Star Wars?
 

I dont get it.

Who the hell waits in line 4 hours to see any movie?
Why would you camp out to see a movie?

If any of you girls are dating a guy that has seen Star Wars 47 times, owns action figures, toy light sabers, or costumes, you should dump these guys immediately. I think these guys should also seek help.

"Here, Here! I'll drink to that!"

That's nothing - there are geeks out there who have camped out since January to get tickets... :rolleyes:

Saw it last night - so awesome :). Ordered the tickets the night before online - got to the theater an hour and a half beforer it began and ended up in the Digital theatre by total fluke. I've heard there's only one digital theatre in Canada, but I can't believe that Vancouver has one and TO doesn't.

I had to use a jedi mind trick to see it. . . They were like: The theatre is sold out for all shows . . . I responded: Maybe there is room for just two more and maybe you should let us in for free. . . They echoed: Maybe there is room for two more, maybe we will let you in for free . . .

So anyway, I got to see it last night. It was fun. No real depth, and I can't say I cared much about the characters but the effects were cool.

There was a significant age difference between the two main characters that were in love . . . did anyone think about that?

That was quite rude. I'm no huge star wars fan myself...but I would nearly guarentee that there is something that you like, yet you have no logic for doing so other than it really entertains you.

Who the Hell does it?

A ton of very normal people who enjoy that sort of thing. Why must you put what they have fun doing down so much. That's very quite rude and elitist of you. I'm sorry, but it offends me that you're saying you're so normal, and that those people are so weird. So should all the guys dump all their girls who own $200 purses, cause who the hell spends $200 on a bag to carry their things when they could get one for $15.

My only question is, does Ewan McGregor get naked for any reason? Rowr!!

I think that Amidala was VERY young when she was queen in the 1st movie - like 14. Anakin was around 9. So the age difference is really not that huge. It just looks worse because Natalie Portman looks the same age she did in the first movie.

Jim Rome has clowned on the campers for Star Wars tickets during his national sports talk radio show.:D

I watched it yesterday... caught the Matinée before the K-12 grade schools let out. No line, got good seats, it was very nice.

As for the people that came with the light sabres, who clapped during the movie and cheered in the fight scenes...

Well.. To each his own. If nothing else it adds to the atmosphere. Hard to get the same entertainment value for $11 (GF's ticket and mine).

There was one part of the movie at the end where people started clapping and shouted "Go Yoda!" . . but it was kind of cool. Yoda kicked ass in this movie . . .

33 girl I believe you are correct, Queen Amidala was supposed to be like 12 in the first movie and Annakin was like 8. But she looked like a 12 that would send us boys to jail for statutory rape ;). Damn . . .

But seriously, she looked 20ish in the first movie so it was kind of like a 30 year old girl deciding to marry an 18 year old boy . . .

We didn't wait at all, and no saber carrying people were there. We went on Thursday at 1:15 and it was a great flick. Better than the first one...really enjoyed it.

Yoda was funny, I think more people laughed than clapped.

I found out on last night's news that there was a Star Wars movie coming out. I HAD NO CLUE!! :rolleyes: Guess you all can guess that no, I have not seen it.

Yet another reason why Romey's the total ish - bang your monkeys people, and join the f-ing jungle. It's about that time.





(up all night . . . sorry)

Anyone catch the talking dog skit last night...?

Triumph chewed into some of these guys who had been waiting in line for days. I felt sorry for some of these poor bastards, taking his abuse like a defenceless animal.

I mean i did laugh, but jezz he was giving it to them pretty badly. Saying stuff like "this is what a nerd circle-jerk looks like" when the camera panned to a group of guys hitting eachother with plastic life swords.

Re: Conan O'brien
 

I think I laughed so hard at that skit because it WAS so mean. . . I was glad I wasn't "That guy" there in line. They were pretty good sports about it, or too weak to do anything or say anything back. Passive victims, it made me want to be mean to them.

Favorite lines by the dog were:

"Have you ever talked to a girl that didn't ask for your credit card number first?"

"Oh, so you are giving birth to a little nerd (to a pregnant woman)? In 6 weeks? Well that is the last time he will ever see female genitalia . . ."

(to the crowd) "The first question is: What was Han Solo frozen in? (the crowd answers correctly)" The dog replies," No! The correct answer is: Who gives a shit!."

The whole skit had me rolling. :D

Yeah....or that one dork with glasses that eventually replied, "I don't deal with lower life forms"...."wow, you must be a pretty lonely guy"

...what the hell was that guy dressed like a wizard doing? holy s*&$ he's seriously F*$&ed.

I'm not a Star Wars fan so I would never really paid much attention to the release date. I finally realized that the movie was in theaters last night when I was at Universal Studios' City Walk. There's a movie theater there and I was walking to The Latin Quarter (dance club/restaurant/bar) I saw a group of people dressed exactly like the characters from the movie. Now, that's what I call a REALLY big fan! :)

Yoda, that is all I have to say...

Re: Re: Conan O'brien
 

That had to be one of the funniest things that I have ever seen on tv! Especially the pregnant woman! :D

How was it, without giving the story. I won't be able to see it till June 21st. Stupid delays. But I had one of my friend made us a jedi robe. So cool.

I found the movie to be a bit campy. I hope that Episode 3 is better. There were some parts where the entire audience was just laughing, and it wasn't a time when laughter is what George Lucas was going for. Less Jar Jar (which is good) but I think some of the dialogue could have been better too.

Whoever played Anakin was a miserable actor. It didn't help his lines were very corny, but he was supposed to be immature, but he acted like a five year old, not an 18 years old. I simply think had anyone else played that role, the movie would be 10 times greater than what it was. Like I said though, it didn't help when he had lines like "Without you, I can't breathe." What a corny attempt at a romantic line.

This film sets the audience up, however, greatly for the original star wars series though, leaving the next of the prequels to tye a ton of loose ends together. This movie introduces much of the characters and motives for the things we never saw in the original trilogy. Not so much that we fully understand...just that we see an unrest, that hopefully the final of the prequel trilogy will secure for us.

Alright girls it't time to confess.

Who is dating a guy that comes to bed dressed as Darth Vader and has a toy light saber?

ME! :D

Finally!!!
 

I'm a huge Star Wars geek... I use to be a part of the "Official Star Wars Fan Club"... I have movie literature saying the last Star Wars movie as "Revenge of the Jedi" rather than "Return of the Jedi"... :rolleyes:

At any rate, don't you think that this whole Dark Side of the Force would've been averted if Annakin just got a little nooky from Padme... I mean, DAYUM already... Just put out and put his butt to sleep!!! I bet he'd been a little more relaxed...

What do you think?

Re: Finally!!!
 

I Agree AKA_Monet! Sooo much human pain and misery would be avoided if men just got some really good nooky . . often. :D

Seriosusly though, how many men would want to say, start a war after having amazing intimate sex? Hell, he'd probably sleep though the whole war cabinet meeting.

I loved it!!!
 

I was dragged to see the first Star Wars movie by my BF and I was glad I went. :) I could not wait for the next one and I saw it on Fri. when it came out. I LOVED IT!!! I* cannot wait until the next one!!

Ronnie :D

Don't hate...

'Cuz if you hate, it looks like you ain't gettin' any or it ain't good...

'Cuz if you were gettin' some and it was gggooooddd...

Then you'd have no reason to hate...

Unless you are into that S&M chit... And you need a Dominatrix...

I always say, make love, not war...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With this last movie, did anyone get the feeling that Count Dooku is somehow related to Anakin? Like his father... 'Cuz in episode 1, Anakin had a high concentration of "jedi juice"? Only a Jedi parent can give that high concentration of "jedi juice"... Hmmmm... And Shmi Skywalker didn't really have control over her impregnation... At least that is what she said... How'd she become a slave in the first place? Hmmmmm...

I saw Star Wars last week and I thought it was okay. I thought the first episode was better...just too much going on in this one I think. Like SigmaChiCard said, the dialog of the "romantic" scenes were corny.

I don't think Haden Christensen (sp?) is a sucky actor (I liked him in Life As A House), but I think the character was forced. I felt as though ALL the acting in the first half an hour was stiff...it got a little better as the movie went on.

The Yoda fight was definitely one of my favorite parts. :)
