What Swanky Things are you Watching?

innerSpaceman · 03-04-2005, 12:21 PM

Heheh, I think that all of the Star Wars sequels and prequels are pretty crappy. I'm very fond of the O.T. and hate what Lucas has done to change it. I think the prequels are among the worst movies ever made ... though, as I said, Ep II was palatable enough for me to enjoy on the first viewing (and only the first).

That all being said, the line-ups for Star Wars in 1980, 1983, 1999 and 2002 have been some of the absolute most fun times of my fun-filled life, and that's what I'm in it for. The Line. It's almost too much good times, but not quite. I've made some very good friends through these Star Wars lines. Oh, and next weekend I am performing the wedding ceremony of two friends who met at the 2002 line when he came to see the movie from Wales, and now he has moved here to marry his California sweetheart. How romantic is that?!

I'm an OT purist. I've never seen the SEs and I never will...Lucas claiming "artistic license" over changing the films is truly laughable.

I've met some of my best friends in the world through the Star Wars fan universe, and though I haven't met most of the Lining Up crew yet (including iSm) I know I'm gonna have a rockin' good time waiting for the new flick with all of them -- whether Ep. III sucks as badly as the other two or not. (Actually my expectations are so low I imagine it can't disappoint!)

I just wish Naugles was still around so I could recapture my '83 experience...

Heh - minus the food poisoning and explosive diareah after the show. Or were you one of the folks who didn't save their burrito for breakfest?

I remember having an extra burrito left over after the movie, looking at it, and saying "nah, not a good idea" to myself before tossing it. And back then, throwing out food was a decision not reached lightly. I was only earning around $4.00 an hour. And I think those burritos were over $2.00. Butso yeah, I ate my other burrito earlier and had no untoward effects.

EDIT: more burrito info than you'd care to shake a stick at...

This I can totally dig. I wish you the best on all that (and kinda wish I could still geek out like that). I just wish it didn't mean more publicity/money for that bastard.
