Am i the only foccer, probably in the UK, who hasn't actually seen one whole film of the Star Wars series?They've been on in the background before on tv, but i've hardly taken too much notice as they really don't do foc all for me, despite all the hype, even though i work in the film industry and prep equipment for them on a daily basis at the moment (can't say any more, sorry).When i was 7 years old when the first film came out i remember i was more interested in clipping shit loads of playing cards to the frame of my push bike that hit the wheel spokes to resemble the sound of a motorbike!See, all was not lost.
The first one was awesome in 1978 when I first seen it, like most kids I had some of the figures- wish I'd kept them in their boxes!Lets just say I've steadily took less interest in the star wars franchise as each movie has came out to the point now as a adult I don't get excited about kids movies any more. Same with the Harry potter ones to be honest. I'm more of a Ridley Scott fan. In the box office, Blade Runner was overshadowed by Return of the Jedi at the time, pity as Blade Runner is a far superior piece of cinematography.

Saw the new Bond film yesterday, i wasn't impressed at all, in fact i found it quite boring! In contrast, the poorly advertised Man From U.N.C.L.E. was way better, great background music, dry humour and they just about nailed the 60's era in every way, which looked fantastic in HD, definitely worth a watch.
