Come on, it's not that bad. Dragonheart opened here last Friday, and
Hayden was telling us to go see it back in July or August... You lot in
the UK are the ones who always get new movies a few months before the rest
of Europe...

I really do feel bad for you guys over in other countries... We (the USA)
really do get everything first, mostly because the stuff is made here, but
that's beside the point...

I'd go nuts if I knew Star Wars was out in another country and I wouldn't
be getting it here for 2 or 6 months... I would have to go visit one of
you guys on the list...:):):)

BTW... STAR WARS RULED!!!!! Just in case you missed my last post about it...

Anyone interested in a full discourse on all the cool new stuff in the
movie, feel free to mail me... I've seen it twice, and plan to see it
again this week...:)

Wrong.....
When Babylon 5 comes out, you start getting it before us.....

But by the end of season for the past 2 years, we overtook you and say the
last 5 episodes before you.....

Hopefully, it'll be the same again this year.....

The only thing that I can ask is don't spoil it for us (the reason is
that most ( not including my self ) put sports first )

its still not brilliant, still in need of the release date.

now that really does suck. It opened at the beginning of the Autumn
in Britian though i never did get round to seeing it.

And typically a few months behind the USA.

-----
on delayed things the latest rumour on Babalon 5 season 4 is spring
here, so anyones guess on the continent. Presumably the American
distributers got annoyed that we got the last 4 eppisodes first the
last 2 years as they insist on rerunning episodes in blocks of 4 (i
am told) before continuing.

Would I do a thing like that????

<Evil Grin>

Nahhh, I didn't spoil it for anyone last year, and I won't this year....

Unless someone shoots their mouth off about the episodes we haven't seen
yet.... (It doesn't start showing over here 'till april...)

That may have something to do with it, yeah :)

SW opened in Kenya (I think) before it did in the US. Any Kenyans on the
list? :)

Good. Everyone needs to go see these movies...:)

Ok... Time for a little selfish plug, since we're on the Star Wars topic...

I'm getting a Star Wars Mailing List started up..., Anyone interested in
it, please e-mail me...

<If, of course, you think you can handle that much more e-mail from me...:)>

Thanks...

I'd been waiting for it since about that time... And now the cinema seems
to think it's a sort of Free Willy with a dragon :/

> And typically a few months behind the USA.

That's the worst thing about movie programs on channels like MTV... you
get to see what movies are out in other parts of the world, and have to
wait ages for them to come to A Theater Near You :(

Just don't say anything that might spoil it for the rest of us -- I've
been having to watch re-runs of seasons 1 and 2 for the past year or so,
and I'm _hoping_ that season 3 will get shown next...

oh great! We have been on rerun 'best of season 1' as Season 3
finished about August. No i won't give anything away, same as the
folks that have seen some season 4 are under sentance of death for
more than about 1 word on the subject. At least Sky haven't got in on
the act yet, that happened to Star trek and all of a sudden we were
years not months behind the USA.
