The new ones are good don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think George Lucas should have written them. There were many parts in the new movies that were very cheesy. The light saber fights were amazing, especially in Revenge of Sith, and the special effects were amazing as well, but they just didn’t have that same feeling as in the old movies. Like you said a lot of the actors weren’t really allowed to show their acting ability. George Lucas had some great actors in his movies, but they weren’t able to show their acting skills and range. I think my love of the old movies also stems from the fact that I grew up watching them. My oldest brother loved Star Wars and would always watch them and as the youngest sibling I looked up to him and wanted to be like him so I would watch them as well. Some of my best memories are from these movies as well.<BR/>CeliaCeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263923885092776174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908893272766768552.post-85529139057796148262008-04-14T02:52:00.000-04:002008-04-14T02:52:00.000-04:00Comment # 6Well Paul, I do agree with you and thin...Comment # 6<BR/><BR/>Well Paul, I do agree with you and think that you're liking the first three better is more due to those movies coming out in a generation where that type of special effects was cutting edge stuff. Now a day, as you said, most movies have bomb ass special effects. Now to be honest, I cou;dn't pick one trilogy over the other becuase I love all 6 movies. However, I do believe that Hayden Christianson or however you spell his name, is one of, if not the worst actor in hollywood. I mean jesus christ dude, get a personality!<BR/><BR/>-BrandonBrandon "McLovin" Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594303411506100317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908893272766768552.post-69327391391707211282008-04-08T22:26:00.000-04:002008-04-08T22:26:00.000-04:00Comment #6First off all the Star Wars are over rat...Comment #6<BR/><BR/>First off all the Star Wars are over rated! Yes letting all you know I am a hater…but I never liked the Star Wars movies because of how nerdy people responded. Also I have always found the force to be retarded and in the movie using the force to jump car to car was lame. Though like every terrible thing there is always something good…and in the words of that which is good….Badass is Yoda. I most likely made that joke wrong because Star Wars is lame! I am sorry if I offended fans, but it shall take great force to jedi mind trick me about my bias.<BR/><BR/>Get over it Paul and jump into lame new movies that are solely for entertainment,<BR/>TimTim Pylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870510989121584010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908893272766768552.post-27265999622247950862008-04-08T21:13:00.000-04:002008-04-08T21:13:00.000-04:00COMMENT #5Well, I would have to say that i enjoy t...COMMENT #5<BR/><BR/>Well, I would have to say that i enjoy the new Star Wars MUCH more than the old ones. I like movies where shit blows up all the time, and stuff like that, and I'm not really into old movies in general. Sure the new ones have their bad moments but I still think that they are better. Star Wars Episode III is my favorite out of all 6. Sure it has its stupid parts when Darth Vader screams "noooooo" and how Palpatine starts talking all retarded when he changes. But I mean how can you argue with that last light saber fight. It was the ULTIMATE battle, and it was freakin awesome. Haha to think this all started with me and Bob arguing over which ones were better.<BR/><BR/>ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104972534918836984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908893272766768552.post-10064478193373778112008-04-07T19:00:00.000-04:002008-04-07T19:00:00.000-04:00Comment #8Well Paul I do have to say i am more a f...Comment #8<BR/><BR/>Well Paul I do have to say i am more a fan of the original star wars films. While the new ones are fun with all of the new technology and what not. But for some the original is just way more exciting.<BR/><BR/>That along with other things. I have many memories associated with these movies. It used to be my favorite past time watching them late at night with my dad. Some of my best memories are from these movies!<BR/><BR/>I love the originals:)<BR/><BR/>Lesliela299https://www.blogger.com/profile/08399835840566592549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908893272766768552.post-26143365309112819602008-04-07T02:54:00.000-04:002008-04-07T02:54:00.000-04:00Comment # 4I believe that you handle this intricat...Comment # 4<BR/><BR/>I believe that you handle this intricatley delicate situation fairly well. I mean while your former student was in an altered state of mind, you are no longer his instructor and thus generally no longer have an impact in his life. Just the same, what happens if you are out having a night on the town with a few of your amigo's and you had a few drinks. What's to say that you're not going to run into one of your present or former students. These are just things that are going to happen when living in such a small town.<BR/><BR/>BrandonBrandon "McLovin" Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594303411506100317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908893272766768552.post-4431280863270460972008-04-02T02:35:00.000-04:002008-04-02T02:35:00.000-04:00comment 2:Hey Paul.

For me, the reason for not asking questions or speaking out is because I am painfully shy and I always have been. It's weird because I have no problem performing in front of an audience for plays and dances, but I cannot for the life of me be the outgoing one in class. I don't know why I just can't and no I can't just imagine I'm on stage. Like Leslie said this presentation is going to be really difficult. Just to reassure you, you are a good teacher and your class is comfortable, however it is just difficult for some to be outgoing.Celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263923885092776174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908893272766768552.post-50329930569782299302008-04-02T01:58:00.000-04:002008-04-02T01:58:00.000-04:00Comment #4First off Paul this could have been far ...Comment #4<BR/><BR/>First off Paul this could have been far worse! What if you ran into a previous 105 student and she was pregnant (how would you respond)? Also this is more common than you think, but take it from our prospective. We have to talk to a teacher without full capacity and don’t know how they will react. What if one day I ran into you when you super drunk and stumbling I bet it would be just as strange. Overall I think you handled the situation well and I really enjoy the finals quote at the bottom. Just stay cool and respect your students and in return we shall respect you now matter how much sleep you got the night before (do you remember that hyper class? You were beyond weird but we still looked at you the same). I leave you with the final words of advice: youth shall be youthful and though we may do things you don’t, friendships and respect lies in how we approach the situation. <BR/><BR/>Acceptance and toleration is the key,<BR/>TimTim Pylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870510989121584010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908893272766768552.post-1762286199065464852008-03-27T21:42:00.000-04:002008-03-27T21:42:00.000-04:00comment # 2hey paul, well first of all, don't you ...comment # 2<BR/><BR/>hey paul, <BR/>well first of all, don't you dare get rid of the sarcasm, believe me that's not the problem. in fact, i don't think you have anything to worry about; granted we are not always the enthusiastic bunch that i'm sure you would prefer, but you have created an environment open to questions both inside and outside of class. Especially in regards to outside of class, you are very prompt in getting back to me on any questions or concerns i might have. you also make yourself extremely available for help--much more than any other teacher i have had thus far in my collegiate career. so yea keep up the good work.<BR/><BR/>comment #2bennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202893127980391031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908893272766768552.post-57579291445820254512008-03-26T15:07:00.000-04:002008-03-26T15:07:00.000-04:00Comment #4Hey Paul.

Well i would just like to say, coming from a VERY shy person, that you have done a terrific job of making most of us comfortable to talk in class. Granted i do not talk as much as others, but i do my best. I have never been one to talk in front of groups becaues it makes me extremely nervous. I know this is going to make the presentation very hard for me. <BR/><BR/>But that is just me, and i am just very anxious in front of more than 3 people. <BR/><BR/>You do better than most at making the classroom a comfortable place though.
