    Taco, why even post this? It's not anything really important.. at all even. Either its a slow day, you made a mistake, or /. crowd is geekier than I thought.
    Lets post a story about Spielbergs favorite porn sites next. It would just as relevent to us as this piece.

  6. ...Don't throw the retards out with the bathwater. by bluethundr · · Score: 0, Troll

    Okay, okay. So some of Spielberg's work is odious. As is Lucas' revisionist history. And maybe Spielberg DID give us A.I. and Gremlins.

    But then again, Spielberg did also give us Amistad and Schindler's List!(!!!) Tho, I'm afraid that a Speilberg helmed SW would be far more like the former two.

    But at least the guy does have some noteworthy accomplishments. What the heck have you ever done but hurl insults like "1 1z 1337, y0u 1z ph@Gg0+!!!~~~!!! ph3&|2 m3" in UT chat?

  7. I say BURY the show. by josh+crawley · · Score: 1, Troll

    Movies, series, whatever all ends. Well, the way Star Wars is going, it's going into the shitter. Overall, people dont like ep 1, and they hate ep2. ANd if you were around back then, you oughtta remember why Star Wars was popular. Hint: It wasnt the plot (try special fx). They just created more shows for revenue. They were just hooks to continue the first one.

    Jump ahead a few years. Now we have 2 new movies which are crap. The director, along with most of your standard directors stink. They make mush of a movie that the "public will like".

    Well, at least 3 of the shows were decent. Quit while you're ahead.

    I'll know I'm gonna get flamebait from some fanboy. Go ahead. I know it's the truth though.
