star wars

Ok. I caved and saw it this weekend. Ann & I were downtown after Ann’s 10K race, took care of some wedding stuff, then said what the hell and saw a matinee. I’m glad I did, but not for the obvious reasons. Let me explain. (These reasons might come out disjointed, so bear with me) It is not like the Star Wars movies have been great works of art or cinema....

I didn’t have high hopes going in. I had seen the trailers.. I had caught a few of the reviews on Friday… But I wanted to like the movie! I went in thinking, “It might not be great, but its still Hitchhiker’s Guide”. I don’t do that with many movies. Unfortunately it wasn’t worth the price of admission. Frankly, save the money and go out and buy the books if you haven’t read them....
