Watched Return of the Jedi recently

I've understood under your current model of thought, you're incapable of acknowledging something as the best, because you haven't specified who or what it's best for. Something isn't just best floating around in a vacuum of outer space. -

Again. Better made for what or who? The movies aren't better made for things or processes to gain from. They're made for individuals. You have to specify which individuals they're better for, because I can name you many individuals Godzilla is better for than Godfather. -

I'm pretty sure you just mean SM2 is more critically-acclaimed or approachable, not better made. Better made entails its made only for those who prefer it, not those who just enjoy it. It wouldn't be better made for those individuals. -

That's still a contradiction. "Does more things wrong, so I enjoy it more." If you value what other people think over yourself, that's still also a contradiction. You value something by calling it better, but its what you value that you don't value. -

Better made for who? -

Okay, but I'm not sure how you've demonstrated these aspects are better. Critically acclaimed for example, or more effort put into. A movie is better if its more enjoyable or meaningful. You just said you prefer 3, but it's not as enjoyable or good. -

Okay, demonstrate why. I don't care. You just said 2 is probably better. -

Better made for who? Distinguish between black vs dark. Uh, this chair is black, but this car is dark. Specifically dark white, yeah. Can I have some of what you're smoking? -

Peaches are the best fruit. They have the most textural balance, flavor, acidity, the best complex sugars and vitamins, and produce the richest refreshing feeling, but even though they're the most enjoyable, I don't like them. I prefer apples. Seriously? Stfu. Anyway, I will probably make the case that A New Hope is the best Star Wars, based simply on how I ranked them a couple years ago. I don't mind if other people feel a different one is better. What is truly better depends on how I feel at that time about all the diverse elements working throughout the films, aspects hard to define and subjective. These three haven't changed much for me. I typically find something better once I discover it, ie. something new. That's the easiest way to discover something better than, say, three movies you've already seen. -

If you can't defend your favorite being the best, then right off the bat, nobody cares what your favorite is. Your own judgment is pretty much meaningless and not worth the time. Of course for me, I don't know which Star Wars is the best. I might decide when I've watched them more and made up my own mind. -

Contradictions are frowned upon because they cause real physical pain to developed brains. -
The "pick just ONE upcoming Williams score" poll
Oomoog the Ecstatic replied to filmmusic's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I wonder if this untilted Spielberg score could unite all of Williams' achievements and skills into an epic new work. Like a Symphony no. 9 to give his career the next layer of context. It could be the biggest reveal! Something he's been meaning to communicate to us! -
I love the transition Mitsuda.

'Your own' Ideal John Williams Concert Programe !
Oomoog the Ecstatic replied to Amer's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I'm just answering the basic thread question. Next time don't ask for our ideal night, with fantastic sound-projecting canyon walls and a Williams orchestra with lots of champagne, and these wild things wouldn't naturally happen. Think before asking, am I right. I haven't even gotten to the rest of the program, where news of urban civilization gets destroyed that night and we must tend to our Jedi wisdom by building a spaceship and populating a new planet. This planet must be capable of reproducing tomatoes, because that's the only food we have left. -
'Your own' Ideal John Williams Concert Programe !
Oomoog the Ecstatic replied to Amer's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Everyone is allowed to bring one tomato to throw at their least favorite conductor of the night. And any time a tomato is thrown at Williams, he turns around and catches it, and he and everyone bursts out laughing including the thrower. Williams squints his eyes and points his finger "Hahaha, you're a jokester" and everyone cracks up again at the hilarious joke! (I'm the one who throws a tomato at Williams and makes the funny joke. It's fancy sarcasm/humor only music nerds understand.) Plus, about this time we need to take a bathroom break, so tomatoes basically act as pause buttons in this event. -
'Your own' Ideal John Williams Concert Programe !
Oomoog the Ecstatic replied to Amer's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I want a concert program where we watch the 3 original Star Wars, and for each movie a new composer conducts a new score they made up for the film, and then as a 12 hour encore, John Williams conducts his score for the first season of GoT while we watch GoT. The main purpose will be to burn Djawadi, but also those other 3 unknown composers. We also get spa messages and free entrées during the event. -
It think it's spelled Star Wars in the US, but you're right that stars are just farts. So Fart Wars, aka Star Wars is a true film score. That's really interesting.
