Hey Man Jaws was never my scene and I don’t like Star Wars
Well queen may have nutshelled it nicely but I’m going to elaborate, yes I am delving into the world of mainstream cinema and I am going to drop a huge bombshell to those who don’t actually know me. I have never seen a Star Wars film in its entirety.
Now there are a couple of reasons for this the easiest one to explain is that it’s been around so long and had such an impact on popular culture that just about everything else I watch has referenced it one way or another to the point where I can pretty much piece the story together myself the second reason is that for reasons unknown to me whenever I start watching it the story doesn’t grab me, I don’t find any of the characters particularly appealing and immersing myself into the star wars universe just doesn’t happen.
That rather large pre-amble brings me to my point which is that should be ok, people shouldn’t have to bitch at me for not liking it, they should accept it and move on. But apparently me not seeing/enjoying 6 movies is an affront to the collective and all they believe in, here’s another shocker I haven’t seen Indiana Jones either for the same reasons as above.
But there is another reason I haven’t seen what most people refer to as ‘the great’ and it’s as simple as because you want me to. You see a lot of my actions are fueled by spite you keep telling me not to smoke I’m going to smoke 3 cigarettes in 10 minutes and make you watch, tell me to get a job and contribute to society and I’m going to sit at home and write a meaningless blog that contributes nothing and if you harp on about a movie I don’t have any interest in seeing I am going to go out of my way to avoid seeing it. It’s probably my inner indie kid, but for the love of god don’t lump me in with the movie snobs crowd, we all know them they are the ones who roll their eyes when you tell them you enjoy slasher movies then crap on about Citizen Kane and for 2 hours and the verbally berate you if you bring up the gaping plothole within it, worst still are the intellectuals that claim they understand whats going on in David Lynch’s work, for fuck sake David Lynch doesn’t even know what’s going on in his films.
I’d like to write more about this but I can’t be fucked though it was nice to release the pressure valve after a while, stay tuned for why I have a beef with vegetarians and how P.E.T.A can go fuck themselves
