On Star Wars

[changehistory]

Luke Skywalker should be shot.

The constant whining is annoying.




ooc: Mun's stuck at airport after flight delays and cancellations. Adam felt the need to alleviate my boredom.

I see you've discovered the wonder of Star Wars.

Don't watch anything that wasn't released after '86 or so.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I was told I needed to.

...At all, ever?

[specialnow.livejournal.com]

Anything Star Wars released after 1986. The director realized that anything with the name 'Star Wars' would make him money and got lazy.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Ah. All right. I believe someone else told me that.

[specialnow.livejournal.com]

Everyone, probably. I was dragged to the first one and wanted to claw my eyes out of my skull.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

That bad?

[specialnow.livejournal.com]

That bad.

If science fiction interests you, though, try Blade Runner next.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Right. I'll avoid.

Ok. That can be added to the list. I missed a lot.

[specialnow.livejournal.com]

I bet. At least you have time to catch up on it, now.

You must be, like, watching the first one, right? He does get better.

And, um. Hi. I'm Rachel.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Except where new ones come out just as fast, and I'm not sitting around doing nothing but watching films.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Well, he can't get any worse.

Hello, Rachel. I'm Adam. It's nice to meet you.

[specialnow.livejournal.com]

The ones that are worth watching don't come out all that often. There's a lot of crap out there.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

There always was.

[gotbottle]

It's nice to meet you, too, sir.

I think maybe they were trying to show his growth, through his training? He goes from whiny brat to big strong man, or something. Though I gotta agree with that other gentleman, up above--don't watch anything Mr. Lucas made later. I think he got greedy. They're not up to par with the other films.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

There's no need to call me "sir", Rachel. Adam will do.

Well, showing growth is a good thing to do through an arc of a story. Right now his tone is grating on my nerves and I breathe a sigh of relief every time we switch to someone else. I will keep the admonition in mind and avoid the others, I think.

[gotbottle]

Yes, sir. I mean... *flustered laugh* Thank you.

It is a good growth thing he goes through. I mean, by the time the third movie comes around, he's totally a different man.

At least Mr. Lucas got one thing right, when he went back and made those really bad prequels? Luke's daddy was a big whiner too. Maybe it was genetic?

[specialnow.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. In the category of things to avoid: Reality television.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*tilts his head, studying her with a smile* I make you nervous. Why?

Is he? Promise me that, Rachel, or I don't think I can survive getting through them.

Well, some attitudes do seem to pass down, even when fathers and sons do not meet until adulthood, so perhaps you're right.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Ah. Yes. That I figured out fast.

It's a drinking game you know.

Take a drink every time he whines, talks about his destiny, the phrase 'my only hope' is repeated, it's not someone's fault...

The List goes on, and really it's the only way to watch those things.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Oooh...Now that sounds like a FAR better way to do it.

[onlysayinghello.livejournal.com]

I did receive a rather expensive lot of whiskey for Christmas from a friend, it's an extensive lot, and trust me there are plenty of drinking games to make movies more bearable.

[specialnow.livejournal.com]

There's nothing good about that whole set of shows.

Actually there's not much good television on at all.

[mortgaged-soul.livejournal.com]

So I don't make note this is you whining about some fictional character whining, right?

Also, must you always resort to violence. Yes, just typing that did make me smile.
