Simon Pegg and Alan Moore are based, most of the others are elitist pricks

>Simon Pegg
hes literally part of the problem
>taking a role in the pandering nostalgia garbage of TFA

Only one of these people will be remembered in 70 years, and it will be because of his role in a "fantasy world of sechondhand, childish banalities"

>everyone besides Alec Guinness

Yeah. Spaced WAS pretty good.

I know Asuka is some racist anime girl

Didn't he write a comic about Harry potter being the antichrist and porn of classic female literary characters?

I mean, they're not wrong. pegg can go suck a fat one, though, hypocrite.

So, capeshit personified?

Some of them have valid points, but I mean, just about every art form is a fucking capitalist conspiracy.

Pegg is no better, he probably gets a big fat check for every star trek he is in, but you don't see him ripping them up.

Cronenberg hit the nail on the head. Capeshit can be an art, but right now it isn't.

>SW movies are for children but they don't want to admit it. There's a small group of fans that do not like comic sidekicks. They want the films to be tough like The Terminator and they get very upset and opinionated about anything that has anything to do with being childlike

They aren't talking to you people. You're already a spent cache. You can't do anything or know anything that effects others or creates change. You human ballast.

The original quote is more close to when Anglos say "Blimey" at something that suprises them.
