How much are movie tickets across the pond Hattie?

Cost me £9.

I went with some nerd friends who are all Star Wars nuts. I watched the original film (IV) on my 17th birthday and can’t even remember whether I watched any others (I don’t think so, but I do have a strong recollection of the final-ish scene) so I’m not invested in the series and I no doubt missed lots of details.

I enjoyed the action and I thought the plot was good, the villains were great - a strong point I remember from the first film. The setting was a bit choppy at the start but the final fight was brilliant. Kind of disappointed with the character development though - there wasn’t much, at least not as much or a subtle as there might have been, so I wasn’t overwhelmed with sorrow when people died.

I still enjoy this movie. Then again, I enjoy most slightly older, modern, war movies, like Enemy at the Gates.

Dude, Gene Hackman. Loved him in “Behind Enemy Lines” and “Crimson Tide”.

Nice little review there Hattie. :acmsmile:

I have a third date on Saturday to see this movie… looks like fun.

You’re using your third date on a star wars movie? Should’ve been some home cooking and candles :wink:

I double love submarine movies, so Crimson Tide is another favorite.

Me, not so much sub movies as the conflict. And the dinner discussion over the one true enemy…

Seriously though, I hear about that “third date” thing all the time, and I can’t believe that’s actually a thing. Is that real? For me, it’s ranged from the first date to a little over a month, but I’ve never actually met anyone who worked on a “date number 3” timetable.

Some people may have decided to make it real, but it’s nonsense. Relationships are organic. Every one is different, and will evolve at its own time and pace by mutual consent. Trying to force a relationship with some arbitrary timetable is a good way of ruining it.

I agree, my best relationships have been the ones with minimal use of pesticides

An old friend of mine once said that he preferred his wife without “any artificial colouring, flavouring, or preservative”. They were a fantastic couple!

That, and no room for bots. If you’re asking what the robut would do, you’re miles down the wrong path.
