I’m a Star Trek fan, and I like the Lord of the Rings movies, but the only other thing like that I’ve watched is a rerun of Dune-I get bored in the middle of Star Wars...
I am Star Trek over Star Wars easily. I don’t think i even saw the original SW movies more than once. The first one maybe. Def not the second or third.
You have to blame home video as well. Directors used to have to consider how long people would sit in a theater. Now they figure you will pause the movie, so they don’t even try to tighten it up.
