Star Wars
beardbald:
Very excited. Star Wars hit when I was six so it was my childhood.

I saw the first (now fourth) on the second day of its release when I was fifteen. I had no idea what it was about, but a friend of my father had received four tickets he was not going to use, so he gave them to us.
The theater had a huge screen, so that first empire ship coming from the top of the screen really felt as if it was coming over us. I still have the premiere program from that night.
My eldest will be attending the midnight showing tonight. Half my office is down right giddy about it today.
Semi-Sly:
Star Wars; "Meh"!
As cinema, it is O.K. As Science Fiction literature it may be one level above "Indiana Jones" but I think it is second rate when compared to stories like "Dune" or "Starship Troopers; (Although the film versions of both were very disappointing)
What I find incredulous, (and downright scary), is how so many people can treat it as some kind of "religion" or "deep philosophical truth"! It is lightweight storytelling/entertainment at best; nothing more.
