The ladies of my family are gathering to make holiday cookies while the guys are off to the imax.

I saw the Star Trek movie with the whale and San Francisco in a theatre but have never deliberately watched a Star Trek TV episode.

But I do like science fiction.

I did not bother with seeing the last two. I know nothing about the latest Star Wars movie. Can someone explain to me where it fits with the prior six movies and why I should see it?

I was a young teen when the first Star Wars movie was made. My best friend thought it was the best thing ever. I did not tell him I thought it was ok, I just never 'got it'. (He also had a Spock costume at Halloween while I was a 'wild and crazy guy' from SNL.)

release in 1977.

George Lucas made Episode 4, 5 and 6 in the 70's and 80's, one of the writers for Episode 5 and 6, Lawrence Kasdan co-wrote Episode 7, which is the new one coming out. So it takes place about 30 years after the Death Star has been destroyed for the second time and the "Rebellion won".
The old guys like Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher are in it too.

A bunch of us took the day off work, we are going to see it at noon and sneak in alcohol in flasks. Just like high school! Yay!

The chain did an email blast yesterday to announce the additional screenings Thursday at theaters across the country. The first screening at my local Cinemark will now be at 7pm Thursday, the day before the official Friday opening.

What did you think?

We all loved it. It probably helped that we were a bit tipsy when we saw it, too.

... which Star Wars isn't.

Enjoyed it, saw immediately how most of the plot was stolen, er, derived from other films, and I never went to a sequel.

Fun and superficial.

I did have a bumper sticker on my car for awhile. "Metaphors be with you."

share with me once it's out on DVD.

during their first runs. This will be no different but probably not first week. I get vacation time between christmas and new years so probably then.


I think i want to get the first 6 on blu-ray - my vhs are worn out.

Mars Bars. I like Snickers. Butterfingers. M and Ms are good too. So why is everybody talking all this stuff about Mars Bars. It's on the all the TeeVee commercials too.

Ahh--that's Star Wars.

Never mind.

All of us want to see it, but nobody is all that anxious to be crammed in like sardines with a bunch of strangers... So we'll wait a bit, and then make it a Sunday afternoon outing.

Only I will be medicated .

N/T

9 AM in IMAX.

But just not into them anymore.
So, probably not.

played-out Star Wars references and hear what's happening without ever watching one of the movies.

but i DO like sci fi , just don't plan on seeing this particular movie. the sw franchise has gotten much darker and more violent, and from what i have heard, this one might be the worst in that regard.

i like sci fi, but there is enough violence and sadism in real life imo
