This was a really nice one.

Finally, someone who likes the prequels. And judged for liking 6? That's one of if not the best one?

I like the 6th one, Prequels are just special to Dan and I.

Glad you liked the essay lmao.

I love this so much. What a wonderful set of memories! I have a confession. The first time I watched RotS, I was so distraught that I left when Anakin was in the lava, all hope lost. It wasn’t until later that I was able to watch the complete transition. Don’t hate me.🙏 I do enjoy the prequels.🤩

Why would I hate you? It is a moment of utter tragedy and despair, I love it but it is because of the layers the scene has.

I also love the Prequels and am glad you appreciated Dan’s memories.

This is a very touching memory of your father.

I remember watching the original trilogy with my father on VHS, so they will always have a special place in my heart.

I also love the prequel trilogy. I think it is more sophisticated than the original one. A truly Shakespearean epic of the fall of a republic and the rise of an empire!

Agreed, it is easily the more complex, the more dense and the more sophisticated of the trilogies. The thing was that people weren’t prepared for a Shakespearian epic and I must confess I don’t really watch the Originals as often anymore. I prefer to play the Jedi Knight games and watch the Prequels. Just seems more complex and interesting to me that way.

It didn’t. One of the greatest if not the greatest sci-fi movie ever made.

Why would I troll about this? I don’t get it. I’m entirely serious.

As to infinitely watchable movie, makes no sense grammatically.

As to decent movies let me recommend a few to you, since you struggle with finding good ones; Shawshank Redemption, Hammer’s Brides of Dracula, Universal’s Wolfman (from the 40s), Wolfman vs Frankenstein, Dragonslayer, Dragonheart, Conan the Barbarian 1982, the Fall of the Roman Empire 1954, Rome 2006-2008 (tv show but quite good), Centurion, Robert the Bruce 2019, Fight Club, 10th Kingdom, Merlin 1998, Taiheiki (1991 tv series), Last Samurai, the Majestic.

If you need anymore, and are done with your own trolling let me know.
