Cinema Night

So, this past weekend SpikeTV was running a marathon of the Star Wars films. The originals, not the disgraceful pre-quels. I decided I'd invite my buddy Vinny* over to watch since he had never seen them before. It took a little while, but I think he got into them.

I was excited for Vinny to see the opening sequences because they are so iconic; the music really gets me jazzed to start watching.

OH! we gotta read fuckin' subtitles?!

Ok, misfired on the first one. But, I was sure he'd get into it. I mean it's Star Wars for crying out loud. Cowboys and Indians. In space. After I explain that there won't be any reading involved other than the first couple seconds,  we settle in for a good time.

Now, as you all know, the rebellion is...rebelling against the Empire, but they need help.

Oh!, She's gonna blow the garbage can guy?!
Obviously, I calmly explained to Vinny that Leia was not going to blow R2-D2, a droid, not a garbage can. Rather, she was providing him with data regarding the Empire's space station (Death Star would have been too much for him to handle at that point) and sending him on a mission to find...someone.

We later learn that R2 and C3PO (This fuckin' guy, what is he, the fuckin butlah?!) has been sent to find Obi-Wan Kenobi. Before finding Obi-Wan, of course, they find Luke Skywalker (Bro, I love this music, it's the Yankees' song!). Sigh. So, we hyperdrive past a few scenes and finally the decision has been made to help the Rebellion.

"Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a
more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

Snookies panties, right!? 
He almost broke my hand with his exuberant high-five.  Yet, I soldier on. As do our heroes. They meet Han Solo and Chewbacca (Looks like my fuckin Aunt, bro.) and begin their flight to Alderon. While on the flight, Obi Wan begins to teach young Luke the ways of The Force. Han, ever the skeptic, doesn't buy into all the hogwash and Luke gets a little salty at his failure to believe in The Force.

Fuck this guy! I got a brother on The Force and he's got to deal with all these fucking brothers all the time. 

 Oh! What'd I fuckin' tell ya?! These fuckin' guys! And, he's got the Red Sox music?! Fuck. This. Guy.
Vinny would calm down eventually after our heroes made their daring escape and eventually blow up the Death Star (That's some serious shit right there, bro.).

Little did he know, it was about to get real dark, real quick for our heroes. I'll see if I have the energy or desire to finish detailing the trilogy, but right here seems like a good place to stop for the time being.
