mmmmm, Angel. Reminds me of someone :)

Me too actually, and I bet it might be the same person, Heheh.:D
If you want to Rider take the take the pic and put it in the this is for you thread for her.

Anyway me and My friends have planned a big thing for tomorrow centering around seeing Avengers tomorrow. Well centering around trying to be the first in line tomorrow, which mean camping out in front of the ticket booth for hours. We even asked off of our perspective jobs to do it.
 
Cool, I'm actually annoyed I didn't find a nearby theater that did the whole day of Marvel thing, because I'd spend the day watching those movies again. I'll be seeing it at 12:30 tonight and have heard nothing but awesome things so far.

Me too, but I'm trying to not get swept away in the hype. The Phantom Menace taught me how great a letdown that could cause. Still all the reviews I've heard were overwhelmingly positive so I'm pretty optimistic about it.

Trying to not get swept up in the hype, and generally failing, I mean this is a movie I've wanted since I was 9 years old and first started reading comics. So staying objective about it is fairly difficult for me.

I understand the critical view of Phantom Menace, but I'll be darned if I don't enjoy that movie every time I watch it. Plenty of issues, like the kid as Anakin and flatter than normal writing for Lucas, but I can't seem to help but enjoy myself when I watch it.

I don't think there's any debate that Empire Strikes Back is the best of all six, but in terms of me just enjoying them, for all its flaws, Phantom Menace is probably number one or two depending on the day.

Really? For me its ESB for the original trilogy, and RotS for the prequels. For TPM I think it couldn't live up to the expectations placed on it by us...I don't think any film ever could under that weight really.

Of the second trilogy I think Revenge of the Sith is easily the best in terms of critical analysis. The acting is good, the writing doesn't suck as much as the others, and it finally got some of the intangible feel to it that the original trilogy had.

I think the thing with me for Phantom Menace was I wasn't a huge Star Wars fan, and to a degree I'm still not. With Phantom Menace I was able to just enjoy it without being overly critical. Watching the others, even the ones I enjoy, I can't seem to turn off the critical part of me. I can still enjoy them, but there's just a little part of my brain that doesn't quite shut off the way it does for other movies. I get the same thing with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Though I think I enjoy Last Crusade more, I can just sit back and watch Raiders.

I hear ya, I'm like that with some of the Bond films.
 
Agreed, everyone has some movies that, for whatever reason, they can just watch and enjoy. My personal favorite to watch whenever I just feel like watching a movie but can't decide what is Tremors
