Most people are. And then I cap it off by saying I despise The Princess Bride and can't stand The Beatles. At that point I've had people stop speaking to me. ;)
I wanted to like SW, but it just didn't happen. It was just...meh.
It's interesting though, as I've heard it said that The Matrix is the Star Wars for the current generation. The characters and mythology of Star Wars is so ingrgained in my generation, and The Matrix is doing something similar for yours. True or not I don't know, but it is an interesting thought.
*shrug* Wouldn't know, as I barely remember the first Matrix movie and I wasn't interested enough to see the others. *watches Robert throw up his hands in frustration* Yeah, I'm hopeless when it comes to pop culture. ;)
It is an interesting thought, though. Also not sure about the validity of it, given that I don't think the second and third movies were as popular--or at least the buzz wasn't as much, as far as I could tell. I suppose we'll just have to wait twenty years and see if anyone remembers them. :)
And Star Wars did the huge parades in front of the Emperor over 15 years before PJ did it in TTT, just as a comment.
*tries to remember TTT* Hey, it wouldn't surprise me. Just 'cause I don't like SW doesn't mean I can't accept that lots of people make homages to it. ;)
