I say just shut up Pegg.

I'm all for everyone having their opinion, but really?...Tbh I find the hate overrated really, but don't knock the people down for liking all the movies.

And why split the fan base like that at this time? Can't we all just come together to look forward to Ep.7?

He's being idiotic.

My thoughts exactly when I read this. I will rewatch the Prequels come December and enjoy it. http://r35.imgfast.net/users/3513/11/32/39/smiles/1790400411.gif

Bs. Rots is the best Star Wars film to date. It's all silly to bash the films from a pr stance on his end.

So many people in this thread unworthy of Pegg's respect.

I have no respect for him and wouldn't give any shits if he died, so good, kek

I should respect someone who doesn't respect people just because they like something he doesn't?....Right.

I didn't realize that entertainment wasn't opinion based, I thought it was.

That's hard when he won't respect people just because of their opinion on a set of movies is different than his own.

I like Simon but really he just dropped for me just from this alone of what he said.

His opinion of the prequels isn't the reason, he can have his own opinion. What gets me is saying he doesn't have any respect for those who like them, that's the difference here.

The whole reason he said that is because the Prequels suck in his opinion though. Not respecting him because of his opinion is committing the same "crime" as he is. That it's not respecting him based upon his judgement of people instead of movies doesn't change the fact that its the same sentiment of judging someone because of their personal opinions.

He still took it too far imo, he could have just left it as saying not liking the prequels just as well.

Every person on this forum has disrespected someone (coughLegendcough) because they disagreed with what imaginary character can skull**** another imaginary character in a fight. Lets not act as if we're so damn above that behavior.

ive never done that

me neither

Quite frankly, I understand his viewpoint completely. I'm the same about the Twilight books - the more fans rave about it, the more I'm convinced they wouldn't know what a good book was if I hit them in the face with it. Repeatedly. He's passionate about it and I admire passionate people. Of course you are welcome to disagree with him (and with me).

I would never try to take away your right to have an opinion. But I reserve the right to think you're an idiot for having that opinion!

Incorrect. We've disrespected someone because they have made huge leaps in logic, slightly different to an opinion.

Some people like Anime. Some people like Soap Operas. Some people like Sci-Fi and some like Fantasy. If George R.R. Martin turned around tomorrow and said anyone who likes Star Wars is no fan of his, there'd be uproar, and rightly so, because people have takes.

Stop being biased just because you like the guy. What he's said is downright moronic.

Huh? It's not his opinion on the Prequels, it's his attack on Prequel fans. There's no hypocrisy by us at all.

Pegg on the other hand is just being an Ass. Why split up the fanbase at this time? Be a bit more sensible than that, especially when you've been given a cameo in the new movie.


And Hot Fuzz sucks. Most Pegg movies do.

I have regrets in this regard (in all honesty), I never intended to be rough towards LadyKulvax. Sometimes, certain factors play a role in hostilities that are beyond the control of someone.

Logic is just another form of opinion, you blithering bucktoothed twit. How dare you etc etc

People have every right to those tastes, just like everyone has a right to have an opinion about their tastes. Pegg didn't say you couldn't be his fan if you're a no-taste moron you like the prequels, he just stated that he has little regard for you. He can state that if he wants, just like you can say his statement was moronic. And then I can say you're a hypocrite. And you can say nu-uh. And I can say uh-huh x a infinity. Boom. I win.

I'm not being super srs. I'm not really insulting you, I'm just having fun.

LOL It sucks so bad. Most his movies do. So it's frankly funny him telling the rest of us what's ok to like and what's not.

Ok, I'm not joking around now so when I say that Hot Fuzz really is an incredible film and has one of the best written screenplays of the decade and anyone who thinks otherwise is legit dumb and has bad taste, I'm being serious.

oh shit guys I think Neph was being serious in that last one

Well done FreshestSlice.

Yep, I have zero respect for Hot Fuzz fans.

Most Hot Fuzz fans these days are ones who grew up with the movie, and they're unable to see past their nostalgia and childhood attachments and judge the movie with a critical eye. It's full of plot holes, inconsistencies, terrible dialogue, unfunny and inappropriate "humor", wooden acting, lazy camerawork and cinematography, unlikable characters, and is completely soulless and flat in emotion and tone. Adult HF fans are either terminally blind to the rose-tint in their fanboy goggles, or are functionally retarded.

Pegg struck gold with Shaun of the Dead, but he grew lazy and greedy as he got older, and his addiction to just stuffing every frame with as many SFX in Hot Fuzz (and The World's End, to be fair), is just ridiculous. He didn't seem to understand what made the first movie in the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy so beloved.

New trilogy might very well turn out to be worse than the Prequel Trilogy, so he really should shut up.

Episode VII trailers are far from amazing, let's be honest.

Nah, they're pretty damn amazing.

No. They are not.

Based on the fact my opinion is more important than yours, and I say they are, they therefore are.

Doesn't really matter how good this one is (for people like Pegg). What matters to him(and people like him) is critics will give us their blessings to enjoy this one. Whereas they would do their best to make it a laughable act to enjoy the Prequels.

In terms of the hardcore fans there will be people who hate this one regardless. Just like many Trekkies hate the new Trek movies despite their huge success.

It's a generational thing just like Lucas always said. And new incarnations will rarely satisfy all previous fans.

Who is Pegg playing in Ep 7 anyway?

I'm calling you out on saying the reason people dislike the prequels is because critics dislike them.

As I recall critics were very generous with the prequels. No-one really called it out as outright trash until a while.

I don't care what the dumb snob says.

Originally posted by Nephthys

I read the reviews of each Prequel film when they came out, and all of them got stellar, near-perfect hand jobs assessments upon release. I still have an old review book that gave Phantom Menace 5 out of 5 stars, while Schindler's List got 4, and Back to the Future part 3 got 3.


Contemporary critics were supremely generous to the prequels.

Just some actors opinion. Who cares. Rots was better than any ot film.

No need to get mad.

First of all when did you decide "people" dislike the Prequels?

Critics have always hated Star Wars. The Original got terrible reviews on release. ROTJ used to get a ton of slack before the Prequel era.

Nothing changed with the Prequels except some hardcore OT fans joined in the bashing along with critics. Obviously when critics and fans hate a movie together that doesn't leave a good vibe in the first place.

Then of course there's people like Simon Pegg who won't even give you permission to like the Prequels. How can you claim there's no one out there in the movie industry pressuring people to dislike the Prequels when we're talking about one in this very thread

Originally posted by Nephthys

You recollection is only partly correct.

Many early reviews came in bashing the film. To the point where it was almost a "fact" the movie was bad before it was even released. I specifically remember the film being talked about on the news where at the end the news presenter stated "It's a pity early reviews are suggesting the film isn't that good."

However you're right as well. Many people who gave TPM a positive review at the time have since miraculously done a complete U-Turn.

No Star Wars film to date has gotten across the board positive reviews though. TFA will be the first. I'm calling it now. I called it a long time ago. Because no Lucas now. There was just too much animosity towards poor George.

I honestly never understood why anyone else's opinion would have a bearing on anyone else's. Watch the film and if someone says you're an idiot for liking something laugh because it's subjective and Simon peg just sounds like an idiot tbh.

You're a good man, quan.
