Revenge of the Sith... Anyone going tonight?

Jennie@ifish · 05-18-2005, 05:29 AM

Argh... My son is going to travel all the way to 185th with his friends to see the 12:00 AM opening of the movie.
I am scared spitless to have him drive home with all the drunks on the road at that time.
But.... This is his senior celebration thing.

Is anyone else going?

Wish I was still young enough to have that much get-up-and-go! If I didn't leave for work at 5am every day, I'd do it!!

Rave reviews on this one, the final installment...hope it's much better than the last two!!

Jennie, I don't think there will be to many of those drunks on the road at 3am

I am probably going tonight

Jennie@ifish · 05-18-2005, 08:39 AM

I think you are right. I'm just being Mom.
Go ahead, roll your eyes, but I worry about my six foot four baby!

I don't think I was cut out to be a Mother for teenagers. I was much better at it when they were little! :smile:

Chub, this is off topic, but man I laugh every time I see your avatar. Guess I'm just easily amused. :grin:

Who is driving? You might want to sit down and have a little talk witn them regarding drinking, driving, speed limit, horseplay, defensive driving,drowsy driving seatbelts etc.

Good grief, there's been three folks camped out on the sidewalk here for at least two days now at the local theatre.....In LaGrande???

High Life · 05-18-2005, 12:26 PM

some of the seniors at my school didnt even come to school today.they are standing in line waiting for it to open at midnight.i know of 2 other students and one teacher that are going to the midnight showing.i was never really that big of a fan of science fiction, so i doubt i will see it

reeldick · 05-18-2005, 12:47 PM

Anyone else going you ask? I'm old enough that I can't remember the last time I stayed up until midnight. Bed by 10:00 and up at 5:00. I just can't keep my eyes open late at night anymore.

Striper Club · 05-18-2005, 01:55 PM

I would fall asleep. :smile: I think I will check it out in a matinee this week depending on crowds (I hate big movie crowds).

slinkey · 05-18-2005, 02:56 PM

I'm more likely to get up at 3 AM rather than be going to bed. A theater showing at Midnight? I ussually fall asleep in front of a DVD showing by 10:00.

wthr4d · 05-18-2005, 03:21 PM

not jsut one showing!! there is a theater in Salem that is showing it in ALL of their theaters...three shows at 12:01am, two shows at 12:02am, and another starting at 12:03am

If I didnt have a big physics test coning up on friday Id be on Fandango getting set up for the opening night show. I like to go and watch the crowds of dressed up people and see the comraderie.

I dont go often but I took the kids to the last Harry potter as a family outing and the wife and I did the midnight opener of Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. I think we have hit our quota of midnight shows for a while though.

What does that have to do with tonight

Everybody study's at the last minute, didn't you get the memo

Pretty good, not great

I am a big fan, but Lucas just doesn't have the magic anymore. He needed to bring in some different writers because the man really has no clue on how to write dialog

Jennie@ifish · 05-19-2005, 07:19 AM

Andrew went and had a great time. He's still alive, too!
Whooo hoooo!

I would have to say the movie was classic Star Wars... look at the first 3, they had cheesy dialog too. Star Wars is supposed to be that cheesy sci-fi comic book come to life!

Did anyone else notice General Grevious (sp?) eyes and his beating black heart... those sure looked like Darth Maul's eyes

Slayer · 05-23-2005, 06:10 AM

Interesting idea 5 Cents? I love the general story of Star Wars but think Lucas lost it afer the 1st one. Was ad to see Anaken choose the Dark side. I really liked him, and his love affair with the princess. Evil only leads to one place, He11!

Striper Club · 05-23-2005, 08:18 AM

I watched the new one again, and felt better about it. EP1 was utter garbage, EP2 had some moments, but was not really that good, but EP3 was good...very solid. Portman looked lost, but that didn't really mess things up too much since there were plenty of nice scenes to overshadow the flaws.

I would have liked to seen a more detailed view of Anakin's journey to the dark side....after all, that was the whole point of the new trilogy.

I decided to watch IV-VI again and it is pretty cool how Vader(and Kenobi, for that matter) takes on a new light, so I guess George pulled that off nicely.
