Obligatory "I saw Star Wars!1111!1!1" post
10 years ago
So I saw Store Wars: OMG, Dude--The Force!! I KNOW!! or whatever it's called.
A month? or so ago--when tix went on sale--my homeskillet bought me a tick so I was kinda obligated to go opening night (something I usually avoid because I have social anxiety and crowds make me wanna crawl into the ventilation duct and hide Solid Snake style). Suffer the L.A. traffic to take 50 minutes to drive like 11 miles, then go to the huge theater at Universal.... Ugh.
Anyway, there were lots of cool cosplay freaks there but I already saw the bulk of them at Comikaze a month and a half ago so.... Yeah. Good crowd, tho'! Nice to be in nerdland, so maybe that's why I still had fun.
I gotta say that I saw the AV Club's recent post on the film and agree pretty much entirely with their points. It's still a great movie to see but I could give criticism, for sure. While it's way better than those vapid, clumsy piles of refuse Lucas vomited up as the Anakin Skywalker trilogy, I didn't think it was as iconic or awesome as the first two films.
Still...I dunno! If you're a Star Wars fan...you won't need to hear it from me, but you'll enjoy it. If you haven't seen them, it's a pretty fun sci-fi action film, so you'll probably still be like "that was pretty cool!"
Oh yeah now for spoilers!!
Stuff blows up a lot
OK back to work (I guess....)
