1/27    Star Wars : Special Edition FIVE DAYS AND COUNTING
          Let's reclaim the #1 spot from crap like ID4, Jurassic Park and etc.
        \_ Jurassic Park wasn't bad.  Nice dino's, plot that almost followed
           the book, a few semi-decent actors, and a lawyer gets eaten by
           a big dino.  What more could you want?
           \_ Can you say "deus ex machina"? - android
           \_ A plot that almost follows the book.. Are you nuts??  Did you
              *read* the book?
         \_ Yes I read the book.  I read it long before they made
            a movie out of it.  It was a reasonable movie adaptation
            of the book.  Maybe you preferred Dune or 1984's versions
            of their respective movies?
            \_ I thought Dune was a much better adaptation..  It didn't
        fundamentally alter the ending of the book, or who died,
        who lived, who did what, etc..  And most of all, it
        *never* inserted the quote "This is a UNIX system!
               I know this!!"
              \_ And if you did, why would you consider following the book
          to be a good thing?  But anyway, dollar revenues are a
          terrible indicator of movie popularity; movies didn't cost
          $7.50 in 1977.
          \_ I wasn't talking about revenues.  I *liked*
             J.P..  I don't give a shit what the public
             thinks about it or how many tickets it sold.
          \_ nor were there as many theatres.
        \_ Where do you buy tickets ahead of time?
