Closest I've come is spaceballs Spaceballs was way better. (Mel Brooks is a true national treasure that would not be allowed to make at least 1/2 of his movies today.) But still; blowing off all 9 movies is waaaaaay harder than just blowing off ET or the Goonies. (Didn't watch Raiders until about 10 years after it came out either; but did eventually watch it, and it was pretty decent.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one I watched was The Empire Strikes Back, and that was at a drive-in (i.e., not first run) and I wasn't even that interested in the movie (if you know what I mean). I didn't watch A New Hope in its first run because I saw it as a "kiddie movie" (probably owing to the marketing of Star Wars merch during Saturday morning cartoons). At 14 years old when it came out, I was "too old" for that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each of the Star Wars movies has a subtitle. The first film, commonly known as Star Wars, is "Episode 4: A New Hope" The whole concept was a trilogy of trilogies, nine films altogether, and they jumped in at Episode 4. Episodes 1-3 are the prequels with Young Annakin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, comes down to: did the scroll at the beginning say "Episode IV: A New Hope" in the original run? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even when they were putting those movies out as a video tape boxed set, that movie was called "Star Wars." The only place that "Episode IV: A New Hope appeared was at the beginning of the crawl after both "A long time ago in a galaxy far way" followed by "STAR WARS" had gone away. Neither was a part of the crawl. And as you are well aware, the other 2 in that trilogy were simply called "The Empire Strikes Back" and "the Return of the Jedi." Their logos had VERY small outlines of the words Star Wars around the boldly proclaimed main title. But nobody called them Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back or Star Wars - The Return of the Jedi. They were simply the Empire Strikes Back and the Return of the Jedi. Edited June 4 by Taro T Clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 (edited) Landed in Houston today. Too many people, too much traffic, and terrible weather. It is 92 F with a Dew point of 78, so it feels like 102 F - on June 4th. Yuck! Edited June 8 by Pimlach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat index being over 110F this time of year isn't unusual. And come July and August 95F w/ 95% humidity is fairly standard. Which puts the heat index up over 118. (But Buffalo's weather sucks. Yeah, right.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoner Posted June 10 Author Report Share Posted June 10 (edited) If summer never came would people go mad? Because I can kind of feel it in the air, literally. Depression is setting in already.

SwampD Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 I am not a fan of summer. It can take as long as it wants before showing up. If it doesn't show up at all and we go right into fall, I'm fine with that, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
