Star Wars is average.

@Peter:

I've never seen Star Wars, and I've never really wanted to. But, when I got drunk this Saturday I kinda "traded" Star Wars to Game of Thrones. A friend of mine promised to watch GoT if I watched Star Wars. Fair enough. Except that she'll get an awesome experience haha..

Anyway, what movie do I start with? The first, chronologically, or the..first?

I really don't want to watch it haha.. I'll see if I can get out of the arrangement.

Star Wars was amazing when I was 5, and I've been a lifelong super fan because that nostalgic enthusiasm kept up its momentum. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way about it.

Definitely start with episode IV! You can skip the prequels, or just imbibe your drug of choice and enjoy the special effects.

With all the CGI tinkering that Lucas has done to them over the years, they've been completely ruined for me.  My nostalgic feelings get washed away each time I see some idiotic and unnecessary part bolted onto the original film and all the movies do now is make me angry.

As for the new movies, well, the less I think about those, the more likely I am to not die of a massive aneurysm.

(You'll need a load of the drug of your choice imo.  The use of the word special is very misplaced)

"Special" doesn't always mean "good".

[Giles]

Ah, so when @Madame Buttonfly talks about me to others, and says, "yeah. he's a little bit special" it's not necessarily a compliment?

[Chris]

Oh no, she totally means that in a positive way.  Totally.

i think you meant special as "special". shouldn't have quoted the whole sentence, just the special

I can't stand Vince Vaughn. He plays every character the same way, so I never feel like he's acting. He's just being Vince Vaughn. He's a guy that memorizes lines and says them in front of a camera.

[mclaincausey]

I like him, mainly because I met him and he's a good dude.

I suspect his True Detective role will be different.

[Chris]

He was surprisingly decent in Return To Paradise, an otherwise mediocre movie.

But otherwise, yeah.  Can't stand Owen Wilson for the same reason.

People discussing unpop ops are suckers.

There are a lot of actors like that. Ryan Reynolds is basically Van Wilder in every movie, Christopher Walken is the same Christopher Walken in a Tarentino movie as when he's on SNL

Subjective.

that would be quite freaky.
