: They like to do this kind of thing. When someone makes a kick ass flick it becomes very hip to bash it. When TPM came out they started pointing out the stupidest shit:
: 1.) Jar Jar's a gay stereotype
: 2.) Jar Jar's a black stereotype
: 3.) The story was bad (actually the story was far more developed than in the orignal trilogy.)
: 4.) The special effects were bad (I've actually heard this one before)
: Kevin predicted it in his Phantom Merkin review. Now the same thing's happening to him.
: And if you call Chasing Amy downhill or less than Clerks you have a screw lose. Within it's genre (romantic comedy I believe) it's the best film I've ever seen.
