Best part.
Did you ever see the Episode 2 outtakes where he's dragging Nadine across his kitchen floor singing that same song from Willy Wonka? That was fantastic - though I do enjoy the cat in the microwave bit too.
You all have excellent reasons, Gaith.
BTW, are you guys planning some kind of an anti-prequel rally on February 10 next year, when Phantom Menace 3D opens in theaters? That would be a blast. Assuming most of you aren't going to be busy standing in line for tickets, of course.
Nah. I just won't go. Upconverted movies, they aren't worth the premium price.
^ That and the fact that it's the Phantom Menace should be sufficient to keep me away. The only thing that would get me to go would be if Stoklasa had some sort of Plinkett event at one of the local theaters, which I doubt would happen, but seeing as I live in the same city, it would be convenient if something funny were going down.
A rally? Ooh... don't tempt me...You all have excellent reasons, Gaith.

An anti-prequel rally? Where? Sign me up! 
Anti-prequel rally? Nobody's thought of that before? Better late than never, I suppose. Sign me up.

A boycott would be way easier. And a little less nerdy.
Sadly it's too late for a boycott, unless time travel might be involved? I'm up for that! Frak the space-time continuum, this is more important!

Why should Stoklasa's popularity in the PT-hater realm, including those who "can't even articulate their own butthurt", even matter to non-haters? Unless one is a slave to the views of the majority, it shouldn't make any difference how large this group ultimately gets. Appeal to popularity does not substitute for an argument, and additional followers won't magically erase the fact that the vast majority of Stoklasa's supposed points do not stand up to scrutiny and have been revealed to be invalid.
Please give some examples.
And even if your examples fit the bill as technically being invalid, Mike's original points still are valid from the perspective of someone who wants to go to the movies for an afternoon. That's why the 108-page rebuttal is a pile of crap. The guy who wrote that might make a valid point that the deal between Qui-Gon and Watto actually DOES make sense of you look at it carefully. Sure. In truth, a film goer shouldn't HAVE to look at it carefully to understand. Even if the deal makes sense, the scripted areas depicting how this deal work are still bland and badly written. A better script could definitely have been done
Please refer to the "108-page rebuttal". But examples don't really matter, do they?
So why ask for examples if you're just going to ignore them anyway? Let me see if I understand the logic at work here: any document proving that Stoklasa is full of crap is automatically a pile of crap. I think what you're trying to say is that accuracy doesn't matter. Thus Stoklasa is automatically right no matter what he says, even when he's completely wrong, because you agree with the basic sentiment.
Therefore, any mistake made by the "film goer" is the fault of the film itself. So Stoklasa can fault a film for things it did not actually do ( for example, the typical Force = midichlorians myth ), and this is taken as the film's problem rather than the result of his own problems with factual accuracy and comprehension. Convenient, eh?
