    I have only seen It 3 times so far, unfortunately, but now that we have it on dvd, i plan on watching it quite a few more times.. whoo hoo. in the privacy of my own home... ha ha. wheeew.

    Right on Jess. I agree 100%. Life is too short to be miserable all the time. Shoot, its short enough even when you have fun, but at least you will go out in a good light.:D

    propgeek? Wise words of wisdom? Okaaaay...

    "Mawwiage. That dweam within a dweam..." [face_laugh] NI!

    Well, I'm not assuming that there are necessarily religious reasons for disdaining Star Wars or movies in general. I think the relevant issue here is respecting our parents, even after we're officially adults. I'm 42 years old and still try to honor my parents every opportunity I get. That never changes. Fortunately my parents do not condition their acceptance of me upon my absolute and total submission to them... well at least not any more. lol. Until I know any different, I will assume that people have what they believe are legitimate reasons for the kinds of restrictions they impose upon themselves and their offspring. I highly affirm Jason for respecting the convictions of his parents/current landlords. He obviously doesn't entirely agree with it, but he respects it, and for that I respect Jason.

    But what Jess was saying-- that repressing our need for fun and recreation is tremendously unhealthy-- I quadruply reaffirm that! Also, allowing the expectations of others to rule my life. Not good! A lot of those stern religious people I used to let run my life, well, they just remind me of the Knights who say, "Ni." "We demand, we demand, we demand, and we'll alter the deal and make more demands, and you should pray that we don't alter it any further." All that ascetic religiosity ever did for me was to escalate my alcoholism. I lost a career, my mawwiage is in crisis, my faith is shaken, and I'm in a tough spot. But this trooping thing is helping me to loosen up, have some good clean (for the most part)fun, and make up for lost time. Second adolescence? You betcha, baby! Only I'm enjoying this one and hopefully growing up this time around. Though I hope that growing up doesn't mean leaving this all behind. That would break my heart! I hope I'm still making blasters and lightsabers when I'm in my seventies.

    There.

    Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

    I know I should cut back on this crazy amount of posting I do, but what the heck...

    Had to watch that portion of the movie again cause for some reason, I keep referring to it as Nigh, instead of Ni... I am a space case, I swear. Just thought that by telling all of that, you all would get a good laugh. Like I was the "Nu" guy... :-B

    "NI" (Nee)-ha ha

    Bedevere stands on a stage in front of a large crowd of wild villagers.

    Villager: We have found a witch, may we burn her?
    Crowd: BURN!! BUUUURN HER!
    Bedevere: But how do you *know* she is a witch?
    Villager: She looks like one!
    Other Villagers: Yeah! She looks like one!!!
    Bedevere: Bring her forward.

    (a young woman is pushed through the crowd of villagers to the platform. She
    is dressed all in black, has a carrot tied around her face on top of her nose,
    and a black paper hat on her head. She talks funny because her nose is
    closed by the carrot.)

    When I started posting on this thread, I had no idea what "Ni" even meant. I've seen bits and pieces of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but never actually sat through the whole thing just to watch it. So anyway, part of my pathetic deprived life. What a riot! It's no wonder it's like the 3rd most quoted movie ever produced. I'd love to hear some of the original writers exposit what they were thinking with each of the chapters. That would be priceless!

    Ni!
