Writer's Block: You Don't Know Me

People are always amazed when I say I don't like Star Wars. And I don't.

To me it's an overtly cliched rags-to-riches tale of small boy who grows up to defeat a mighty empire. Albeit with sci-fi trappings. But everyone knows the story yadda yadda yadda thanks to mass media culture.

I did go see the Special Edition at the cinema once in 1997, and kept wishing for the fast-forward button. It's so damn slow!

Carl took my brother and I to see the Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi...I can't remember which...whatever one was the second one. Anyway, I fell asleep in the theater because I was bored out of my skull. Carl wakes me up when it was over and said "You owe me $2 since you slept thru over half of the movie!"
