My dad's favorite was O Brother, Where Art Thou? and my mom's favorite was Pretty Woman, and in true boomer fashion, they would flip to them whenever they saw them in the guide on cable TV.

they are evil boomer musical flicks with scripts and songs written by satan, actually

My family love ghibli films, they rewatch the films a lot, I am also guilty of it. Even the worst of them are okay films.

Are your parents GenX?

I won't specify those details but they have actually okay taste in media for the most part. My father always liked the prequels and thought the backlash was full of shit.

The prequels are another film I always go back to, again they are good.

>>345163
You're Dad was mostly right. They got undue hate because people hyped it over twenty years to and unbelievable degree. Hindsight shows us they weren't that bad. Wooden sometimes, but top tier cinematography.

>>345164
The wooden cheese is part of what made them good, Lucas comes from the heart, and dialogue is more believable to me when it comes to making a movie kino for me.

I take it your parents are millennials then, and you're a young zoomer? That would be kind of cool to have parents into anime. My late aunt was actually a greatest yet very openminded, and I watched Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea with her once. She liked it.

>wooden cheese made them good
I wouldn't say good. More lovable and endearing, sure. But overall, yes; you're right. Lucas might not have been Shakespeare; but his creations oozed authenticity.

>>345176
My parents literally watched seasonal anime they aren't weebs but they are really into it.

My father was a fan of shows like Lucky Star and Chaika. My mother on the other hand enjoys a lot of violent anime/autistic dramas like fate.

They're trash. Some of the production design was cool though.

Explain why besides muh plinket-tier reddit quips from asshurt gen-xrs.

>>345186
Sounds like you're still butthurt over RLM tearing them to shreds back when they weren't complete retards.

The movies are badly written, have lame characters, overrely on tacky special effects, and are just plain boring to watch. Besides all that, they weren't even necessary in the first place. Star Wars works just fine as a trilogy. Hearing Luke and Obi-Wan make vague allusions to the Clone Wars and the Republic in the first movie is a lot more fascinating and stimulating to the imagination than seeing everything portrayed in a poorly made prequel trilogy.

Most of the prequel apologists are driven by either personal nostalgia, contrarianism, how terrible the Disney Star Wars movies were, or a mix of all three. There's nothing wrong with getting enjoyment out of a shoddily made movie, but the prequel defenders tend to put those movies up on a pedestal and rage at people who point out the problems with them.

You can't like Lucky Star and not be a weeb. It's nothing but jokes about otaku culture. Like a less pretentious version of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

>>345191
Yeah, and if you keep up with seasonal anime, you're a weaboo.

>>345187
>wahhhhh reddit letter media destroyed them
But they really didn't. This video in particular showcases how bad their criticisms were and how they resonated ans spread to an entire generarion of subhumans. George Lucas knew what he was doing and he did it the way he wanted. Many people loved the prequels and they weren't wrong for loving them, still aren't.

I mean I don't see it as that bad of a thing tbh.
>It's nothing but jokes about otaku culture. Like a less pretentious version of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Wouldn't call Eva that pretentious, just autistic. Its not really 2deepforuuuu but its a good insight into the mind of an autist. The rebuild movies honestly might be on the more pretentious side however…
>>345211
I mean again being a weeb isn't so bad I just think ita important to not let stuff entirely consume (you).

You act like they just flipped a mental switch and turned audiences against the prequels. People don't rip on the prequels just because of the Plinkett reviews. There was plenty of disappointment going back to release of The Phantom Menace.
>George Lucas knew what he was doing
He knew how to be a washed-up director.
>and he did it the way he wanted
So did Tommy Wiseau.
>Many people loved the prequels and they weren't wrong for loving them, still aren't.
How many of the people who claim the prequels are misunderstood works of art aren't wearing nostalgia goggles after loving the prequels as children?

The Phantom Menace is worth watching for Jake Lloyd alone. He put his heart and soul into that performance, so much so, that he went mad in real life.

Attack of the Clones was pretty ho-hum, definitely the low point of the trilogy, but nonetheless you've got to watch it to appreciate the whole story.

Revenge of the Sith was a solid film. I remember when it came out, nobody complained. It was as though Lucas took all the criticisms of how the prequels were going to heart, and set out to improve every aspect on which they were floundering.
