Amazon.com - The bastion of hope for film goobers

I just got Star Wars 1-3 (the only ones that matter ... the Luke Skywalker ones). These are the limited edition, unaltered versions (Han shoots first, crappy effects, etc.)

I ordered them from Amazon.com. Now, the news of these editions coming out started about in April-May, 'cause I've had these on order since about May. They just came out this Tuesday (9/12). Buuut ... between May & last Tuesday, there have been about 200+ people who have logged on with their "reviews" (i.e. bullshit opinions) about this set. "Lucas is a money-grubbing whore." "These are just dupes from the laserdisc versions." "I won't be screwed out of more money for this crappy series." Blah blah, ad nauseum.

First of all, I'm sick of people who review shit before it comes out. That's a preview, you fucking douches, and there's no forum for that. Plus, I'm a big movie fan, but I'm not a cinephile; I don't care about stereo surround, or aspect ratios (Is it widescreen, yes or no? Don't bore me with details.), or anamorphic shit. If I can see it, hear it, and I enjoy it, fuck off. I'm not one of these obsessed mongoloids that spent all their parents' money on the VHS boxed set, the laserdisc set, the 2004 DVDs, the DVD editions of the prequels, the 2005 DVD boxed set, and are now pissed that the unaltered DVD editions have come out. Yes, Lucas is a dirty money-thieving whore; he wouldn't be if he didn't know that there are jackasses that would fall for the shit. Besides, if you're a one-trick pony, then you flog the skin from that's pony's back for as long as that pony will still pull. Look at Kevin Smith's film output. Hyah, mule! *whi-PAH*

Well, I got my copies in the mail today. And guess what? They're absolutely fine; exactly what I was hoping and expecting them to be. Fuck you, Amazon.com customer reviews; why don't you all just migrate to Wikipedia and fuck up some entries and die already?
