It's 0020 and no Star Wars. Why?

Well, the ticket says 5/18/05 12:01 am. That would be 19 minutes ago, right?

Well, apparently movie theaters don't use a real calendar, as they count that as "Wednesday Night" and not "Wednesday AM" like evey other person on the face of the Earth.

Grrrr.

Anyways, I get to do this all again tomorrow night it seems.

They may as well brush other movies aside in the theaters and devote all cinemas to the new Star Wars flick! Here's hoping that SW Ep 3 smashes the record for sales set by that long and mostly boring flick from years ago called "Titanic."

France is lucky, they got to see it a day earlier than the rest of us folks. Think George is political? Sure he is, just like most of us are!

How important is it to see this on a Digital screen?

The reason I ask is I got a free ticket for this Friday nite - paid for by my horrible employer no less - but its not a Digital screen.

And I remember Roger Ebert made a big deal of saying it is very blurry on regular screens...

Should I use the ticket to sneak into Kingdom of Heaven instead?

Don't know myself- but I can tell you thaqt about 40% of the movie is going to be FX shots if they do it right.

Lono, explain to the theater your situation and kindly ask that you be allowed into a digital screen room if possible.

As for my being in a VIP cinema room, it's not the QE2, but it is something so simple (like a van with doors on EITHER side?) that I think a LOT of Americans would go for if it was available. It's only 2-3 bucks more per ticket, and I've spent WAY more than that on my partying years!

Makes for a great night out with a loved one or a date as well...

Not a spoiler, per-se, but you may be spoiled after watching it....

Too bad I cannot say it here!

I had a thought tonight....

If all Stormtroopers are clones of Jenga Fett, and he was reasonably tall (6'1" ~ 6'3" or so....) Leah's comment to 5"10" Luke on the Death Star just fits in a whole lot better:

"Aren't you a little SHORT for a Stormtrooper....?"

So then the question is: Did Lucas plan this back in 1977, or was this just a throw-away line that he wrote in at the time that became significant through the random process of story-telling 25 years later?

Iceman · « **Reply #28 on:** May 19, 2005, 01:56:51 am »

Throw away line if you ask me.

Anyways, just got back from the theater. Not bad, not bad. It wasn't the spectacular end all of Star Wars, but it was an excellent film. Worth your money, I say.

I was a little disappointed, though with the end. I just wanted a bit more. But oh well, still, great stuff!

yup, very good movie except for the very end. It's just like the game. I would have expect a little better for the movie.

Is it only me or Padme was awful in this one. Acting wise.

My favorite character in this movie is definatly a tie between the Emperor and Yoda. They were both great. The wookies were very well done. I just wished we'd see more of them.

Probably go see it again tomorow

Went to 1201 showing.

The book is better than the movie, Hands Down. Movie is good, but not as good as the book

Rankings:

1) Ep V
2) Ep IV
3) Ep III
4) Ep VI
5) Ep II
6) Ep I

AcePylut · « **Reply #32 on:** May 19, 2005, 11:13:08 am »

Pretty good I thought it was. Act Mr Christiansen can, AotC compared to.

Shocked was I when Vader became, 'more' dialogue I expected.

After "the duel", had more words by Obi been spoken, cried I would have. Best acting in series, that dialogue was thought I.

Padme no act, but hottie she remains. Wish to see her nipples, I do.

See this movie four or five times, I will.

Help me stop speaking like a little green puppet, you must!!

PS - am I the only one that isn't a "TESB rulz" fanboi? That episode was better than TPM and AotC, but ANH and RotJ smoke it hands down in my opinion.

Iceman · « **Reply #33 on:** May 19, 2005, 11:25:27 am »

ANH was such a slow moving movie though. I think most people only like it because it was the first.

ESB was definitly awesome, the fight between Vader/Luke is still amazing. (though you do have to wonder about Vader's lightsaber skills after seeing him and Kenobi go at it)

MY ranking

V
VI
III
II
IV
I

OK, to answer that question, I'll delve into the Wonderful World of D20:

Any cybernetic part (i.e. hand, foot, etc) attached leads to a -2 penalty for Force Ability checks. Since Darth Vader as he stands in Episode VI has about a -18 due to all the robo-junk attached, he can't make the rolls to do all those fancy tricks anymore. Add to that the fact that his skills haven't been tested in over 2 decades...

Well, he's not quite the man he used to be.

I went to the 12:01 at my local theater. The scene I have been waiting for for 28 years is finally on. Obi-Wan and Darth Vader going at each other while riding a river of lava. And then...THE F&*^$#G PROJECTOR BREAKS!!!

Needless to say, people were not happy. It was finally fixed in about 20 minutes, but the flow was broken

But I get a chance to see it again tonight with my nephews.

Iceman · « **Reply #36 on:** May 19, 2005, 02:47:20 pm »

That's just horribly comical.

Commander La'ra · « **Reply #37 on:** May 19, 2005, 04:00:39 pm »

You know, the next time I watch Episode IV and hear the line 'When last we met, I was but a learner..." I'll think to what happened in III and go 'no sh*t.'

Obi-Wan's 'You are the chosen one!' speech hit me. He sounded convincingly betrayed...like he might not have believed in the prophecy, but he had believed in Anakin.

AcePylut · « **Reply #38 on:** May 19, 2005, 04:15:49 pm »

Me too La'ra. That was probably the best acting in the entire series I thought. If Lucas would have stretched it out a little bit longer, I, and the entire theater, might have shed tears... it was that deathly silent in there during that scene.

Iceman · « **Reply #39 on:** May 19, 2005, 04:34:14 pm »

Indeed. I was wondering how they were going to make it so it wasn't like leaveing a funeral home after than scene.
