ridiculous claim

my roommate claims that no movie had better special effects than star wars until jurassic park. i have already pointed out the obvious counterexample of T2. what is there before that?

My roommate claims he can't tell the difference between butter and 'i cant believe its not butter'

I have trouble telling the difference telling the difference between 'I can't believe it's not butter' and the other margerine we get.

Sometimes I can't believe its not 'I can't believe it's not butter'.

I must say that i agree with him. Those movies special effects dont seem half bad even today.

[jeni] What kind of name is that? You could say that about anything in the store if you're stupid enough. You could stand in front of the lawn furniture, like:

"I can't believe it's not butter."
"It's lawn furniture."
"I know! I was expecting butter." [/jeni]

2001 has better special effects than the original Star Wars.

This sounds like a claim someone would make and then not back down from because it is so absurd and is much more humorous if he stands by it.
