"Star Wars" gets revenge at People's Choice

[Mentalist]

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Epic space adventure "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" won best overall film and best drama honors on Tuesday at the People's Choice Awards, a widely watched measure of movie, television and star appeal.

In two other film categories, box office hit "Wedding Crashers" was named top comedy and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" was chosen as the favorite family movie.

For "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, the People's Choice Awards held special significance because winners are voted on by fans who cast ballots online, unlike other Hollywood honors given by industry groups and the media.
Despite being a multibillion-dollar film franchise, the six "Star Wars" movies have had a mixed record with critics and Hollywood award groups. "I'm not a big favorite with the critics, but who listens to them," Lucas said onstage. "The reason I make films is for you. The audience rules."

BUT I THOUGHT EVERYONE HATED THE PREQUELS!?!?!?!? DID TEMIS THE VORTA LIE TO ME!?!?!??!

I hated Episode III. I think it was hard-core prequel fans who hacked the website.

Seriously though, it's just an afterglow effect. By this time next year everyone will agree that III blows goats as much as the first two. I remember how everyone LOVED Episode I, and II, now everyone hates them.

George Lucas is a hack.

Only the ones who went to the cinema to see Serenity dressed as Wash, complete with plastic dinosaurs which they played with before the move, and sang "hero of Canton" in the lobby then later wondered why so few people went to see the movie. IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU SCARING NORMAL PEOPLE AWAY.

AND YES, this really happened because I remember people on TrekBBS boasting about they're "wicked Mal outfit!" and other such things. IT DID.

This reminds me off all the fond memories of taking the piss out of Vader's end scene in Episode III on here - especially the foreign language version.
