Question: Has anyone (else) NOT seen TPM yet? Just wondering... Not that there's something wrong with that, I just wondered. :)

I've only seen it once, so far. If you live out in the middle of nowhere, it kinda hard to get to a theatre... (ok, not *nowhere*, but the nearest theatre is like 1.5 hours away...) But I was impressed. Which is saying a lot for me, a reformed Treckie (*dodging virtual punches*). I wasn't actually Anti-Star Wars - I just never liked it much because it was... outdated, I guess. :)
But not so anymore. I really liked most of the effects (in TPM, by the way), and the fact that a lot of the actors/actresses were relatively unknown. I hate when they get big names for a crummy flik.
