    LOL geek excited... what is more of a sad geek excited is getting my subscription to Journal of the American Chemical Society renewed and seeing the trailer for the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and being so happy

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    I feel like such a slobbering fanboy when i watch these.....but yeah I too am fully anticipating dissappointment. I saw a new theatrical trailer the other day, too. It had a lot more scenes dealing with Anakin laying the smackdown on the Jedi Council.

    When Star Wars first came out, it was breathtaking, just freakin breathtaking. Nothing else had delivered like that for science fiction fans. It sucked us into what became a franchise.

    We want Lucas to give us, once again, that sense of wonder and awe and joy. Like Tom Wolfe said, you can't go home again - but we'll keep trying.

    Very eloquent, Jay Zeno. I am looking forward to this one because it will be tragic and not kiddy fluff (hopefully no Jar Jar.)

    I am with all of you on this. Definate Geek here, and I have been waiting for this in anticipation.

    I try not to jinx things with anticipation of dissapointment. It is like going out and thinking this is gonna be a shitty night. No matter how good it is, you think that it might be, so it is.
    Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.

    Sexually, we are all competing for the same seat on the bus and the thing that holds it together is the tightly held conceit that we are all sexual gods. How can I believe in my own uniqueness when there's a cat out there exactly the same as me?

    I am fully expecting to find this the POS that Attack of the Clones was. Perhaps then I will find some enjoyment in it.

    A brief history:

    Phantom Menace: I waited 2 hours before midnight to see this one with a friend. The minute the trade guildsmen started speaking in stereotypical Asian accents, I knew something was wrong. By the time I left the theater, I was disappointed.

    Attack of the Clones: I didn't wait for this one, but I saw it on the second night of opening. My big mistake was watching genius the night before - a pristine 70mm copy of 2001: A Space Odyssey. I'd seen that movie countless times, but the 70mm print just blew me away. Lucas didn't have a chance. But that movie was terrible and terribly boring. Hayden Christensen - my god. And the end of that movie ranks up there with the third Matrix movie as most exemplifying sound and fury, signifying nothing.

    Now, I saw the trailer before Sin City, and I'm afraid it's going to be the same all over again. The visuals were pretty, but then the dialogue starts and I just cringe. I'll go to see it, but it feels obligatory more than anything else.

    Considering how lame his recent work has been, I don't think it is unfounded.

    Actually, my motto is if you think the absolute worst, you are most likely to be surprised, and pleasantly so.

    Nice motto, I know.
