Even if you miss a few days, you can miss some "news" or some "sharing". Like the Finest Folks who are NOT Star Wars fans, might skip today's thread & miss some news. That is why I try to scan each day, even if the topic isn't one of my "hot" buttons.
I have a big screen TV (projection type) and it is much better than small, but to me NOT the same as big screen ... sound, pix, etc. for many movies it doesn't make a big difference.. but the ones with special effects, the epics etc, I love at theater. But I also know various circumstances make it difficult. We have bargain matinees here for 4.00 at the finest theaters in the area (Cinemark) and for me they are the two closest theaters to boot!
I agree with you re: the escapist element to these movies.. over the years they also have been a great tool in Church youth groups for discussion on the course of evil and the fight against it.
and star wars Lego's.. wow, I had forgotten about those..yes, Jeff had those also. I wish I had taken more pix of Jeff with his Star wars "things".. I have always been a photography nut but for some reason don't think I have any of this..
some other toys...
Someone's collection of ships & weaponry
