I do not see the appeal in eating something that spicy.

Then you fail at life.

Agreed. People are stupid

I see the appeal but don't care to eat them personally. I like hot food though. But the thing I think is stupid is this trend of ranking new cultivars as the new "hottest pepper in the world" when they barely edge each other out. The difference between 1st and 2nd place there is a little more than 100,000 scoville units, less than 10% of either pepper. The variation between one sample and another WITHIN a specific cultivar can be much much more than 10%.

I once had 3 naga jolokia stick-blended into tomato soup; I posted about it...

Star Wars is a bit overrated.

Having negative emotions/arguments against things that are 'overrated' is, by definition, allowing others to determine your point of view. It's an attempt to get out of the social-construction of enjoyable that fails in its very inception.

Take it out of context though and rate them as just films and they lose a lot of their magical aura.

I disagree with a-historical understanding of film. Not to say that a film shouldn't hold up over time, but rather the technical merit of a film should be understood in its context and if a story seems pat, trite or even derivative you should take into account when it was made.

A few examples: The twilight-zone is the very basis of a number of modern scifi movies/tv epesodes; further every episode of the original start-trek is highly predictable because of the number of times the ideas from that show have been repeated. Similarly, while the hero's journey is trite by today's standards: the magic of bringing it into the stars and integrating far-eastern philosophy was revolutionary.

Star-wars holds up today for myriad reasons, by dismissing it as over rated you ironically allow the group to decide your tastes and, there by, lose out on the contemporary enjoy-ability and an understanding of its historic influence on cinema.

Dude, go fucking watch star wars right fucking now. Not the new ones. Never watch those.

Not so fast. We know it's almost impossible for the layperson to see the original films in their un-bastardized form.

It's from a commercial. The gif cuts out the part where it flings him into the shelves behind him.

I got the special edition DVD set from a few years ago. Includes a comic book and the unedited versions on a 2nd disc. BUT, they are letterbox, not widescreen. Also, no restoration of the video and audio.

I'll let my dad know there is a market for his Star Wars RCA Videodiscs.
