Ppshwwwwmmmm...vwum...vwumm...

On Monday May 16th, The Empire Leicester Sq will be showing, back to back, all six Star wars films - culminating in the premiere of Revenge of the Sith. Attended by not only George Lucas but also many cast members, this will be the first public showing of the film three days before the film goes on general release.

And I got a ticket

Ahem.
Gloating boast over.
Anyone want anything taking along to get signed?

you are the essence of pure evil. im having a lot of difficulty in getting excited for this knowing i didnt manage to get tickets for me and aran until the thursday. everyone will have seen it by then. is there even any point in dressing up when everything is haapening monday but not for the good of all? whats the point of anything?

[identity profile] davywavy.livejournal.com 2005-04-25 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
So why did you drop out of teh friday showing?

[identity profile] mooncadet.livejournal.com 2005-04-25 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
im going on thursday night 8pm i think. i totally forgot you guys were getting tickets and so when they went on sale i had a massive panic attack and beseeched santi to sort it out which he did. but now ... well ... i just dont feel the excitement like before.
saw ep1 in vancouver and it was just marvellous, the atmosphere and people and everything.
saw ep2 with ross and aran and had such a good day out. went with aran to see ep1 in canterbury and we took our lightsabers too.
so ep3. noone wants to dress up. those who do are apparently going to be on acid (not me or my bro or his friend). and noone is at all interested or excited.
plus there were these programs that were on sale that only got sold at the premiere or on the day of release. they were a tenner and i have ep1 and 2. now i dont know if i can get hold of the third one.
i've given up thinking that anyone might emote at all when all i generally meet is derision and pisstaking or sheer shock and disgust that i am a star wars fan.

im really sorry to diatribe, but i cant handle it anymore.

I'm missing Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill but I doubt they'll be there.

Hey, if you see George Lucas, ask him where he buys his shirts. ;o)

don't have a ticket but if you could yell "YOU BASTARD! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT FOR! WHY JAR-JAR BINKS, WHY?" at the memory-whoring git Lucus for me I would be most greatful.

Yeah, okay.
Make me a placard and I'll wave it until security remove me from the premises.

[identity profile] mooncadet.livejournal.com 2005-04-25 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
plus another placard just saying:

" MIDICHLORIANS ? "

[identity profile] raggedyman.livejournal.com 2005-04-25 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
okay...
so thats "Why Jar-Jar Binks? Why?", "Midichorians?", and "You Whore My Childhood Memories!".
How big do you want them?

Crap. I knew there was something I was going to do. Been busy all day and I'm guesing that they're going to be sold out by now. Oh well.

I got a ticket too!

Unfortunately, this one says "State of Indiana" on it, and it's to see a guy in a black robe, not Star Wars....

Congratulations to you, and commiserations to your butt....

[identity profile] davywavy.livejournal.com 2005-04-26 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there are far worse reasons that people could be sorrry for my arse, but we shan't go into them.
So what've you been up to? You asked me for a pint in November and then vanished?

[identity profile] arralethe.livejournal.com 2005-05-04 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not going to make any of the numerous remarks that sprung to mind upon reading the first sentence of your reply.

And I'll point out I did not, nor would I ever, ask you for a pint, as it definitely would be reminiscent of the line in HHGTTG: "...and the fastest way to get a drink out of a Vogon is to stick your fingers down his throat.." I did suggest meeting up for alcohol, though :)

The answer of course is I got woefully sidetracked by things both bright and shiny. I'm getting back on the case of my social life and therefore tender some time in early June as a potential date. Weekends are obviously easier from my point of view, although a Friday night is certainly manageable. Keep meaning to get to London 'ling too.... But early June....plausible?

Well, London ling is first saturday so we could do something around that?
