Star Wars Weekend

[bigshane]

I really only have two questions about this movie.
1) Is it better than Avatar?
2) Is it anywhere close to as good as District 9 or Jurassic Park?

With all the super-hype surrounding this movie, I don't I think can be as impressed as they hope I will be Kind of like Avatar for me. By the time I saw Avatar, I was like, "Best movie of all time? Hardly...." Good special effects though.

Avatar was way over-hyped. I waited for Neflix on that one.

Reminder: Avatar = Pocahontas

Have I mentioned I blame Lucas?
I have been told the last unaltered release (for home) was 1986 laserdisc. I have the DVD set and they are ridiculous.

You might be interested in the "Harmy despecialized editions"

When I finally get around to watching the new one I thought I'd first re-watch the old ones in the "Machete order" which is; IV, V, skip I (Jar Jar and CSPANesque debates) and treat II, III as a flashback, then VI-Return of the Jedi, as the finale.

Count me in as another not terribly excited about Star Wars.

I havent been in a movie theater since the 80s. I think it was Song of the South at the Westminster mall.

My God, could you imagine the meltdown if "Song of the South" were released today?

Funny you mentioned that movie. We were just talking about it the other night. I believe it might be the only Disney movie never released for sale.

Not positive, I think it was, but it was pulled.
I borrowed a DVD copy of it from a buddy years ago. No idea how he got it, but it definitely isn't a camcorder taping TV.
It was NOT a commercial copy, so I suspect someone burned it from a VHS long ago.


Edit: Still have a VHS?

If only I had a time machine.

For me it's like trying to forget I ate a shit sandwich and then eat the same shit sandwich again. So I don't think they order will help. Skipping Ep 1 is solid advice. Unless you have kids who like JarJar Binks and pod racing.
