Against my better judgement I’ve let Aaron coerce me into going to a midnight showing of the new STAR WARS movie, which apparently involves someone named Darth something and some Revenge…haven’t heard much about it.

(I guess this is a movie franchise that’s been around a while? Don’t know how I’ve missed it…I’ll go, but it’s not gonna be Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, I can tell you that right now.)

Not that I mind seeing a Sci-fi movie, I’m just expected to be up at 7am, so, you know, lack of sleep, blah blah blah…

Hang on…Oh, my phone just rang…apparently Star Wars has been around since like the ’70’s…huh…why do people keep CALLING me about stuff I put here instead of posting themselves? And how the hell did he know what I was writing? Weird…

Anyway, not that I mind seeing a late night movie. In fact, this takes me back to college. Gerald, college roommate and still good friend, was the projection booth manager at the local Showcase cinemas. We previewed just about every movie that came out for a couple of years for free. Plus, we’d eat all the popcorn we wanted. Problem was most of the time to do it we’d have to do it after midnight, so a bunch of us spent a LOT of late late nights watching movies…some very good, some very bad. (Anyone remember “Folks” starring Tom Selleck? No? There’s a very, very, very good reason you don’t. Talk about 2 hours of your life you’ll regret wasting on your deathbed…)

Hang on…phone again…huh…apparently some folks consider this “Star Wars” thing was almost as good as one of MY personal favorites, Star Trek. Only 6 movies, though, huh? Interesting. Star Trek had 10 movies and 5 television shows. Well, maybe if they keep working these “Star Wars” folks’ll come up with something…
