But I've already seen it on DVD.  :D

 

The G/F ordered it from Buy.com (where her sister is a sales manager) and she got it Saturday night when we got home, so in the DVD player it went.

 

Kick A$$!!!

I want to buy it bad, but I can't.  I MIGHT be getting it for Christmas I was told, so I can't get it.   :D   I may break down and get it anyway.   :rolleyes:

Am I the minority here???  I mean, I liked the original star wars trilogy, seen them all probably 10 times each at least, and I've seen episode one a couple of times, but I thought episode two was boring.  The first two hours was all plot and the guy who played anakin was one of the worst actors I've seen.

 

Just my $.02 though.  I did see it opening night w/ some friends and I was ready to zonk out in the theatre during the show.

pretty much jon lol

 

it really doesn't matter how boring the movie or any movie is that natalie portman is staring in,  #### I'd even sit down and watch the professional to see her in it.

I loved Episode II.  It had good action scenes, but it had plot too, and it began filling in alot of the gaps between Episode I and the originals.

 

As for Anakin, I was just glad they didn't cast Leonardo DiCRAPio, like they had talked about doing.  That would've ruined the whole Star Wars experience.

I was a Star Wars nut as a kid, I have pretty much all the toys in my basement.  :D

 

Anyway, I've said this before and I'll say this again, when we all watched the original Star Wars trilogy (Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi), we (well most of us anyway) were young.  We saw these movies through a different eye and world.  Now most of us are well into our twenties, thirties and up and it just isn't the same as we've grown and are seeing in a different light, through different eyes.  Do you follow what I mean?  Possibly why you also don't like this one is because it is very similar to Empire Strikes back in the sense that this is the bridging movie where in essence the bad guys win.

 

Otherwise the clone war and Jedi lightsaber fight at the end is phenomenal.  The only thing I'd have changed would have been to let Obi Wan slice off Jango Fett's head instead of Mace Windu because they had an earlier altercation.

If you want to talk about being the minority, how about this.  I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies, and don't ever plan on watching them.

That was a good movie. You can also see her in the movie "Heat". It's one of my favs.  :thumb:

I've seen them, but never liked them.  I always thought they were lame.

 

I havn't seen Ep. 2 and don't plan on it.

I loved Empire Strikes Back, so maybe that's why I liked Episode II.

Elwood,

 

I cannot find words to express how much I agree with you on this.

 

To me, it was worth the price of admission to see Yoda in a sabre fight!!! :thumb:

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
