how about this: I have not seen Star Wars, full stop. It's on the to do list, after about a couple of dozen things such as catch up with all the Trek books.
^ If it weren't for a friend who wanted to see it for a second time, I wouldn't've seen Titanic either. OTOH, this is a Trek board, and to tell people that you're a major Trek fan but have not seen SW?
I felt the same way-- until I actually saw Fight Club. The advertisements made it seem like a generic testosterone injected beat-em-up movie, but in the end it wasn't that at all. It was a serious mind-f**k ala "The Game".
I've heard about the movie, and it sounds interesting, but I haven't got around to watching it yet. Not sure if I ever will or not.
I'm aware of the twist ending and all that. It is interesting, although it still wouldn't make me anything even remotely interested in watching it. I have never been in a fight in my life, nor would I ever want to, and I don't buy into that "get into a fight to prove you're alive" crap. Hey, f*ck you Tyler Durden, I don't have to prove a damn thing! Besides, I don't like needless destruction like the kinds of things that Project Mayhem did. I'm not an anarchist...
There is nothing wrong with not seeing the SW movies. But, I rather see any of the SW movies over Titanic again. Likewise. Yet. Hopefully sometime soon I shall. *Oh I am evil* Thankfully can't see my LJ. *Laughs* I have a huge list of films I haven't seen ... including ... Blade Runner and Sin City.
"We were somewhere around Alpha Barstow on the edge of the Taurus Reach when the Saurian brandy began to take hold..."
Hunter S. Thompson? By the way I haven't seen Fight Club either, because I thought the whole thing was just a bunch of guys beating the crap out of each other. But, now that I know there's more to it I'm a little more interested. I'm finally starting to see some of the modern classics like Shindler's List and English Patient, both of which I finally saw last year. And I have seen Titanic and all six Star Wars movies.
