Midnight showing of "Revenge of the Sith"

[baltimoron]

Soooo, what I think your really trying to say is she's Israeli, hot, and Jewish

Not to cool with the whole - "I will kill anyone that begs to differ" :58: Violates the TOS.

:joke: Oh, c'mon. You know what I meant.

We haven't yet scheduled a date for the wedding, since, well... I have to get her to consent to marry me. Rest assured, though. Once we have a date, I am sure you all will be invited, and the wedding will be somewhere where one can dive. The only problem is that we have to get a good rabbi to come over too. No matter.


:wallywink <= BTW, isn't this a a little against the TOS?! :11:

Oy vey! Yes, 'putz' isn't good and I should scratch that smilely..and 'killing someone' isn't good either..but, let's all pretend we're grown up and can get through this. OK? :winky:

I was disappointed with it.

If you're a Star Wars fan (as I am) then you knew beforehand every loose end that had to be tied up in this movie.....and that's exactly what he did and not one thing more.

One by one he goes along all the loose ends and pings them all off. It seemed like systematically knocking over pawns on a chess board that's been unfolding for almost 30 years. My wife, who is not a Star Wars fan asked me before the movie what to expect and I told her a possible plot line and it turned out to match the movie almost 100%. I've never seen a more predictable POS in my life. I really really really wanted him to surprise me with at least one thing, one more loose end, one twist, one surprise, one "ah HA!" moment but he didn't.

The long, drawn out, incredibly telegraphed-through-three-movies conversion of Skywalker to the dark side was so anticlimactic, so "easy" so cheap and devoid of any further development of the character that the rest of the movie after that point fell flat on it's bloated patoosh. After that point it was just one big "hurry up and finish" exercise that, to me, was an absolutely disgraceful end to the Star Wars saga.

And I really wanted to see fireworks. We've waited for this movie for decades and I have to conclude that it just wasn't worth it.

I just want to add something to what I already wrote, which is that the FX were superb, the action was the best of any of the Star Wars movies and the acting was really terrific. I think if you knew a little less about the Star Wars movies going in that you might find it a little better. It was clear from the onset that it was going to be difficult to make this last movie unpredictable. I just think Lucas didn't try hard enough to make it surprising. It needs some twists and there are none.

I watched it last WEDNESDAY, the day before Thursday, we started it at about 130 am. My boss had a private screening at his house about 12 people total and the most sound overkill you have ever heard in a theater. Your typical AMC or UA sounds like a bookshelf system next to his screening room.

As for the movie, pretty good. I hated chancellor palpatine's voice. Sounded like he had to hawk a lugi through the whole movie.

My husband went to see it at midnight here, he loved it, but the film cut to a scene at the end halfway through, then they took 10mins to get it back to the right place, so he ended up getting a free ticket to another movie. I went to see it with him on friday and I liked it. I couldnt bring myself to stay up and watch it at midnight though!

They must have been running 2000ft changeovers and threaded up the wrong reel. If it would have been a misplaced reel on a platter it would have taken at least an hour. A lot of times they ship these prints just hours before they have to run and there is not enough time to check it properly.

LIGHT-SABRE DUEL PUTS TWO IN HOSPITAL

TWO Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after duelling
with lightsabres made by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.

The pair - a man aged 20 and a girl of 17 - are believed to have been
filming a mock fight when one of the devices exploded in woodland on Sunday.

They were rushed to West Herts Hospital before being transferred to the
specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, in Essex.

Police say a third person present at the incident was questioned.

yeah i read that... couldn't believe it

also, i have a question:

if in the Star Wars universe they have super duper ships and lightsabers
and clones and what not, why can't they come up with a reliable
contraceptive?

if i was Luke i would have asked Darth Vardar for a DNA test .....
