Wow! Talk about entitlement, your generation also brought us Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, etc. Just because you're here, doesn't mean you have taste
Case in point, your favourite are the prequels? Your opinion of the Star Wars speaks volumes
"Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it.."
I LOL-ed so frikkin hard at this
I'm willing to bet, and the toy sales clearly show it too, that a significantly higher number of fans came in thanks to movies than left. And if they left, they were gone for a decade already, having gone to sleep around 1992, woke up at movie news, saw it, hated it, and then went back to sleep for hopefully 15 more years. New far outweighed old, and if the continuously running classics/generations line, and WFC sales are an indicator, they are still there too.
Prequels were awesome, and after the sequels came out, they were appreciated a hell of a lot more, especially with Clone Wars. Those were good.
Your generation gave us hair bands, mullets, and Quiet Riot. No bueno.
The irony of the intelligence comment too, when you were literally, very quickly, and decisively proven wrong.
Movies sell. Movies have their fans. I am excited for this one, and I am excited for this one as i have been for the previous 6. I have enjoyed them all to some extent, and Dark of the Moon remains the best TF movie, period.
And Scourge remains the most anticipated thing from what we know about this movie already right now.
