I'm sure this includes us Star Trek/Dr. Who/SF nerds -- I've never been too much of a Star Wars fan -- as well.

Well, let's clear something up. We can be a bit slow on the uptake, but one we get with a woman, we have a tendency to give them a lot of attention. And in-between the Spock-a-Thons and late night chess games, we've taken a peek or 4 at Anais Nin books. Once we get the woman, we know how to thrill them.

Just call me a married SF-Nerd and Kipling fan with a geek-girl wife and two kids,

Q: Hey, guess who's stupid?
A: This author!

I took my girlfriend to see Attack of the Clones yesterday and both she and I completely loved every second of it. Everyone coming out of the theatre was laughing and smiling and talking excitedly about the cinematic marvel we'd all just experienced. I will unreservedly say "Best movie ever".

How many movies has the jerk-off who wrote this "article" made? Oh, none?

[pabianice]

Obviously. REAL men are fans of "Star Trek," not "Star Wars."

[Sir Gawain]

This guy's grammar is awful. Tons of sentence fragments.

[Paradox]

LOL! Sounds like they rival the Trekkies. Brings to mind the classic SNL Skit with Shatner himself.

What in the heck is the matter with John Ford movies and Rudyard Kipling?

A few years ago when Elvis Costello toured Australia, I attended four of his concerts (and no, there's nothing wrong with that at all, thank you very much).

Well there certainly isn't anything wrong with that if you're being paid to see Elvis four times, otherwise I kinda' think there's plenty wrong with that, and I don't know if I'd be so quick to look down my snout at the Star Warriors if I were this guy.

[Clemenza]

As big a fan as I am of Star Wars, there is another piece of celluloid that I like even more. Yes, I have seen Taxi Driver about 200 times.

[Dead Dog]

I'd much rather enjoy the cool effects and action sequences of Starwars, and share a bed with Mrs. Deaddog than get off on "grown up" movies like Yental, The English Patient, The Crying Game, Crossing Delancy(?), Sliver, or whatever Fag Tripe these so called men who "know what to do with women" watch.

Given the number of second generation (like baby to 10) Star Wars fans I've seen in recent showings of the series I think Star Wars fans are getting more tail than the author of this whine piece.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Hmmmn.

Star Wars earned more than 150 million in the first week, right?

Probably going to earn more in the next few weeks, right? More, perhaps, than every "chick-flick" ever earned (except the boat picture) put togther. More than every

Now, comparing this jerk's salary with those numbers....who do you think knows more about who goes to films?

The "West Hollywierd" types who vote for Oscars and talk a lot among themselves, or the ILM group who makes good movies?

Sounds like a recipe for a healthy and vigerous world to me.
