Star Wars
Hoping there are some Star Wars fans out there!
I liked Ep 3 (revenge of the sith) the best, generally it was good all round; what's yours?

Re: Star Wars
I saw Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back when I was a lot younger, but even then I wasn't really that taken with them. In retrospect, it's probably because they're basically just a throwback to the space opera churned out by the 1930s pulp science fiction magazines, i.e. standard western plots, but in space. I've not seen any of the newer ones but I understand they're all a bit shit, so I'm not really bothered about seeing them. So I would choose "none of them", but that's not an option.

Re: Star Wars
I watched the original trilogy recently since it seemed like something everyone should do, and I thought it was alright. I like movies which create their own universe and have some kind of internal consistency, which it does (and then gets completely broken by the new triology but anyway). I kinda wished I'd seen it as a kid when the ropey dialogue wouldn't have bothered me so much.

Re: Star Wars
Sometimes advertising is so blatantly cringeworthy that it somehow transcends cringeworthiness and is actually good. I'm undecided as to whether BBC Sport's trail for the Masters is one of these rare occasions.

Re: Star Wars
The thing I found weirdest was that Adam and the website itself both typo'd "trailer" as "trail" - that's some jedi mind tricks up in that bitch.
Anyway, I presume it was influenced by this excellent effort:

Re: Star Wars
I'm sure it is. I wouldn't know though as "media cannot be played in your territory". Bloody republicans and their desire for independence. I think we should rejoin the empire so we can get the bbc player and 4OD. I mean the British empire by the way, not the one in Star Wars.

4od is available here. I'm not sure what the story is with the law and I know 4od was available and then blocked for a while, but it's been available again for ages. Miss out no longer sir.Mark James wrote:I think we should rejoin the empire so we can get the bbc player and 4OD.

Re: Star Wars
I would guess that 4od is more widely available since it's mostly advertising-funded, although syndicated programmes like Desperate Housewives are probably restricted.Andy Wilson wrote:4od is available here.

I have to say I am not a big Star Wars fan, but I voted for Episode I because it's the only one I've ever seen. It was alright. If it was rubbish, I wouldn't have voted for anything, though.

Sophie, don't ever give out your address over the internet: you're quite right that it would be extremely foolish. However, also feel free to not contribute to stuff you don't know about. Now ask your parents nicely to take you to Blockbusters for some educational Easter viewing and feel free to come back with an informed opinion.
I'm amazed only one's put Return of the Jedi - Empire Strikes Back was my favourite but on a forum of red-blooded males I was expecting someone to pipe up about Princess Leia in the gold bikini, if only for the Jennifer Aniston cover.

Re: Star Wars
Star wars is sooo over rated but the empire strikes back was not too bad it was quite dark for a kids film but it was directed well and harrison ford wasnt too hammy and mark hamill not too irritating.
If you want decent science fiction think Bladerunner, Inception, Solaris, Moon and Starman.
And dont get me started on 2001 That is to scifi wat James Joyce Ulysses is to literature everyone calls it a masterpiece but has anyone actually seen it/read it twice.
