A friend of mine had the blue snaggletooth, and every time we played Star Wars he'd make fun of my red one.<BR/><BR/>Sad to say, I sold every single one of my toys at garage sales...most for under $1 a piece. Except for Han Solo in his Hoth outfit. Him I lost in a snowbank one winter, only to find him eight years later when mowing the lawn. Don't remember what happened to him after that.P.

Fortunately, I was able to have similar movie experiences for all three re-releases including a near riot when the film broke during the first few minutes of Empire. Let's just pretend Ep. 1-3 never happened. 3 isn't completely horrible, but I won't go out of my way to watch it. <BR/><BR/>I still have every single Star Wars toy I've ever owned too. That includes about 70 figures and lots of vehicles and accessories. I even have the rare "Blue Snaggletooth" figure.Patrick B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09080082715363887351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21840177.post-38475423726773402192007-05-29T05:49:00.000-08:002007-05-29T05:49:00.000-08:00HA!

I do remember the STAR WARS movie @ Southtown...& Chris you were there too...just WAY too litte to remember! I remember really liking R2D2 & C3PO. And of coures Princess Leah & her lovely DOO!! I remember Dad watching STAR TREK on TV EVERY chance he got better though!! My first memories of Star Trek & Dad were @ the Young America house...We had a crazy leather couch down in the TV room. It was tan on the back with a covered wagon stitched into it & dark brown leather on the seat part. P&C you weren't born yet of course. That is also the living room that RICK & STEVE ate (Mounty the HUGE German Shepard's) dog food & biscuts when they got hungry & Mom said NO snacks right now. I'm sure we ALL remember Dad watching WHEEL of FOURTUNE & eating his M&M peanuts & Coke from a bowl on his T.V. tray!! And of course sharing them with Gypsie!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21840177.post-70357604297134592472007-05-28T10:10:00.000-08:002007-05-28T10:10:00.000-08:00Cause he got the bald gene instead.

I also remember ...I remember that huge line for ET. I also remember the line for Return of the Jedi being equally as impressive. You know, I think the only movies I ever remember going to the theater with Dad were all sci-fi. Mostly Star Trek, but also a couple of the Alien films. I wonder why Rick didn't end up getting the Geek gene, too?P.

I was prob...Afraid to say I don't recall this day. I was probably at the sitters. I do though have a similar memory...It was at a far less spectacular theater in a much smaller town. We went to see the opening of ET in Alexandria. Most likely not the FIRST movie I ever saw but the first one I remember. I remember the line wrapping around the block, dad buying the tickets and seeing the fantastic display of candy right inside the door.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I also have a memory of the first time I realized we had a Sci-Fi geek for a dad. He took me to see 2001...or was it 2010?? Either way, I don't remember if it was him or I but I know one of us fell asleep...we probably both did.<BR/>(i just checked and since 2001 was released in the 60's I guess it musta been 2010)kippurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302124720508729115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21840177.post-38908735551307928302007-05-27T15:31:00.000-08:002007-05-27T15:31:00.000-08:00i remember that day at the southtown theater as we...i remember that day at the southtown theater as well ( http://cinematreasures.org/theater/3003/ ). even though the monster screen had already beem replaced so they could split it into 2 screens. it was still one of the best places in town to see one of my favorite movies of all time. I think that was one of the few times my freinds were jealous that I had a sci fi geek for a Dad.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662326482942816224noreply@blogger.com
