Star wars 3D midnight

While we’re on the topic of bashing The Phantom Manace, linked below is a 70 minute deconstruction of the movie and why it sucked, inexplicably interspaced with shady details about the reviewer.

NSFW due to language. Though I would question why you might have a spare 70 minutes at work!

People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians…

These current defacements are just the beginning. Today, engineers with their computers can add color to black-and-white movies, change the soundtrack, speed up the pace, and add or subtract material to the philosophical tastes of the copyright holder.

And here was me thinking star wars fans are geeks, and thinking that geeks had good english language skills. Thanks for disproving the myth.

As a Star Wars fan (and a geek), I find that insulting. In the future, please refrain from referring to Star Wars Prequel fans as Star Wars fans, there is an important distinction.
