Hating the George, hating the Wars, hating the Force

The first of what could be several epic rants about hating George Lucas at The Bynk Zone, via Kottke: sarcasm and spoilers galore: "The worst was Yoda. Yeah, I wanted to see Yoda fight. Who hasn't. But I'm also a martial artist, have been for over a decade. What you realize is that as you work with folks who have been doing this for say, over half a century is that they don't waste movement. The better they get, the more economy of motion. There's no grand gestures anymore. Watch videos of the master who founded Aikido. No great movements, but people get laid out. That's a Master... They use their art unconsciously in everything they do, and when they are actively using it, you can barely see some of what they do. So I'm looking for something that shows Yoda as the Master he is, because even at that point, he's been doing it for what, 700 years? ... I am hoping for this economy of motion from someone who is a part of The Force at levels that no other Jedi can comprehend. From someone who has transcended anger and hatred. I'm a complete moron for thinking Lucas could do that." [Much more spunk at the link.]

Hey you coward. The only people who go on ranting about anything let alone a saga and dont leave an open email adress to argue back with are wimps. A million people can prove what you said to be stupid and immature. I will in the next 2 days. Expect to be hearing alot from. Oh but theres a bonus because this is a forum any person who logs on reads your comments on star wars will now see mine blasting yours to the ground. But this can be easily avoided. My email is short_man151@hotmail.com. Email me your adress and i will send you my one page response to you personally and nobody else will have to see because it will be your eyes only. You deserve it after running your mouth for so long without listening to the publics voice. Email me or i will knock your thread six feet deep.
