Holy crap, Peter Cushing is in this too? Freakin’ Grand Moff Tarkin?! And John Rhys Davies as well?
How have I not seen this already?

You can always try Youtube and then they’ll have that weird sounding stuff, flipped pictured or some horrid quality so it won’t get deleted lol!

I dunno, we’re talking about a film from 1984, and a campy one at that. Can’t hurt to try, though.

Is it on Youtube with crappy quality? xD
Nah. Had to look in other places. It seems that it can either be bought where I live or streamed from the UK. I’m not gonna do either of those things, so I took what you might call the online equivalent of a detour.
Okay, well, the quality still isn’t great on it. But it’s a movie from the 80’s, so they probably didn’t take great care of the original film and audio track hard copies, and/or this video was ripped from a VHS tape.

I really can’t wait to watch this. Gonna be fun. Wish I had popcorn. I’m kind of expecting a slightly campier Conan the Barbarian-type story, but with the most saccharine sort of British spin on it.

I don’t know if that’s possible. Watching Connery gallivant about on screen in a glittery green wig is basically peak attention-grabbing.

“For the time it was made, it’s actually very good.”
I believe it, but that was still before my time. 
Sadly, no popcorn in the house. Not happy about this development. Considering putting off viewing until I have popcorn. This movie demands popcorn.

“May I ask how old you are? I just turned 63 in November.”

I’m not sure I want to say. Steps into PII territory, and these forums are trawled by Google. Can I just say I was born in the latter half of the eighties? That’s about as specific I as want to be.

“That works. And I wish to add, that us in this Lounge don’t judge people, so you wouldn’t have to worry about that in here.”

Being judged is honestly last in what is at present a very short list of concerns. When I’ve come down, the list will get longer, but it’ll still be toward the bottom of it.
I kinda was put in a position growing up that I had to make the call early whether to loathe myself or just decide that my opinion of me was the only one that mattered, and I went with the latter. It has mostly kept me going well enough, but it does make it difficult to relate to people who under normal circumstances would be close relations.
Also, Larry the Cable Guy has totally adorable cows now.

“What I was pointing at was, we don’t care what age you are, we will like you for who you are, as that is whats really important.”
“I just asked out of pure curiosity.”

Right, I got that. I was just trying to explain that I’m not embarrassed about my age and I’m not so wacky as to suspect your motives for asking. I really do just not want personally identifiable information about me floating around online that can connect to me specifically, at least where I can avoid it. You can think of it as a kind of mild paranoia brought on by PTSD if you want. I’m fine with that.
