: Here is the deal. Attack of the Clones was a FUCKING FANTASTIC Star Wars movie....read that correctly my visually impaired friend...FAN"FUCKING"TASTIC.
This is my favorite, where he says basically "Let me repeat that" and then doesn't repeat himself. And also rankly high on the scale would be him calling Brian "visually impaired", presumably because he thinks Lynch is blind but doesn't want to offend him.
: It may have had about 15 minutes of bad dialogue,
Yeah, no, that's not true. There were more than fifteen minutes with Anakin, hence there were more than 15 minutes of bad dialogue.
: but that is it, the rest ruled! You sir are forgetting that you have made a cult following for yourself of the original trilogy,
I'm still not sure what this sentence means, nor that it qualifies as a sentence.
: and have not yet realized...god hopes you will someday.....that the original trilogy doesn't have the best dialogue either. If you would have never, ever seen them, you would go "Well that sucked!" too it would appear.
Hopefully, he'd at least wait until he had seen them once to say it sucked. He didn't say "Attack of the Clones" sucked before he saw it, just that the ads sucked.
: I am able to accept what these movies are, and fully love and enjoy them. It is a shame that you can't get enjoyment out of anything it seems.
That's true. In all the years I've known Brian, I've yet to hear him like a movie. Oh, wait, I can't say that because I've actually been here for more than a day and watched Brian post things. Silly me.
: I feel sorry for your pathetic attempt at enjoyment.
This part is really really funny too. He means you have to try harder to enjoy it, Brian.
: Such a shame. Ah, well. One day you will wake up and realize that movies like this are supposed to be fun.
'supposed to be' ... your obviously un-intended double meaning is not lost on me, youngling.
: For me it was, and all my friends too.
For the record, I enjoyed it too. But you're making me second guess myself. All you people who keep railing on about it as if it's a great movie make me shudder at the fact that I'm even remotely associated with you.
Seriously, I had fun at it, but the same amount of fun I had watching "Gone in 60 Seconds".
: One more question......WHEN IS YOUR STAR WARS MOVIE COMING OUT? ......cause I plain forgot to write that down....
He didn't say it was a bad Star Wars movie, he said it was a bad movie. And, specifically, a bad script. And, since he is a professional screenwriter, I'd say that even by your own stupid, stupid "logic", he's got a right to have the opinion. And by most people's logic -- you shell out the ten bucks, you got a right to say to people whether you liked a movie or not -- he already had it.
: ...wake up Neo. The Matrix has you...
Wait, I'm confused ... is there a spoon or not?
