I pre-ordered The Phantom Menace a while back and can't wait to receive it. When I lived in NY about 2 yrs ago, my friend worked for our local radio station and we got to see TPM before the public had a chance to. We loved it. I laughed later on that day, hearin the news, naturally like all the other times when Lucas releases films, lines were formed around theaters everywhere. Boy I was lucky.

I know Lucas won't put SW IV,V, and VI on DVD till after all films are released but I am in luck in a way. I own each one on VCD which can be played in my DVD player. It doesn't have extra features or isn't in widescreen but is well worth having until then.

I can't wait till Episode Two comes out in 2002. I am really looking forward to it. I will be the first one on line. As someone who works in a major movie theater chain, I get to see movies for free therefore I can get tickets with no worries.

Hey, be nice. Let people brag, or share their experiences. You might have been joking, but I can't tell. Play nice.

What could possibly go wrong?

It's scary how old these movies are now!

I think that's what the announcer in Westworld (1973) said.

There's a blink and you'll miss it easter egg in the Westworld TV show where in one of the scenes showing stored androids we see a rather blurry pan across a very distinctive figure of the*Yul Brynner coyboy in black from the original Westworld.

Did you know that in the 1980s movie PREDATOR the titular character was not originally portrayed by Kevin Peter Hall. It was in fact Jean-Claude Van Damme donning a much more insect inspired full body suit before he left the production which then led to the recasting and redesigning of the famous hunter.
