You know, that documentary that was released the first of this month about (among other things) the fans who camped out 42 days to see Episode I.
I haven't seen it, but I watched the trailer... and I was thinking to myself. If a lot of people did this, this would really go a long way in explaining the sheer RAGE that people had over TPM. I mean, can you imagine camping out almost a month and a half for a movie and then it SUCKS?
Yeeoouch.
Then again, I'd probably blame myself for being so stupid and brainwashed by hype!
Or I might desperately try to justify all that time wasted by pretending I liked it... well I hope I wouldn't, but I could see it being a natural enough reaction.
Oh well. Anyone see it? Comments? I know a lot of cheap discs have been made to capitalize off fandom, so is this one worth it?
Note: I haven't seen Trekkies either. Generally I've missed out on this whole sub-genre...

fun/fantasy movies existed before the overrated Star Wars came out. What made it seem 'less dark' was the sheer goofy aspect of it: two robots modeled on Laurel & Hardy, and a smartass outlaw with bigfoot co-pilot and their hotrod pizza-shaped ship, and they were sucked aboard a giant Disco Ball. -adw1
Someone asked me yesterday if Dracula met Saruman and there was a fight, who would win. I just looked at this man. What an idiotic thing to say. I mean really, it was half-witted. - Christopher Lee

Serves them right for wasting their time for a fucking movie. I saw the massive lines that were around our local theater when Episode I first came out. I said "fuck this shit" and promptly went across town to go see The Mummy and I was not let down.Kurgan wrote:I haven't seen it, but I watched the trailer... and I was thinking to myself.

And a lot of people hated it. Your point? I wasn't generalizing about every single human who had ever seen it, only the many vocal ones who disliked it or were disappointed.Noble Ire wrote:You know, some people actually liked TPM.I haven't seen it, but I watched the trailer... and I was thinking to myself.
