[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 247273, member: 8"] But I also can't remember if this was a conscious decision or not. If it was then it was because I'm not a fan of the "adventure" genre. Anything can happen in an adventure movie - and that's great - but at the same time it doesn't promise me anything specific. At least with The Mummy I knew there was going to be a mummy. Absolutely. I think I'm going to watch my Cinderella and Alice In Wonderland DVDs (the live action versions). I feel there's something inaccessible about the epic scope of Star Wars. As with most sci-fi stories it's a fantasy that I have to buy into from the very start, it's not something I could learn to love. (I guess the same applies to Doctor Who with all its universes and hierarchies and story-rules) and I'm sure it helps if you like all the iconic creatures. Having said that, Star Wars is something I [I]would love[/I] to love because it's a seventies cult hit and I'm kinda intrigued by the Darth Vader character. I've watched one of the Star Wars movies but for whatever reason my brains failed to absorb and process it, and it's just such a frustrating experience. Same with JAWS, I didn't hate it but I could not see what made that movie so special, and I feel a bit sad that I can't be part of the Jaws-love. Oh well, there are a trillion other movies to enjoy (but they're not Jaws or Star Wars :2B:) [/QUOTE]
