Census The Census and Games Social Thread wishes you a spooky Valentine's Day!

When i first got star wars insider, my parents bought a subscription for me for christmas. I didn't get my first issue till like august. It was totally ridiculous.

 

The price of Insider here is $20. That's way too much for a magazine. I've bought 2 issues of it before.

Just got ROTS today $27.95 Borders had put it at a special price till Sunday. After that day, it goes back to normal price - $37.95.

 

Well, this thread has certainly turned into a "complain about LucasFilm moneymakers" session.

But to keep suit:

dash - I got mine for the same price, at JB Hi-Fi. They always have things the cheapest. And Insider, $20? That's a ripoff if ever I saw one. It's probably the reason I've never bought one . . . the most I'd pay for a magazine is $10, I guess.

 

Well it's $20 in Borders here anyway. I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Hey do you know the movie magazine called "Empire"?

 

Yes, I know Empire. I've never bought one, and as far as I can remember I've never read one either, but I've seen it in shops. Why?

 

Just wondering.. I buy it every month. It's pretty good IMO.

Do you buy any magazines?

 

No. I used to subscribe to some gaming magazines, and after that subscription was over I haven't really bought anything. If you count The Chaser as a magazine, then I used to get that before it went bust. But in reality I haven't bought a magazine for years. All my major interests and hobbies these days aren't really magazine related.

 

Ahh, okay.


Already getting too hot here.... for some reason I feel even more tired when it's hot.

 

Yeah, it was boiling yesterday. Today is quite nice though.

And in other news, I remembered that the quote for the name of this place is wrong. It originally was: "I sense something . . . A presence I have not felt since . . ." Oops.

 

Wouldn't it be: "I cense something ... a precence I have not felt since... "

okay that sounds worse... nevermind.

Yeah, the original one is better.

 

Well, that shows that all of us in here are really in tune with Star Wars....

With all the quotes from the movies, I reckon it's okay if we sometimes miss a few words! After all, the Star Wars movies would be the most quotable* films of all time, mesa think.



*That is a word! Haha, I had to check a dictionary for that!

 

In all fairness though, I haven't watched ANH in about three months now.

 

It's been ages since I watched any of the films. I'm too busy to watch anything these days . . .

But for the record, if I watched anything it would be ANH or Empire.

 

I am going to watch all of the movies on Saturday. My complete Star Wars marathon!

 

Yeah, I'm doing a marathon in about two weeks time. Me and a friend have organised it all! I wonder what the saga will be like all the way through . . .

 

Last SW movie I've seen was ROTS back in theatres on opening weekend. Before that would have to be when AOTC was still in theatres. Actually I take that back the day AOTC came out on dvd I watched it once.

 

Haha. I watched the OT before ROTS came out, and attempted to watch TPM and AOTC, but it was mostly fast-forwarded . . .

 

I think I'm also going to include Clone Wars vol. 1 after AOTC. Not too sure where I'm going to fit the new Wal-Mar DVD though

 

I watched TPM and the OT right before ROTS came out and was only able to get through 20 or so minutes of AOTC. I tried again when Fox aired it, but I still couldn't get through the first half hour.

 

I love this social thread. I feel at home among my fellow Australian citizens. Hopefully one day I will return to my place of origin.

 

Hey guys,I got called back for Crucible audtions we can only hope now...

 

Oh! That's a great play. Good luck!

 

Yeah, as I said in the Tavern, Drac, it's a fantastic play and I hope you get a part!

And yeah. . . I'm not sure I could make it through a sitting of AOTC ever again without the fast-forward button handy.

 

A couple of years ago, I discovered what good film TPM really is when I liberally applied the skip and mute buttons in harmonious tandem.

And good luck, Drac!

 

Has anyone seen the Phantom Edit?
