        "he can't be within 500 Feet of 'Cons because kids mob him to take pictures with Chewie." - Mel Profit Aug 22, 13:48
It sounds like he's objecting to the movie serial ending, not just Empire Strikes Back. -- nm - Inigo Aug 22, 13:19 11
- which if Whedon was honest, he'd admit that this is what Lucas intended. - Mel Profit Aug 22, 13:26 9
  - Honestly...when I see someone randomly come out and blast something as well regarded as Empire... - Jim Aug 22, 13:35 2
    - "he cited the fan-favorite entry in the Star Wars saga along with The Godfather Part II as sequels that got it right." -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 13:43 1
      - He don't know so much! - Choosing Boyfriends: The Movie si Aug 22, 13:46

  - More mediocrity thrown on the pile. - David Aug 22, 13:30 3

      - It is a bit. - Spawn Aug 22, 13:38 1
        
        I can see behind the curtain. -- nm - David Aug 22, 13:58
  - Agreed. And it is a big part of why it is my favorite. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 13:28
- It sounds like he's objecting to the movie serial ending, not the movie. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 13:23
Opinions that start with "A movie has to..." are boring and useless. And they lead to formulaic movies like The Avengers and all the other superhero - Guigue Aug 22, 13:17 8
- daaaamn. but yeah... -- nm - colin Aug 22, 13:59
- as long as they end with "...to me." I'm pretty forgiving. - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 13:21 6
  - And I don't hate the guy, but he's made 2 (maybe 3) movies, let's wait a little to give him all that cred -- nm - Guigue Aug 22, 13:26
  - This specific sentence does not... - Guigue Aug 22, 13:24 3
    - But his opinion does. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 13:26 2
      - Just like any opinion, no? - Guigue Aug 22, 13:28 1
        
        Fair enough. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 13:34
  - Yeah, if there's one thing Joss Whedon is lacking, especially around here...it's cred for filmmaking. -- nm - Jim Aug 22, 13:23
Duh. -- nm - David Aug 22, 13:15
Well, he's not wrong. Particularly on the latter. - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 13:09 1
- As for the former, his understanding of what sells is strong. - Spawn Aug 22, 13:11
fortunately, my movie world does not revolve around Joss Whedon's opinion of it ... -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 22, 13:05
