STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 - THE PHANTOM MENACE

I went to the Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max, in Fairfield, CA, today, May 14th, 2024, to see this movie's 25th Anniversary Re-release during the $5.50 All Day Tuesday. I didn't pay for this because I was asked if I wanted to use my Movie Watcher Points. I bought a Big Tub of Popcorn ( the price has gone up to $5.40---$0.35 more than before ) to enjoy with the show. And I brought my own 20 oz/591 ml bottle of iced Aquafina Water. And I also brought a packet of Zero Sugar PK Energy Blue Raspberry to flavor my water with. Plus, I also brought a Ratio™ Keto Friendly Toasted Almond Crunchy Bar to compliment my popcorn lunch meal.

Auditorium 6, C-10

There were only 3 of us before 
this  movie  started  playing.
I don't know if there were
others who showed 
up  later  on.

Scene Commentaries:

You will notice that although I reserved seat C-10, I marked off seat J-2. This movie was the 1st movie ever shown at this Cineplex when it opened exactly 25 years ago! And it was PACKED with people! I was in Auditorium 12 which is one of the two auditoriums here that have the most seating capacities; Auditorium 11 being the other one, a mirror image of 12. I chose to sit in 12, J-2 ( these subsections ( J, K & L have 5 seats each in both auditoriums ). The 5 seats behind mine were then occupied by white highschool boys. The one directly behind me told me to move over because he wanted to put his feet up❗ That was back when, being employed in the service industry to provide good service, I just quietly complied and moved to J-3. But being that Fairfield is a city with a large military community since it is where Travis Air Force Base is located about 2 miles away, I hope that the Disrespectful, Rude, Racist Asshole PUNK joined the military 2 years later after 9/11 & was blown to smithereens in Iraq❗๐Ÿ™‚❗I CAN ONLY HOPE ❗๐Ÿ˜‰❗๐Ÿ˜❗

By the way, years later at this city's McDonald's Restaurant parking lot one evening before I went back to the Cineplex, 4 white highschool boys who were loitering around and pretend-acting that they were tough called me, "N!gger❗๐Ÿคฌ❗Either they were all colorblind or they just wanted to gang-up on someone because they have security in numbers❗ I wasn't in the habit of carrying a knife back then so I just let it slide. BUT I hoped that they got shipped off to Afghanistan sometime later and got their asses IEDed❗๐Ÿ˜‰❗๐Ÿ˜❗

I was hoping to just "popcorn" ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅค this movie when I Realized That I Started Movie Blogging In 2009, which is a decade after I first saw this movie❗๐Ÿ˜ฏ  So, I had to blog about this movie❗๐Ÿคจ❗ And I was amazed at what happens when I don't suspend my Subjective disbelief BUT put my Objective "thinking hat" on❗✍️ ❗๐Ÿง❗

-------

The spaceship going to the landing bay should have been shown with its Reverse Thrusters engaged. Because in Outer Space, an object in motion stays in constant motion unless it is acted upon someway or somehow!  ๐Ÿค“

The Humanoid Protocol Droid served "tea" to the apprentice 1st instead of the Master❗๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️

Qui-Gon Jinn tried to open the automatic doors using his Lightsaber to cut a hole through it❗ Obviously, in highschool, he didn't sign-up for Welding Shop❗๐Ÿ™„❗

They doved underwater in Lake Paonga to go to the Otoh Gunga City situated deeply in the lake! But they didn't seem affected by the gradually intensifying water pressure!! At the very least, their unprotected eardrums should have ruptured!!!

They got out of the water with dry clothes on! Either their clothes were waterproofed or they walked through a "clothes dryer" before being received by Boss Nass.  ๐Ÿ˜’

Why didn't the lake fish bleed when it was bit in half by the bigger fish?  ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

When Qui-Gon Jinn was walking on the street with Watto, I didn't see him cast a shadow. Why did I not notice Watto's shadow?  ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

Before the Podrace .... ๐Ÿ˜ด ๐Ÿ’ค ๐Ÿ˜ช

After the Podrace, I asked myself, Why didn't Anakin wear a mask?  ๐Ÿ˜ท 

So, in his formative years, Anakin developed an urge to have a mother substitute ....  ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

Why didn't the Naboo castle have security cameras to document the attack?  ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

"Fear is path to Dark Side." Holy guacamole! I didn't know that my Kriya Yoga Paramguruji is Yoda, himself❗๐Ÿ˜ณ❗

What in heck is a "Midi-chlorian"? It seems suspiciously like the Mitochondria! ๐Ÿง

Why did they have to take Anakin to the battle with them? Don't they have babysitters anywhere on Naboo? ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

When the doors opened, Darth Maul didn't have his lightsaber drawn out yet. Why didn't anyone of them shoot at the bad guy?  ๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️

When the 2 Jedis somersaulted over to where Dart Maul was at, why didn't he use his lightsaber then? ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

Oh, boy! Can you imagine me as a Sound Studio musician in the orchestra playing an instrument while the 2 against 1 lightsaber fight was going on without the conductor knowing that I'm EASILY Distracted?!?!?! ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜

Darth Maul could have easily cut Obi-Wan Kenobi in half when he jumped out of that hole ๐Ÿ•ณ️ because he was within reach of Darth Maul's lightsaber❗๐Ÿ˜•❗

Holy Sith, Batman!๐Ÿ˜ฒ!

If Queen Amidala were black and had "White Face" on, would Jar Jar Binks have said, "How rude❗ Me, Ma'am, don't like YOU, Ma'am"❗๐Ÿ˜ ❗?

25 years ago = Cheering, Laughing and Clapping❗

Now = ❗๐Ÿฆ—C๐Ÿฆ—R๐Ÿฆ—I๐Ÿฆ—C๐Ÿฆ—K๐Ÿฆ—E๐Ÿฆ—T๐Ÿฆ—S๐Ÿฆ—❗

And I Was The Only One To Stay For The ACOLYTE PREVIEW ❗❗❗

Tidbits:

I have the Amidala Pepsi Cola collector's items and the life-size cardboard cutout of her, too.

It's almost the same as this 
poster but with whole 
legs and boots!

I was today years old when I learned that the decoy Padmรฉ was played by Keira Knightly ( Sabรฉ )! I knew that she didn't look like Rose Byrne ( who played the role of Dormรฉ in 2002 ) at all❗

Life Imitates Art:

He must've thought that 
he was in a Podrace!

Yes, I relieved the experience from 25 years ago. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™‚  Unfortunately, the experience didn't make me age back to when I was 25 years younger!  ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘Ž
