KISS was in my formative years. I am cracking on towards 50, so the 80s were my time in music. Iron Maiden Bon Jovi Meat Loaf AC/DC Twisted Sister Metallica and the list goes on. I have no people follwoing trends as such, but only if they make the decision to like that trend and did not feel compelled to follow it because it was "the IN thing" at that time. I'm getting ever closer to 50 too (I'm 47) but I've been a KISS fan since I was 14 and some things just stay with you. I loved the first Abrams Star Trek, the second not so much. But then I've never been a big Trek fan, that's the wifes domain.

I don't get fashion. How is following what everyone is doing/wearing/watching/listening to considered a good thing? Individualism is so much more interesting. I'm a massive KISS fan (no apologies) and someone once said to me that it's so uncool to wear a KISS t-shirt that I'm cool for wearing one. That makes sense to me. Be a leader, not a follower.

It is very subjective and too many people base their opinions on what's 'cool' at the time. Blair Witch is a prime example. It was slated by a lot of people in the UK for being overhyped. It wasn't overhyped at all, it was brilliantly promoted in the US so by the time it got here it was already a success and was promoted accordingly. But some punters had already made their minds up and the bandwagon jumpers got involved and as such was much maligned. I'm the same as you in that respect, I'll make my own mind up thank you. Off topic much? HAHA!

Underworld.

They even got two movies of their own but no one seems to bring that up when whining about Eps. 1 - 3. There will always be detractors, they're best ignored.

I've probably already suggested them but the iZombie cast would be great.

It's a lot easier to bad mouth than it is to to offer constructive criticism. Yeah, Jar Jar is an annoying character but he's not the focal point so the naysayers need get over it. People forget that the whole thing is not primarily aimed at adults, kids want to enjoy them too and if they like a goofball, floppy eared alien and his slapstick shenanigans then that's all well & good. The sound the lizard Obi Wan rides in Sith was more annoying than anything Binks did, it goes right through you. As I mentioned earlier, the scene in Sith when Vader's helmet goes on is up there with the best of the stuff in 4 - 6, it's a wonderfully shot scene and the sound is perfect. But people would rather bleat about what they don't like about them and I find that tiresome.

That makes more sense. Well in that case, Parts 1 -3 get too much bad press.

I was agreeing with you. They're universally known as 'the prequels', not sure why you're being picky.

I agree with SD13. The prequels are flawed, some more than others, but I'd rather have flawed prequels than none at all. And I think people focus too much on Phantom Menace when the subject comes up. Clones was a decent enough film and Sith had some truly great moments, especially Vaders mask first going on then the breathing. Pure class. Anyhoo, the trailer gets me even more pumped for VII. At 47 I shouldn't be as excited about as I am but as they say - old enough to know better, young enough not to care.
