maxjam got a reaction from ariotofmyown in Star Wars
As a young boy Star Wars was the first movie my Dad took me to see at the cinema, before that (and youngun's won't realise this) all you had were 3 tv channels and maybe a couple of hours a day of kids tv at home, quite often in black and white only! Now-a-days you can get entertainment 24/7 whatever your age.
Coming out of the cinema having witnessed quite possibly the greatest thing I'd ever seen at that age I was hooked for life. I think a large problem with some of the later movies is that good sci-fi is common place these days and the core audience for Star Wars has always been the younger generation - we just got old and judge it through more cynical eyes.
I still enjoy Star Wars, even the lesser films. I've read countless books, watched all the animated series and to this day continue to play Star Wars Galaxies (an online MMO that officially shut down years ago!)
Call me a nerd if you want, but I'm a proud Star Wars nerd ?

With all the doom and gloom surrounding the newer movies hopefully the next movie (potentially another trilogy) will be significantly better;

Taika Waititi the guy behind Thor Ragnorak, arguably the best of the Marvel movies has agreed to write and direct it ?

maxjam reacted to Chester40 in Rate the last film you saw partie deux
Years ago there was nothing on at the cinema, so as a compromise myself and the missus went to see one of the Twilight films (possibly 2nd or 3rd having not seen the others). A female colleague loved them and had been banging on about how amazing they were...I wasn't convinced but thought it was probably a Robert Pattinson female thing so let's get some brownie points and how bad can it be anyway ?
An hour in omg I was dying inside but saying nothing, thinking I didnt want to spoil the night... The missus touched my arm and whispered....
'This is poo, shall we go'..
I think I have never loved her more.

Twilight movies - all of them were repeated on one of the Sky channels throughout the day yesterday.
Ranged from Connor Sammon/10 to Claude Davies/10
Was it just me or did anyone else root for Brian Clough, sorry Michael Sheen!

To all the Marvel fans in here (not me) that @David has accused of being childish, I present you with this:
I think this gives you permission to tell the scooter-riding, lockdown-breaking, Lego-Technic-building child to duck off.

WTF?!? Gimme my dog back!
This pic is about 18 months old now when he was still a puppy after we'd taken him for his first haircut. I'd post a more recent one but we never remember to take them and he's a month overdue a cut now due to the lockdown and starting to look very scruffy lol. He's pretty much identical to yours with the white paws, beard and eyebrows etc - and the white is more pronounced now-a-days compared to when the pic was taken.

That's pretty spooky!!! Ours is pretty scruffy at the moment too. Tried to trim him the other day with my beard trimmer ans despite removing what looked like a full wigs worth of hair, he looks exactly the same!!
Mini schnauzers rule!!!

Hehe good luck with that. Mine thinks its a game everytime we get the brush out, he's a bloody nightmare lol, yet they tell me he sits perfectly still and is very well behaved when he goes to be clipped. I might wait until he's asleep and quickly do a leg at a time ?
