I'm in at 6am Thursday morning. I realise that's ridiculous, but I regret nothing.

Early reports (from the premier) are looking good... in fact, they're raving about it!

Roll on Thursday!

Is it me? Harrison Ford, A guy I have loved in past movies, American Graffiti, Indiana Jones, Clear and Present Danger etc...

Always an Action Hero sort of guy, turns up at the premiere wearing a bloody ear ring and when interviewed has the charisma of a Peanut frown

This is part of their Job to promote the film and pay their wages, instead we get some totally dull comments where it seems they can't be bothered to notch it up a gear and excite people about the product their selling banghead

He always wears an ear ring, nowt wrong with it. As for his delivery, I too thought it was flat...but then the boring as fk carpet guy asked the most banal question in an uninspired way. Harrison is old, has nothing to prove for himself or the film, and has a wicked sense of humour, frankly I sided with Harrsion, any red carpet mike guy should have some zip, I'm tired of the same lameass questions in the same interview after interview, and have sympathy when the actors are bored stuff by dweebs. This fella got the question for (Beeb wasn't it?), and that's what he came up with? fking loser. biggrin

OK, So you agree his delivery was flat...this is my point, these guys are getting paid to promote the film!
People come up to me and ask me about my car, many of the questions are the same year after year but I'm enthusiastic about it and will go out of my way to enlighten them to all the plus points (and I'm not being paid)!

Yeah it was flat, and I was mildly surprised, but it is forgiveable/understandable considering the plank stood in front of him. Lazy reporting/interviewing is becoming too prevalent.

He has always been a bit like that. Dry and seemingly unenthusiastic. Just the way he is I think.

Been reading some threads put up today by people that got to see it already.

Lots of questions answered. Anyone want to know....?....

Sounds like they enjoyed the film.

Nowt wrong with a lonesome cinema trip, I do it quite a bit when I want to see a film that nobody else is interested in (or unwilling to go at midnight tomorrow). It's the least social of social activities anyway, once the lights go down it makes no difference anyway!

Yeah, I guess. There are wicked stories of his sense of humour, its just not for the Q&A format.

I've just realised that this time tomorrow I'll have 3 hours until the film starts. I may not have thought this through I'm tired tonight already hehe

Same in our house. I can't believe it can be worse than Luke cutting his own head off in Empire, or Darth Maul getting cut in half. Rancor, sarlack etc. I was six in 1977 and went to see Star Wars.

This is the BBFC reasoning...

VIOLENCE
There are frequent scenes of moderate violence, including use of blasters and lightsabers, and dogfights between spaceships. Sight of blood and injury detail is limited and brief.

THREAT
Occasional scenes of moderate threat include characters being interrogated using 'the Force', which it is implied causes them pain, and characters being held at lightsaber-point.

There is infrequent use of very mild bad language ('hell', 'damn').


....sounds just like any other Star Wars film.
For me the least kid friendly scene is where Luke returns to find his Uncle and aunts burned corpses! He's seen that ages ago!
