Hello, J. and welcome to the Colony. I'm new, too (sort of - I'm new to this incarnation, though I'd been around a long time, years ago). Maybe we can figure it all out all this newfangledness together! :)

Hello, person B.; thank you for your warm welcome. Thank you also for your offer of help, which I accept with gratitude.

Hello, Chase. I will have to wait for three weeks before I see Episode Seven, but spoilers do not worry me. Are you a member of those strange Facebook Science Fiction groups? Completely addictive, if I allow it.

I had to resist the urge to buy tickets to the advanced screening last night. I didn't feel like being dead on my feet today so Sunday will be good enough. As far as groups on FB go, I'm probably not nearly as active on social media as I should be. :D

Lol I'll just be dead on my feet Monday. 10:30 pm showing was the first time I could find 2 tickets next to each other that weren't in the front row.

I bought Sunday morning tickets, but not at a theater where you select seats. I'm hoping Astrid is willing to show up early enough that we can get decent ones, but I'm not sure I care too terribly much. I just want in that theater as soon as possible! :D
 
Katina lived down the street from the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. She's always been wary of theaters, for that very reason, but after that it's very rarely that you'll get her into a theater. We went to see Zombieland and Paranormal Activity in 2009, and then Mockingjay Part 1 end of 2014.

I didn't even go to see Spectre in theaters. But I let her know that I will be going to see Episode VII, and if she cares to come as well I would be delighted.
Gotta pick your battles.

Bro...you really missed out. It was a great movie and if you like old school bond, it was even better.

Casino Royale is tied with The Fountain and Watchmen for my favorite movie of all time.

I liked Quantum of Solace nearly as much, and Skyfall was pretty darn good. I'm gonna see Spectre. Seeing it in the theater would have been nice. But I'm presuming one of the items on the Pearly Gates Entrance Exam will be "did you see a Stars Wars move in theaters?"

Seeing a Star Wars movie in theaters is something I have to do. And with The Force Awakens standing at a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes I'm almost required to go see it.

Since I made my hubby watch all six (he'd never seen them:eek:), I feel like it's expected of me. Not that I wouldn't want to go anyway lol.

Hello to the Litopia community. I have read Agent Pete's membership caveats and any person who mentions the ad hominem fallacy has my vote. I am a reasonably active member of one or two Facebook interest groups but they are indeed very large and from time to time the trolls appear. My interest was drawn to Litopia by the offer of a free seminar, and here I am, on the other side of the sign-up process. I am probably too late to be taken into the seminar, but that does not matter at all. Perhaps there will be other opportunities later. My interests are: (a) to complete my third science fiction novel and (b) to become more adroit in online marketing. I live in Western Australia and am a member of two local writers' groups. Thank you for admitting me as a member.

Not trying to be nosy, but what are your books about?

I saw the latest star wars film, very boring, and to be honest, not great production

Wow yeah they've really gone downhill, haven't they? That one was only like a minute and a half long...

That would be better. Probably don't need to pause very much to explain stuff either.

Man...Sunday can't come quickly enough.

A co-worker of mine is going to see it tonight...:eek::eek::D

That's crazy! I would, but it wouldn't fly with astrid. Instead, I'm going to sign a lease on a much larger place, then head home to finish up some edits. Really close to needing beta readers. :p

Nice! We're going to be doing the same, probably next week. Good luck with the edits, and hope to see a beta read in the Houses soon.

Finishing up edit #2 on my mystery novel pretty soon. My other work (the sci fi one) probably needs a lot more TLC to bring my two year old writing up to par with what I can produce now. I'm also excited to offer my services as a beta reader too! :D
