Anyone that was a kid in the late 70's early 80's grew up with the original Star Wars and can't help but be a fan. That was really a golden age of movies with SW, Indiana Jones, the Spielburg movies, Alien, etc. Plus, you had to go see them in the theatre as many times as possible because your only chance of ever seeing them again was if they made the CBS movie of the week 8 years later.
I understand the younger generation not getting it as they missed out on all of this...they were raised on Harry Potter, Transformers and that gay vampire saga...
That's why when Gen Y'ers and Millenials constantly show their lack of culture and class I don't really hold it against them...

I'm so confused. I thought Billy Dee Williams was the only black dude in space.

That's so racist. There were sections of space which were 100% black.
But even the Empire didn't go there at night....

Me thinks you're afraid of pink shirts, too.
How many times do you need to chime in with your disinterest/nerd shtick to try and bolster the perception of your manhood? We got it.
Go pick up a gun and some camo today. You'll feel better about yourself, I'm sure.

You can make the argument that Top 10 box office isn't what you're referring too but look at the ICONIC movies in those first two. There are some great movies later but c'mon...hell, after looking at this we peaked in the 70's.

I agree with you except...

Transformers
...was also during the early 80's. I was a huge fan of those, too (the newer movies are okay, but nothing spectacular....I couldn't even finish all of the last one).

The Transformers movies were terrible. I blame the robot design. Too pointy and too much shite going on to be able to focus on anything.

I can agree with that.
Now the animated 1986 movie with the cheesy rock power ballad music........I had that movie poster on my wall as a kid.

This is epic irony.
Oh and Desmond, you should know that Penny loves Star Wars and hates your fricking guts.

Penny is a cheap whore. She also likes it when I squirt sour milk up her count with a turkey baster and let the cat lick it out. But, does that make it right?

Well, you can GTFO of this thread then and stop wasting your time writing about something you have no interest in and wasting our time by having to read irrelevant posts.
