I was a teenager and into film when Star Wars came out but I never had the slightest desire to see it. The bits I’ve seen failed to generate any interest. It’s always a little weird to be so out of phase with an extremely popular phenomenon. Sometimes a thing just goes right over your head. Here we are all these years later still talking about Star Wars.
Ditto, prior to Star Wars, the only movie I had seen in a theater was M.A.S.H.
Not into crowds or theaters.
But a friend convinced me to go to it, and it was worth it.
I was 22 at the time.
Now I have seen maybe 10 or so movies in theaters.
