I’m Speechless…Not Quite

The topic - Most Overrated Movies Of All Time.

Short Stuff says:
All the Star Wars movies. They are all soo boring!

Here is my incredibly reserved and mature response given the volatile nature of such a comment….

I’m half tempted to obliterate this post into all of eternity. I mean, it is obvious that you are either incredibly inept at evaluating movies or so incredibly short that you couldn’t see over the movie theatre chair in front of you when you watched it.

In which case, I have a gift for you - 2 New York City phonebooks.

Even though these last two romps in the galaxy have bee sub-New Hope and Empire quality, overrated??? I think not.

My Short List of Overrated Movies:
Matrix 2 and 3 - there is one good movie between the both of them.
Gone With The Wind - my mom is going to disown me for this, but I just don’t get it.
Finding Nemo - not a bad film, just overrated.

Most Chick Flicks…that list is coming next week, by the way.

    You mention that and not the words said by latinchica “I’d have to say The Lord of the Rings Trilogy” that’s much worse in my mind. The only thing worse would be to say that The Lords of the Rings books were overrated.

    While I don’t think the Rings trilogy is overrated - I do understand WHY others think that it is. Over 3 hours a movie - it’s a little much. Especially Return…how many endings did it have?

    I didn’t know Matrix 2 and 3 got a good rating! You are generous to estimate that there is one good movie between them. They should have simply clipped the good scenes and made them part of the DVD extras on the first one.

    I have to agree with shortstuff or whatever. some are alrite but most are pretty boring. but i guess thats the difference between guys and girls.
