Title: "I feel a great disturbance in the Force...", by Jon

It is as if 23 years of my life cried out and were suddenly silenced.

I'm not sure if I can ever watch Star Wars (of any kind) ever again.

Wait... you mean Jon's been alive for more than 23 years? Colour me shocked. I thought most people older than 23 had a better grip on reality, let alone trivial things like, you know, grammar. And taste.

Boo hoo hoo. Jon doesn't like RotS? I'm sure George Lucas isn't going to be able to sleep tonight. He's probably a quivering wreck because of the Mean Nasty People who say Bad Things about his work. Actually, no. Because George Lucas has some common sense.

By all means, Jon, leave Star Wars behind. It's not going to devolve into porn. The protagonist is not going to turn into a sex-driven moron. Besides, Star Wars is a fandom where fans can actually have their say and DEBATE things without being insulted or vaguely threatened by the creator. No, Jon, this isn't the fandom you're looking for; move along, move along.

(Sorry. I adore Star Wars, faults and all, and I'm as willing to bitch about it as I am to gush. Whiny brats like Jon, however, irritate me. Unless, of course, he was trying to be secretly witty and he actually liked the movie. I'm not holding my breath.)

ETA: All-praise to the beautifully subtle freyalorelei for pointing out that I was missing words. In a post where I was insulting someone else's grammar, no less. Bad me. (Hey, at least I admit to the error!)

To be perfectly honest, I saw the title of that post...and I turned off the feed to that journal permanently without even bothering to read the post.

With all the wackiness that is LKH, neither she nor her crew have any right nor privilege to touch upon the works of the very talented Mr. Lucas. It's just wrong. It's icky. It's like dealing with spoiled stupid people who use blatant hypocrisy to attempt to prove how they are better then someone who has actually shown talent.

It just irritates me.

Sure Episode 3 may have had some faults, but the overall movie was enjoyable and worth my money. It's been a long long time since I could say that about anything LKH has written.

...but wait Jon hasn't even written anything that I know of...so why the hell is he even posting again? Oh yah, he likes the pseudo-fame he feels that he is getting from getting to hang around with someone pseudo-famous.

I just never ever again want to read anything either of those two have written. period.

They may be the cause why LKH whined about "Underworld" and their lycanthropes/ vampire creations (and the spelling of "vampyre" *g*). It was on the same day, when Jon bitched about "Leprechauns" (? I'm not sure), if I recall right. Like they can't believe, that an author or stage director dares to create their own universe. Right, and the sun moves around LKH and her lovely spouse.

Not to mention, hasn't she come out and said publicly that she doesn't even read in the genre anymore? I personally don't understand how someone who writes in a particular genre can refuse to read the work of his/her peers -- it's like she's saying that the only one worth reading is herself. Which is blatantly not true and we all know it.

It's like she's trying to alienate her fans. (Her intelligent ones anyway...)
