But I guess I don't like the pal-sy scifi films..the star wars, back to the future..I do have some loyalty and fun ones coming up...5th Element for one. Just couldn't stand those two robots, the most insufferable creations in all of film. What, riding a trike through a strange labyrinth isn’t fun. or riding a bomb down to ground zero isn’t fun?

The newer films were absolute crap, but the first ones were awesome adventures. The point of Star Wars was the characters and their bond to eachother. That intense loyalty that reached even foolhardy proportions. Even Lucas completely missed the point, he thought that it was the special effects, but the latest films with all their incredible effects and innovations were utterly empty and pointless. None of the characters connected to eachother. Connection made Star Wars great. You can call that juvenile if you want, but most people still long for a group of friends like that who would share their adventures and come save them in a pinch no matter what. Star Wars was fun. Kubrick rarely ever managed fun. aw, see, you lost me when you talked down Star Wars.
