Looks like the kardashians are going to be a regular feature in our house. The youngest one is pleasant on the eyes to be fair.

If Aldo can do this in half the time it took McGregor to do it, it makes Aldo twice as good. Its simple maths.

But then if McGregor knocked Aldo out in twice that time, does that not make McGregor 1.5 times better than Aldo? :pac:

We'll be quite far south as far as Lapland goes (but still ludicrously far north as far as normality goes) so it will be hit and miss. They do get them there some times though so I'm pretty hopeful.

Didn't they see the northern lights in some parts of Scotland last year and maybe even the tip of norn iron too?

You could be very lucky. A friend of mine got great photos of them from the Sperrin mountains in Tyrone last year.

Apparently my knowledge of the northern lights is ropey so - we'll be further north than Reykjavik so hopefully we get a good look if they're about. Really want to see them.

Yeah they were visible from Donegal at some stage, I remember a mate who happened to be up there telling me.

I was off the plane about 10 mins and got soaked, then the bus was late. Ah Ireland, I've missed you.

X - factor and gypsy wedding. You're marrying the wrong women awec. I went out to walk the dog and she was watching the kardashians. Came home and it was Made in Chelsea. I'm leaving...

Now I've never watched either of those.

Are they as bad as they sound? Just the sight of that Kim Kardashian makes me feel unwell.

My prep for 7 has involved ensuring I do not watch any of the prequels. I don't want to consider the possibility that I'll be similarly disappointed by this. Original trilogy all the way. Could only get tickets for Friday so I might just go offline completely for the couple of days beforehand. I don't want this ruined at all.

Sat down with my 5 year old to watch "A New Hope" to see how he got on. Seemed interested enough but not mad about it either. I suspect the new movie will be too much for him, but if it gets a soft enough rating I'd love to bring him along.

Not sure about anyone else, I'm a star wars fanatic, read loads of books, can recite the original trilogy, played most of the games, have the t-shirts, mugs and action figures.

But I'm not that pushed about the new movie. I think the prequels were so bad that I'm still in a buyer beware state of mind.

irishbucsfan

Obviously the prequels were much but I think there's probably a bit of a hole in the "Space Opera" market that Star Wars can fill. There's not even and decent Sci Fi tv shows any more (although The Expanse does look promising after the first episode and I enjoyed those books).

Yeah the first episode was actually quite good, was surprised by it as I saw it was on scyfi channel and I understood they only produced dross.

I have a huge amount of faith in JJ Abrams after Star Trek. He took a franchise that I had no interest in and made it something I actually quite enjoyed (lens flares aside). I really rate him as a director. I thought Super 8 was spot on as well. And the trailers have looked really good without giving anything away at the same time which in itself should be applauded these days. How often do you see the entire plot and/or all the best bits in a trailer?

Never heard of that before now. Must give it a look.

Ha - I love Star Trek and whilst I enjoyed the first film as a movie, I didn't like the concept of changing the entire background of the show at all.

Thought the second film was dire. I think JJ was associated with Star Wars mid production and it looked like he switched focus and phoned it in with that one.

Personally I don't mind Abrams, I'm not sold on him like others. To put it into perspective, I think his best movie is Mission Impossible 3. I also detest Lindelof's writing and worry about him getting his hands on the Star Wars universe.

The one big positive is that I think Abrams can create a likeable albeit fairly generic opening to the new trilogy, and they have different talent locked in for the later two films that have a more specific style which I think nicely mirrors the shift from Lucas to Kershner to Marquand with the originals.

I wouldn't be a fan of Lindelof either. Is he due to be involved in Star Wars? He came out a while back to say he wouldn't really want to be.

Well he's been brought in to salvage projects that weren't working for audiences a few times. In fairness, this is a difficult job and perhaps has had a bit of an impact on his reputation. Whilst he isn't involved at the moment, if we see him brought in on any of the movies mid production we know we're in trouble.

Two films I was really excited to see - World War Z and Promethius both were re drafted (badly) by Lindelof.

The original script was better. He goes to Russia after Israel, there is no cure, massive battle in Russia, escapes through sewers as Moscow falls, makes his way across Europe into second film which is basically European Vacation, zombie apocalypse survival edition and then eventually tries to get back to his family.

And Mathew Fox being in it makes much more sense as he tries to basically take his wife and family and pretend that Brad Pitt's character is dead.

Anyway, they ran out of cash so crash landed in Wales instead.
