While this is true, remember it is OBI-WAN who says this about absolute good and evil, and I think one point is that Obi-wan's judgment ain't that good (I'd rate it with David's when it comes to women). I think this was subtle: OW says there is no absolute good and evil, yet he has already shown he's clueless.

Now wait just a cotton pickin' minute here!

MARK HAMILL is 53???!?!?!?!!!

That is simply not possible, see, because if Mark Hamill is really 53 (?!!!!???!?!?), that would make me....oh, nevermind...let's just say I'm not 12 anymore.

Tempus does indeed fugit.

Regards,

You're welcome. I saw it earlier today and considered posting it as a new thread, but decided to wait until I saw a current thread on the new release where I could post it as a comment.

that is INSANE....put in 91505 and look at the theaters at Universal Studios.

Wow, not bad considering that's where I was at 12:01 am this morning. Didn't even have to wait in line, just showed up 5 min before show time and grabbed a nice seat in the rear. Alot easier when the wife and kids aren't there also.

Actually in Tunisia. Looks like they had China for Kashyyyk, and Switzerland for Alderaan too.

Where are you seeing a movie in this state for $5? Last time I went to a movie here in Raleigh it was like $7.50 about two years ago

And you can see movies for $5 in the early afternoon in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Yeah maybe Eastland Mall.. ;) I'm just kidding with you TC. That's a good deal.

I can see their point of view. However, I really have always seen the similarities from this movie in the political realm and when those that either don't bother to question out of apathy or refuse to question out of loyalty to a party allow the Republic to disappear

"Anyway, it's just another sci-fi movie."

I'm with you. I'll never know what the fuss was all about. There's someone I work with, who is goofy about the Lord of the Rings trilogy or something. He's a grown man and he acts like a little kid talking about wookis or schmookies or whatever they are. He took a day off work to watch all three movies back to back to back. He even camped out the night before at the theater. Whatever.

I wouldn't sit in a theater all day to save my life. I love football, but I wouldn't watch three games in a row either.

Anyway, are the Star Wars freaks also Rings freaks? Or is there some kind of law against that? I rarely talk to this goofball at work, and I didn't feel like asking him because he might get the wrong impression that I give a rats tail.

I'll be in the cineplex tomorrow watching this film. I don't care if George Lucas IS a creepy Marin County liberal spouting leftie propaganda. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, to see this saga brought to conclusion.

That said, I'll only see it once...then wait for the DVD.

Eastland Mall is convenient for me. I may have to invite someone who's packing, though :-). But seriously, I think I'll wait for the dollar theater before I take the kids.
