Star Wars Did NOT Suck - my trip there DID

8:45 movie at Regal 24 on I-85. I left at 7:10. Low on gas, passed the station but was thinking " the next exit is what, 3 miles down?"....well I made it to the exit ramp before my car ran out of gas. Walked to the BP, bought a $4 can and $2 in gas...walked back. filled up, turned the key... NOTHING. called AAA "we'll see you in about an hour" great :( Went back for more gas, tried it again...nothing. Tow Truck shows up, tried to start the car for about 15 minutes. Tows the car to BP, we fill the car WHILE IT'S ON THE TOW TRUCK..it starts!! OF course i've missed the movie by now. "That'll be $65 please" WHAT??? WE are not AAA, we stopped because you flashed your lights at us (no I did not - I was trying to start the car) Called AAA to arrange them getting me my $65 back, they are mad that the REAL driver got there for nothing (when did he get there? 3 minutes after we left. Had to pay the guys to get my keys back. Spent 15 minutes on hold at AAA customer no-service trying to find someone who could help. need to try on monday.

Now it's 9:30 and I want a drink or many, but as I approach the bar, I decide that I'm not up for conversation and being at a bar alone will bring you just that. So..... I drive up to Movies 400 on exit 14 and get a ticket for the 9:45 showing of REVENGE OF THE SITH.

The movie was excellent. Still not as character driven as the originals, but the dialog was less cheezy than I and II and the plot was very good. Seeing everything come together was incredibly satisfying. Thank you Lucas for not fucking this one up.

Patience, young Jedi
