I vote seeing the original second, just on the principle that the original is always better, AND I think the re-make is going to be pretty darn good, so I wouldn't want to be sitting there comparing it unfavorably. You know what I'm saying?
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Heh. Pronouns were scarier back then.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I selfishly vote no, because I really want to hear the reaction of someone seeing the story for the first time, set in the modern era.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
"Revenge of the Sith."
Which, if you have a lisp, could be taken as being about Leia finally smacking Luke around, but good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, it's not as bad as Send in the Clones.
Damn, I wish I had gone to Comic-Con. Then I could have asked this woman out.

If I only had a brain...
Bring your can-opener.
Saw Bourne Supremacy. Want a 50-year ban on all use of hand-held cameras in non-documentary movies.

I didn't say it was a truism, just a principle.

Art Crawl!!!
Have a high percentage of buffistas gone to ComicCon? Because there seem to be quite a few absences.

So Star Wars I, II and III all make mention of the Sith as the keepers of the Dark Side, or whatever. But no mention whatsoever of the Sith in the original trilogy. Considering how Lucas is always "fixing" the original trilogy, I bet he will redo Episode IV: A New Hope. Right after Vader kills Kenobe, Jar Jar will step out of the shadows and say, "Mesa say you bad Sith motherfucker!"
