I know a lot of people my age LOVE Star Wars but really it was before our time. I wasn't watching that type of movie until 7 or 8 years old and that was 5 years after Return of the Jedi. The first whole Star Wars movie I saw was probably one of those Ewok movies and the only movies I've seen in the theater were Episode I and II. <BR/><BR/>So I'm not sentimental towards it, but I get it. If Lord of the Rings were on one channel and Willow was on the other I'd watch Willow for sentimental reasons. I mean seriously Warwick Davis vs. Elijah Wood? Saving a baby vs. destroying a ring? Lenny and Squiggy vs. Mikey from Goonies? Madmartigan vs. Aragorn? A sword that lights up or an acorn that turns you into stone? It's no contest. <BR/><BR/>I like Summer Glau's portrayal of a robot but in the first episode she acted like a regular human enough to fool John, all the students and another Terminator. Why doesn't she do that all the time? <BR/><BR/>I DO like Lena Headey in Sarah Connor Chronicles but I actually liked her even before that because I rent a lot of UK movies. Glau is definitely the best part but I was sold on Lena WAY before Brian Austin Green or Thomas Dekker. In fact, I'm still not sold on Thomas Dekker. I doubt a haircut is going to completely change him either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-45623422327941867402008-09-14T23:38:00.000-04:002008-09-14T23:38:00.000-04:00Amy, I'm with you.

I liked her in the part last season but in the premiere she seems to have really nailed the robotic movements. It's one of those things that's deceptively difficult, I think.<BR/><BR/>I could probably agree that <I>Firefly</I> is better acted and written than much of the Star Wars universe but yeah, there's something about things you loved when you were younger that stick with you. I also think Star Wars has an innocence to it that <I>Firefly</I> doesn't.<BR/><BR/><I>And yes, I agree, Heather.</I><BR/><BR/>Thank you!Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-52807773173217015162008-09-14T22:55:00.000-04:002008-09-14T22:55:00.000-04:00#77 -- Yeah, I'm with Heather on this one.

Summer Glau as Cameron was absolutely brilliant. (but then, she also kicked but in Firefly with the 3 shots, 3 kills with her eyes closed, not to mention in Serenity.)<BR/><BR/>#87 -- With the prequels then yeah, Firefly (including Serenity) has a way better story and continuity. But because I grew up with the original trilogy as well as the Bantam SW books I'm with Heather on this one.<BR/><BR/>#89 -- I used to watch it with my sister when she watched the re-runs on ABC Family. I saw through about the 4th season, then I went to college. A friend of mine was saying just last week that Gilmore girls is her guilty pleasure, as well as where she goes for suggestions whenever she wants to see a movie but can't decide.<BR/><BR/>#95 -- I can completely empathize. I grew a full beard in high school, and when I switched my senior year I found out that at least one teacher thought that I "was a sub walking through the halls."<BR/><BR/>#99 -- I grew up on Perry's Ice Cream, and I'm glad I can get it at Walmart 4 hours away from home. Last year I was able to get Top Shelf Sunday, but this year I couldn't find Breakaway Berrier.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I agree, Heather.TheSharpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797104769757754691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-24787486267373032342008-09-14T18:58:00.000-04:002008-09-14T18:58:00.000-04:00I don't like the way it looks capitalized thoughI ...<I>I don't like the way it looks capitalized though</I><BR/><BR/>I don't like the way the proper spelling of "website" looks.
