Ok, feeling calmer now…

I guess I’m just… evil, at heart. I like it, and make no apologies. That’s probably why I enjoy Lexx so much. Despite its poor production values, want for hardy laughs, an lack of amusing product shots; I still find myself grinin’ wickedly the whole time. And while I have no problem advertising that I’m a Lexxian (it’s on my computer at work) I don’t proclaim that it is the be-all-end-all of cinema. I have never lessened another person for not seeing a Lexx film as I have been by Warsies. (Do you remember NOT being the first person on your block to see a Starwars flick.) And with the release of the final (gawd I hope so) film out soon I find that the Warsies are coming out of the woodwork. It makes me want to laugh, cry, and generaly make mischief.

There is NO other group of fanatics that are just so… mindless. It’s like watching a bunch of Jar-Jars standing in line for a Milli Vanilli concert. You just have to scream at them: “You Dolts! Can’t you see that it’s just a simple song and dance in a: media packaged, over produced, shiny wrapper! Take that clip-a-braid out of your head and find some real theater… or even read a damn book sometime…. Jeez!” Well; that’s just what I’m gonna do. Drop the lightsaber you four-foot wookie and go get some nookie damnit!

And that another thing… when did a bunch a Muppets become more telling and fearful than humans? There is no frame more sinister than that of man, so why all the dolls? Really; it works for small-minded kids, but it just insults the hell out of me. 790 works though because it advances the plot and presses certain philosophical questions. (Do machines feel? Is love a good social trait or just maniacally self-serving? Etc.) Yoda just encouragess bad grammer.

You see; it’s not a pissing contest; I just don’t like SW. I have seen all of them and find the whole thing to be just a college-rate cinema project (Which turns out to be somewhat true, as I’ve heard it. Apparent SW was an idea Lukeass put together while still studying film at Berkly) SW is the poster child for modern cinema’s (of which Lukeass claims to be an avant-garde singular artist and exempt form Hollywood) offend-no-one, crowd pleasing, requires no thought to watch short story productions with a ton of money thrown at it. (And throw money at it till you run out; that way, when it fails, its because you ran out of money to do it right.)

I have seen all the SW films, they where amusing and worth the $10 pop-corn. But it is not a film series to be crowned atop the peak of cinema is its fans would have it. Star Trek has it fans too, but they don’t proclaim their films to be the best of all time. They like it more than SW to be sure but is there a competition out there to be the greatest Sci-fi series? Maybe, guess its just in our nature to compare and compete. It’s like in “Pulp Fiction”: “You can like Elvis; you can like the Beatles, but you can’t like them both the same. You have to like one better than the other.”

Of course you can like neither too.

Thanks and remember; 9 out of 10 people preferred getting impaled by a lightsaber that the leading bad carrot.[/img]
