I'm POSITIVE I'm not the only geek going to see Episode III at Midnight....am I??
I got 8 tix for the 12:01am DLP showing. Told all my programmers today that we'd be working late...a couple got pissed...then I told them WHY. I also gave them tomorrow off for having to work so late. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) We DID tell the 'new guy' that we were all dressing up...and he was Chewbacca. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) So who else is going? |

I'm going tonight. At first, I was like "I'm getting too old for this shit." Then I thought about it some more, and Lucas is never going to make 7, 8 & 9, so this is it. The last Star Wars coming to a theater near you. So why not? It's fun to stand in line and see all the freaks that come out to play. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

My wife and I are going! It's at the Fremont, which is this HUGE old art deco theater in San Luis Obispo. It's gonna be awesome, but I'm not looking forward to the line.

I will be in class until then, if I am not too sleepy I may go out and see if it is playing anywhere. Otherwise, it will wait till a matinee during the day when I can go. Maybe tomorrow? Yeah, I am a geek too. I have every episode on DVD and VHS. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Royce, the line is the best part! It's like camping out, but not. We've got a group going together. Bring a throw blanket, throw it on the sidewalk, and sit your ass down! Bring a DVD player and watch episode 1 and 2 if you want. Sure to draw a crowd. We rarely get together with our friends, so its a perfect excuse for a nice BS session.
Scott, if you didn't get tickets already, it *should* be sold out. A matinee sounds great. I wish I could see it as a matinee. Cheaper too.

Yeah, it'll probably be ok, but I just can't get myself to look forward to it. I just hate lines in general I guess. I might bring the laptop, there's a coffee shop near the theater that has free wireless. We already watched episodes 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, and all of the clone wars cartoon series (supposedly fills in between episodes 2 and 3). |

i'm pretty sure it'll be out on DVD by Christmas :-) ... but i have to share my "line" story. i went to see THE 'Star Wars' movie when it was "THE" Star Wars movie -- what we now call "Episode IV" (no one knew why then...) it opened on a Friday, there was a writeup in NewsWeek that showed a picture of Han Solo and Chewbacca and we thought it'd probably be pretty hokey but worth a shot. went for the Saturday midnight showing and the word was starting to get out. we figured the place would be deserted but there was a line around the theatre which we duly got at the end of. an hour goes by, but the people at the front of the line had been there for almost two. eventually the line starts to move, and some of the people leaving the prior showing say stuff like "it's worth the wait" so there is hope... we get to the theatre proper and - there's nobody there! went and got great seats smack in the middle of the theatre. finally figured it out: half the people in front of us had passed the time drinking beer; the other half were passing joints up and down the line. the beer people split for the bathrooms, the grass people headed straight for the snack bar, and those of us who hadn't been working so hard to get a good buzz on got the good seats! |

My son and his friends are going at 1am. It is a school night so that should be interesting. I remember driving to Hollywood to see the original Star Wars. It was excellent. Mistake I made was going a second time and getting run into by someone getting on to the freeway. Ofcourse being young and long haired it ended up being my fault. Honestly I was minding my own business and this lady just ran into my right front wheel and sent me into the fast lane where I got the whole left side of the car tore off. Everybody sued me and I fought it in court. Nobody showed up in court to fight it but somehow I got the judgement against me. I have never had a whole lot of faith in our justice system since then. So that's how I remember Star Wars. Hopefully history will not repeat itself. It will be sad to think there will not be another episode. It has been a great run though.

Just got back...here's the report.
KICK ASS! This is the 'Star Wars' everyone has been waiting for. The dialog is better than the last two. The love scenes still suck. But damn if that little muppet can't kick some ass. More tomorrow...I'm tired as hell...and I've got to wake up and paint my bumpers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

We finally have a decent theater in Helena, which opened this week just in time for Episode III. By decent I mean stadium seating, comfy seats, 8 big screens, digital sound, and online ticket purchasing. Got a free preview Tuesday night (saw 'Be Cool'). You don't even want to know what the old theaters are like. I expect them to dry up and blow away really soon. I can't even imagine what ROTS would look like in a digial projection theater and/or IMAX. My head would explode.
About a dozen geeks from work are playing hookie and going to the 2:15 showing today, the first daytime showing. |
