Three threads in three days by one individual versus fifteen years of comments from a vast spectrum of different people who you can't possibly keep track of to know for a fact that those same individuals have continuously posted PT hate in all that time or lost the sleep that you seem to think they have lost.
Whereas you, all your threads on the subject and your need to react to it all...
I'm sure there's plenty of PT fans on this forum. Why are you fighting this battle alone? Could it be that the rest of them just don't give a crap that people don't like the movies they like?
Personally, I don't mind the prequels. I think there's a beating heart of imagination and creativity behind them, informed by Lucas' own love of pulp sci-fi serials. There's great world-building, a couple of stand-out acting performances, fantastic art direction and design sensibilities, great music and other redemptive qualities. Certainly those are all things I wish Force Awakens had more of, I was thoroughly bored with not-Tatooine, not-Mos Eisley, not-Death Star/not-Hoth by the end of the movie.
That being said, for all the good I can find in those films it's still dragged down by the albatross about its neck of George Lucas' lazy, one-draft-and-done screenwriting. His baffling hatred for practical sets and locations, insistence on using CGI when the technology was clearly not quite there yet, several
terrible acting performances from key members of the cast, distaste for actually directing actors, questionable creative decisions that absolutely would have been reigned in by a better producer, etc prevent them from reaching the heights of the original trilogy, or even just being good films in general.
They're deeply-flawed pearls. You can find small areas on the surface of smooth, glittering brilliance but soon your eye will wonder back to the pitted, uneven mess that is the greater whole.
But fine, if we're not being funny then I won't allow any more gif responses to your Terminator musings. Fair enough?
