Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

To be fair, I think it's probably safe to say that anyone who fanatically adores the first 2 prequels (and they are out there) is under 25.

I can vouch that Emmett loves them, but he saw them before he turned 8. So it may be the "under 25" portion where George is inaccurate.

If I only had a brain...

The Golden Age of Star Wars: The New Stuff is under 10.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Perhaps the under-25s he's consulting are his kids?

And pretty much all Gungans loved the prequels. And four out of five Wookies surveyed love EP3.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

And four out of five Wookies surveyed love EP3.

I don't see why. They've been digitized.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They've been digitized.

They've what? Curse the advances in technology that allow this. However, I like the ones that give you massive armies creeping implacably towards our protagonist(s). Those are cool.

The Matrix has them.

As an under twenty-five year old I find that remark innaccurate, at best. At worst, massively offensive. Being young does not mean that I have questionable taste, Mr. Lucas. About this, anyway.

Also, war elephants improve everything.

They do. But as long as something falls on people and crushes them, it's not a waste.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I prefer them to be called olyphaunts.
