You nerd hater.....

Last night I watched an incredibly fascinating documentary about Star Wars that looked at Star Wars from a historical perspective. How Star Wars drew from historical literature and events and how Stars Wars influenced literature, movies, and events that came after it. After watching it I thought to myself, wow, I'm glad I'm a nerd. There are many people who would have thought that the program was stupid and went right over the heads. Too sad. After watching this documentary I am going to rewatch all 6 Star Wars this summer with a new eye. The program even showed the cultural signifigance of Jar Jar Binks. Interested go here.

Now to the angry part: Two weeks ago some friends and I had a lovely BBQ outside in some beautiful weather. Everything was going perfectly until towards the end of the evening a young lady started bashing Star Wars and everyone who liked or loved it.Complete idiot, you are! The greatest movie of all time, star wars is. Of your ass pull your head out. (Courtesy of Yoda Translator)

Star Wars is great on every level, I would think that everyone could find something about it that they like. Its got great action, humor, romance, character development, cliff-hanger endings, good vs evil, and sweet special effects. I don't see what there is not to like, hell love, about Star Wars. I hear all the time things like, "its too nerdy and sci-fi. I hate to break it to you but nerds are the people running this world, Id love to be more of a nerd. People hate on science fiction because they actually have to think about what they are watching and put things together. Its not like those lame "talking animal movies" that so many people like.

The greatest movie of all time, star wars isn't. Star Trek is light years ahead, both movies and series, it even deserves capitalization.
