those on MWM who actually like the films, to whom I say, more power to you. (Or should that be "Force" instead of "power"?) :lol:
