  4. 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.
