My SO I'm sure makes it a point to mention something that she knows I haven't watched just to say "oh wait you haven't seen that"

Why is that a bad thing? You could watch them together

I have no idea how to even talk to you. I speak mostly in reference and meme! Shaka, when the walls fell.

Or they base their entire standpoint on it based on YouTuber brain rot "reviews" which just summarize the movie.

I met a 50 yr old software dev who had never HEARD of Monty Python. Not even seen.

Yah, they were bullshitting you. Nobody in their 50s that wasn't raised in a bomb shelter hasn't heard of The Meaning of Life.

No. They were not. They are on the spectrum and have very specific interests.

This would be great! I love introducing people to my favorites

Probably controversial opinion for some people: I've only ever seen one Star Wars movie (one of the original ones) and some of parts of other movies and I think the franchise is totally overrated.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Only Empire Strikes Back is actually good imo.

The movies really aren't anything incredible. Luke loses practically every fight he has, the dialog and CGI in the prequels were horrendous, and the sequels... yeah. I don't think most of them are bad movies, but for how popular it is? I believe Star Wars is held up quite a bit by how cool a large chunk of it is. Vader looks sick af, and laser swords are badass.

But there are some really good TV shows, games, and, from what I hear, comics as well. I think the movies are probably the weakest part of the Star Wars universe.

Can't really judge without watching them though

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Yes.. I know.. but if one is this lame why would I want to watch at least 5 more?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Not all of them are the same, some are better, some are worse. Some people like because of the nostalgia. It depends why you deem them "lame"
