well, today was the day that most of young white socially-inept male america has been waiting for for about a year.

a friend of mine went to the 12:01am showing, left the theater and got right back into line for the 3:01 showing. another friend left at 4:00pm for the 7:00pm show, and called me at 6:00 saying he was at the back of the line still.

i left at 9:00pm for the 11:00pm showing and surprisingly there was hardly a line. over the next hour, it grew remarkably. inside, the refills on drinks were free. and since i was parked in line for about 45 minutes in front of the consessions, i had about the equivalen of a 12 pack of pepsi, i think.

when we finally got inside, the people in front of me got into a fight over seats. the climax of the verbal battle went something like this:

"fuck you."
"fuck you."
"no fuck you."
"i'll kick your fucking ass."
"bitch."

and then they both mysteriously shut up and sat down.

anyway, the movie was great. the acting was sub-par considering the star-power. the effects more than make up for it though. and the voices of the droids are great. they're samplicious. i'll go see it again when i get to los alamos.
