My friends, Does anyone realize how civilized this conversation is? It's incredible. On a not to offend basis, here are some lovely tidbits from Link Removed. Quite funny...if I may include two of my favorites...these guys are actually really good:D

I guess this is the proper thread...I couldn't find the other ones where they discussed the fans in Seattle camping out. They made their own poster...it's somewhat funny, and sad. poster Take care, Chuck

And the ferris wheel goes round and round:D Why must everything be hot or cold? I enjoyed some parts of each of the trailers. 1) Breathing - good all-around. Good use of visuals and sound, excellent teaser! 2) Mystery - I was less enthusiastic about this one...the flying through the power...

Paul, I mistyped earlier...when I mentioned the "hatred" and the "venom", it was not from you or your posts. You've been a gentlemen. I meant the online hatred and venom from the fans. I am so sorry:frowning: That was a rhetorical question regarding response to the film, not directed at any...

RogerB, I guess we have crossed wires here. I was supporting the opinion of a fellow poster with MY opinion, which I never claimed was better or worse than anyone else's. The FACT I mentioned was that some of his fans were unfulfilled by what he has done. That was it. You yourself stated...

Tom, I don't see it that way. The OT is a saga. The NT is...who knows? TPM certainly does not belong with the OT in terms of storytelling. And I have to separate them to protect the OT. Don't get me going on Midichlorians...please! I have to keep them apart to keep from blaming Lucas...

First off, Roger, you used my WHOLE quote...but still missed what I said. It *is* a FACT that many SW fams feel that Lucas took some missteps. Whether or not he did mistep is an opinion. Read what I wrote before you misquote. If it's not a fact, why is there such venom towards Lucas and TPM...

Paul, While I feel TPM has merits as a film, box-office rarely translates to thinking "highly" of a film. Independence Day made $800+ Million worldwide, and while it may have been fun for viewers, very few thought "highly" of it. That's a bad indicator of mood. There is a reason there was...

Paul, I saw the same quote this morning at... TFN They should have an article with the quotes. I was happy to read this myself. Ewan is a fairly straight shooter. Take care, Chuck

If they hadn't said anything, we never would have known. Don't worry about this cameo...it's nothing but what Chad R said. And it's not LOTR vs. Star Wars here. It was just an aside between several gentlemen. Take care, Chuck

Let me clarify...I did not mean to imply that LOTR would be SUPERIOR to the OT. It's mantle will stand the test of time IMO, because all three films will flow toegther into what is, in all actuality, a 9 hour movie. It's narrative cohesiveness will allow it to flow more naturally. Star Wars...

Terrell, While I don't completely agree with Al's views, they are his opinions, and he can back them up. As for merchandising and SW and LOTR, it's the question of the primary driver. Sometimes it seems that the cart is leading the horse in the case of SW. I might not agree with that...

Richard, That's the fun of the forum! Can you imagine...I am sitting here in my cubicle, taking a break with the HTF, and someone has used MY quote with rolleyes!?!?! *$(% Man, What The *&#@!!! I'll show him!!! And so on...we've done it before, we'll do it again:D So, you did not offend at...

Now, I am guilty as charged of strongly desiring the OT on DVD! I make no blanket statements of moral rights and wrongs regarding original cuts, however. I prefer the OT, not the SE's. That is why I want it. I prefer the SE of Aliens, so I don't complain that the theatrical version is not...

Richard, 1) I am not bashing Lucas. 2) I never criticized him for not listening to the fans. As I stated in THAT very post you quoted, it's his series, it's his story...he should tell it HIS way. I am stating that to effectively retain the MYTHICAL aspect of the story, some "legends"...

Eric, Lucasfilm ALREADY confirmed it. So, that's why the boards are going on and on... Take care, Chuck

I'll start with *N'SYNC and then go into Yoda. Like I said earlier, the boy band thing is only a big deal if you make it a big deal. Do I like it? No. Do the comments made by LFL make me feel better? No. They claim *N'SYNC are in the movie because they are fans. So? We are all fans. Oh...

A lot of ire over the N*SYNC (is that right?) stuff. Hey, everyone remember Tom Cruise in Young Guns??? No? I didn't think so...he had the same sort of cameo in that. He died on-screen. It was a big joke when the film came out. Who cares if the extras are boy-band material. I'm the first...
