Star Wars Delight
It was a pleasant surprise to actually get the chance to watch the final installment of Star Wars.
I was delighted that I didn't have to line up to get the tickets ... being a replacement for someone who couldn't make wasn't that bad :-)
The timing was ok since today I had a friend as guest speaker and May Chin was kind to "release" me ... It was great to catch the trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (on the big screen). The potato chips before the show was good. We had good seats. I was a little tired. But the movie was fast paced enough to keep me engaged. There was a sense of completion .. or fulfilment ... in a way that now I could piece together all the 6 episodes with a kind of unity. When i drove home I thought of actually one day (or one week) just to watch it in sequence and see how it feels ... from Episode I to Episode VI rather than how we have followed the story thus far IV, V, VI and then I, II, III. Just a thought.

Posted by: Chin Hor at May 23, 2005 12:14 AMThe Chronicles of Narnia trailer is actually online and available for download, if you are interested and have a broadband connection. You probably need the QuickTime player though. If you are on Linux, MPlayer can play this directly.
Don't know if this is the same one you watched or if the Malaysian cinemas have a "special" version.
