• Star Wars fan writes a whopping 108 page response to Mr. Plinkett's TPM review
    79 replies, posted
Someone actually defending the prequels? Don't get me wrong I understand a few points that people could counter but 108 pages worth of countering on an hour long review? This person will never get any sex after writing that. And he is defending The Phantom Menace? Holy shit that movie is bad by anyone's standards. Plot and all.
I liked TPM when I was 8. Didn't mind EP2-3 But compared to the original trilogy they'll be shit forever.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;29586034]I liked TPM when I was 8.[/QUOTE] I never liked TPM, even when I was a little kid. The battle scenes were shit and even then I had enough common sense to know Jar Jar was a shit character. However I did enjoy Episode 2 and 3 for a while.
[QUOTE=The_Putty;29574275]what makes it funnier is the fact that he enjoyed the prequels[/QUOTE] me mad. And does anyone else think that some of the arguments about Star Wars are fucking beyond ridiculous. From both sides it's constantly bitching and ignoring good points from either side.
At one point I defended the prequels, but then I rewatched them in a Ep1-6 marathon and I quickly changed my point of view.
Oh, so this is what he was referencing in this video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTpWzg4aiEU&feature=related[/media]
[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;29586387]Oh, so this is what he was referencing in this video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTpWzg4aiEU&feature=related[/media][/QUOTE] Honestly, the guy is funny. But I cannot listen to the voice for very long. I cannot stand it.
I love the Plinkett reviews. Mike's a funny guy. The other shit RLM makes is pretty shit though, imo. Mike is the only consistent talent it seems. I get visibly upset when that one guy who isn't Mike plays the live action plinkett and does the voice and it's just so bad. Fucking dub in Mike's voice it's fucking BETTER GOD DAMN IT
[QUOTE=dude2193;29561498]Jesus fucking christ, remember this is a movie guys[/QUOTE] Tell that to RLM. A 70-minute review. Made to be mostly comedy. Seriously, how come nobody addresses the fact that RLM made a huge review for a movie that was 75% biased points intended to be comedic in a way is a little over-kill. They're both aspies by the logic in this thread.
[QUOTE=Badal;29563417]How could you even think of enough content to fill 108 pages.[/QUOTE] Maybe they were business card size.

I think this guy may have been trying to make a point...
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;29610766]it was intended to be funny and somewhat informative you idiot[/QUOTE] also that rlm wasn't biased - who would they be biased towards?

Yet the person who wrote the 180 page reply is a loser. Why? Because he likes the prequels of course. [QUOTE=OutOfExile2;29619799]Or because he took it way too seriously and his version wasn't funny?[/QUOTE] I think spending a bunch of time on making a barely funny, biased review that is as long as a movie is still just as geeky.
Or because he took it way too seriously and his version wasn't funny?
This review made me laugh sooo much

I get the feeling that this review has more pages than the script to the film itself.
[QUOTE=McErson;29651298]I get the feeling that this review has more pages than the script to the film itself.[/QUOTE] Generally, screenplays go like this 1 page = 1 minute of screentime It's a 108 page response 108 minutes = 1 hour, 48 minutes. Every Star Wars film is at least two hours (that's 120 minutes).
Why would anyone want to [I]defend[/I] the Star Wars prequels? I mean really, there are no redeeming qualitys in them AT ALL.

I mean for a little kid the only requirements for a good Star Wars movie are lightsabers, robots, people flying through space, and the words "STAR WARS" in the title.

Why is it such a bad thing when the prequels act too simple.
I love the Red Letter Media Star Wars reviews, even if there are some things you can criticize and counter-argue, but they were just too funny for me to care.
[QUOTE=Pops;29657400]ironically, every single star wars film has that. even you, clone wars.[/QUOTE] Exactly. George Lucas may not know how to please the Star Wars fanbase anymore, but he'll always be able to make the kids happy.

If he did he obviously was being sarcastic, since you'd have to have fallen asleep in the middle of his reviews to not notice his criticizing of almost every single part of the story.
Read about half of it, might finish the rest later. He does bring up a lot of good points but also just calls RLM dumb a lot, which seems a bit of a cop out. Also he complains about the Plinkett character constantly, which got annoying.

Probably because it seemed to focus a little too much on the fact that the character is supposed to be some weird serial killer.

[editline]7th May 2011[/editline] RLM questions five different people, who alternate between original trilogy and prequel characters. They start with Han Solo.

I'll let it slide that the girl calls Han "sexy" (her opinion, and also his looks), and that they call him a "womanizer" (something that doesn't show up until TESB). hahahaha what an aspie fuckhead[/QUOTE] Wait, what did the "aspie" say. He just said what the people said. I don't get why it's so stupid. [quote]Wow, what a searing burn. Good job internet joe.[/quote] That was a burn? Wow. You're cutting RLM so much slack.
