how did this happen?

i have yet to see the x-files movie. i am ashamed to admit it. the night it came out (thursday 12:01) i was seeing dark knight.
tonight at midnight, Clone Wars comes out. this is george lucas's chance for redemption in my book. and i have no plans to see it when the clock strikes 12.

nor do i have plans to see it tomorrow. i mean, i want to. i have debated which friends to call. high school friends that i saw the re-release of episodes 4-5-6 with. or my more 'grown up' friends. but being old and 'grown up' means sometimes not wanting to deal with opening night movie crowds.

i guess i need to see it tomorrow. the young version of me wouldn't be able to forgive myself for skipping out on such a momentous occasion. that younger version of myself is also shocked that i was clueless about this project when i saw the trailer. when did this happen? when did princess leia lose focus?!?
i guess i'd never hoped for another movie. i thought the chance long gone. i couldn't afford to keep buying the toys, and i own most of the original action figures. so i haven't kept up with the trends. the real world hit.
and then there was the whole episodes 1-2-3 thing. which was a disappointment in many ways.

but i have little time to post now, and this topic deserves much more detail. so i will write again later.
