I was surprised how many were good... particularly Variety's assertion that it is the best since Empire.

Will not read review, nor anything more. Seen two previews and that's enough. Every little bit more will be revealed when I go to see this the Saturday after next. Good to hear of good reviews.

Sprunk, you should catch Ewan 'Obi-Wan' McGregor in Guys&Dolls whilst you're in London (tenuous link).

i've thought about it, though I'm not much of a musical fan. I heard his best show was like five or six years ago, called 'Little Malcolm Versus the Eunuchs.'

Though I did see his fellow Trainspotter in Someone Who'll Watch Over Me. It was good.

Got a parents evening tomorrow night and I'm going straight after.

My wanker of a best friend claimed to have booked tickets for 12:30 tonight but actually he didn't.
I couldn't get a reason out of him as to why he hadn't actually booked or why the f### he said he had when he hadn't.

How the hell can you can you'll booked us tickets when you basically haven't?
Am I missing something here?

What annoying is I could have easily done it myself in 3 minutes while we were still on the phone. Some people are retards.

Two thumps up, equalling about 3 1/2 stars from Ebert and Roeper...I'm going to buy an advance ticket for one of the shows this weekend in a couple hours.

Got back a wee while or so, I really enjoyed it.
There are some bits I thought were ropey, sure...3 or so in particular. But I had a great time at the showing, the crowd were ace and I came out on a high.
Haven't really thought about it critically yet, but I did enjoy it a lot.

i can't wait!

er... but obvioulsy i have to... at least until 6.45 tonight innit?

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Thu May 19, 2005 3:25 pm

Talking of reviews, Time Out called it 'fair to middling.'

Anyway, I can make up my own mind in 5.5 hours...

Took thekids to see it last night.

Still a great movie. I think it ranks right up there with ESB.

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Thu May 19, 2005 6:49 pm

Gah, went to the cinema here after work last night, but it was sold out or something.

Hopefully will get to see it Friday though...

Post by **Computron** » Thu May 19, 2005 6:52 pm

I think it'll be pretty good, but saying it's as good as ESB is a tad premature?

I remember walking out of Clones thinking it was incredible, only to think critically about it a few days later and come to the conclusion that I was clearly nuts.

Should still be good tho.

Indeed. It's an awesome experience to watch at the cinema but comparisions while this one is still new in our minds should be saved.

Bringing balance to the debate? You must be the chosen one!

Can I interest you in a career in the dark side? You get your own reserved parking space, and all the lackies you can force-strangle!

The greatest hunting challenge!

You know they're protected... but I think I can russle you up three, though it won't come cheap... now let's talk payment, I'm thinking chimpanzees...

Eh, how 'bout I just give you access to my bank account? And even three of the little minxes would be juuuuusssstttt fine.

Post by **Kaylee** » Thu May 19, 2005 11:17 pm

You want minxes as well?!

Yikes, it's going to cost 14 chimps, 2 orangutans and a gibbon.

i also accept payprimate.

anything else you'd like to order? I have a special on guineapig flavoured liquors this week...

No, only Lemur's Club and Masterchimp I'm afraid.

The liquours come with a hollowed out tortoise to drink from!

Q: How do you approach so dark and Satanic a character as Chancellor Palpatine?

A: Well, for those who didn't see Return Of The Jedi, I just played a straightforward politician - charming, smiling, out for the good of the universe. But underneath that there lurks a monster. So it was very easy to build the character - I just looked in the newspapers.
