The Movie House - Part 5

The hipster is strong with this one.

Don't call me James wrote:Star Wars fanboys butthurt because NOT everyone is in love with their little garbage franchise. What else is new?

I don't care it's universally loved, it's just so overrated, it's effing unbelievable. The series has aged horribly in every sense of the word, I'm not going to act like I liked some ancient history franchise just because it was the first of its kind. Hell, there are better films about space wars and aliens today, but they can't be compared to SW because they didn't come first.

Freeza never said anything about that though, just that it will be cultural milestone. It's gonna be massive whether you like it or not lol.

Also what space films are these

It would be hipster if I pretentiously acted like I like Star Wars, like so many idiots do.

Liking Star Wars is pretentious now?

Star Wars arthouse Shakespeare confirmed

Well, I argue that it should NOT be massive. It's just not good enough on any level to be massive.

2001: A Space Odyssey now that's impressive. That should be cherished. Stanley Kubrick

Well, let's see Serenity and the whole Firefly universe is so much better.

Unreal last few pages.

Actually, it's the exact opposite of what you suggest, McAgger.  "Hipster" in the derogatory sense refers to someone who is intentionally acting in a way that is divergent from the majority of the crowd, particularly on tastes in a certain area.  So in this instance, being so vehemently against the widely accepted stance (without actually having experienced all of the films to which you refer) that the original Star Wars films were both good AND culturally significant does indeed put you in the "hipster" category.  

And for what its worth, the most objective means of measuring films' quality and impact both stand with Freeza in this instance.




El Gunner:
Given the rigidity of his stance and his refusal to accept even the basic points that have been made regarding Star Wars' cultural impact, I'm perfectly within reason to suggest that his stance can be considered this. It's one thing to think that movies aren't as good as many feel, it's another entirely to refer to them as complete crap and to refuse to acknowledge that the movies are, in fact, massively influential and impactful. Your stance on the issue has been much more measured than his, from what I have seen, and to this point you have not refused to accept or acknowledge the importance/influence of the movies despite your dislike for them. So no, despite your best efforts here, my statement cannot be said to be generalizing all who aren't fans of the franchise as you attempted to do.

Look I love Firefly but it has a better universe than Star Wars...that's a first. I am serious.

One can't deny the amazing and well crafted universe Star Wars built. You can easily read one article on Wookiepedia and end up spending four hours there.

McAgger and EL Gunner mad because they don't understand the ways of the force imo

McAgger is more hateful than Anakin on mustafar is these posts

Anakin was misunderstood tbf.

Those children had it coming

Never seen this many explosions in a trailer.
Michael Bay gonna Mic.... etc.

Agreed with McAgger and El G

I saw the recent 3 movies and the first two (New Hope, Empire Strikes Back) didn't enjoy them as much as i wanted to, ESB was more doable and better out of the rest though. It felt like a chore to watch them because everyone is raving about what an amazing film series it is and that i have to watch it. I personally think pop culture/references ruined it to me, its like they shove it down your throat that you don't get to enjoy it as a first time viewer. If i haven't seen any SW references before and saw the movies commando style, i think i would've enjoyed it a lot more. Anyways I'm hoping Episode 7 turns out to be a great movie

Mission Impossible. Amazing action film, Tom Cruise is the GOAT action star, not even a question anymore at this point, if it ever was.

MI films are all amazing to watch. Great entertainment.

Didn't like the two first, 3 was enjoyable, 4 was really good. This one was more entertaining than all combined imo.

Yeah, first 2 were meh, 3 was good. Skyfall has been the best so far. (I haven't seen Rogue Nation yet)

Gonna go watch Rogue Nation this weekend  Expecting it to be goat.
