1. Question
Who is this idiot and why should I care what he thinks?

Wow, another Star Wars hater who feels the need to make fun of people "wasting their time" watching the movie, then spends probably a good hour or so posting his thoughts online. Irony?

6. Who is he?
Edited on Tue May-31-05 01:42 PM by GirlinContempt
How old are you? / Where do you go to school? / Where do you live? / What is your major?

At the time of this writing I'm 26, I go to school at the University of Utah; my major is math.

3. ha Ha HA!!!
"You might have heard them saying something like "I didn't like the first two, but this one was good!" When I ask why, these people have trouble responding because it's hard to talk with George Lucas' flaccid penis in their collective mouths."

:rofl:

4. Hahaha, the best part...
"By the way, if you haven't seen this movie yet, don't read the previous sentence."

5. I liked that part and:
Even worse are the idiots who scarf down these sub-childish morsels of comedic relief, playing into Lucas' shallow theatrics so easily that you could sell these people hookers in a vagina storm.

:D

7. Maddox has two opinions: That's Awesome or That Sucks.
As it is, some of his stuff is funny (such as the Bush vs A Box of Tic Tacs piece). But essentially, if a movie doesn't feature gratuitous violence and nudity, he pans it. So that's no suprise. :P

8. Haha!
So instead of doing something cool like having the robots chase after screaming children, they bitch and moan and say things like "ow"

I liked all the 3 new movies :shrug:

10. I don't understand why someone would spend
THAT MUCH TIME ranking on a movie they hated so much. Even going so far as to poorly illustrate the rant.

I have no problem with the fact that he hated it. To each his own. I enjoyed it for what it was, I had no expectations of it being anything other than the film equivilent of junk food. The kind you loved as a child and you still crave (now and then) as an adult. Even if you're a foodie with very refined taste, sometimes a ho-ho or a Good Humor bar is wonderfully satisfying.

I've hated plenty of movies in my time. But I felt cheated enough out of the the two hours of my life I spent watching them, I sure as hell wouldn't spend another two hours ranting about them.

14. You're taking it way too seriously.
And quite frankly, that's exactly what his writing preys on.

12. I have gotten a laugh from several of Maddox's pages, but
this one on Star Wars only rates in the no emotion to simple humf! range. His rants seem to have lost most of their humor since he got out of school and went to a real job.

15. ROFL! AS I SUSPECTED! I kept my cash in my pocket on this one.
I hated the last two, got duped into a theater to see one. Rented the other. This one might not even make my rental B-list.

LOL.

BUT I OWN THE FIRST TRILOGY!

Nuff said...cept what is this crap, $6.98 for a freakin' 1-inch tall action figure at Wally World? Jay-sus! PLUS TAX!
