You're misremembering, I'm afraid. It didn't get the title ANH until 1981, after Empire had already had its first theatrical run.

Depends on the theater and the movie, I reckon. Not to mention that with reserved seating at so many theaters these days, a lot harder to pull off without drawing attention to yourself. Plus, y'know, today it's illegal and wrong, as opposed to just part of the ticket price.

Also worth noting: the cost of a ticket got you into the theater and then you could stay as long as you wanted. Want to sit through the entire program three times? Knock yourself out.

Too bad Chicago is such a small town with only one decent law firm, otherwise Eli might have been able to find a lawyer who didn't work at the same firm as the wife of the guy the FBI wants him to testify against who he absolutely wants to make sure never finds out about any of this. If only Eli was a well-connected…

Huh. People are nostalgic about this crapfest? Oooooookay, then . . .

I had no idea about any of this. Thanks!

Not if you have a fancy player that plays both sides . . . as I still do!

The picture is analog but the audio is digital, hence the ability to have multiple audio tracks, one of the selling points for LDs.

I doubt it — around here all the local stations show reruns, paid advertising, or national network all-night news programming. PBS shows stuff specifically intended to be videotaped for classrooms.

I dunno. Seemed to me that whole scene went down in a few block radius and those masked robbers weren't exactly geniuses. I guess compared to you I'm just more willing to suspend my disbelief when I'm watching a television show about a masked comic book superhero. Sorry you had such an unenjoyable time.

Old Fashioned.

Even better, imho, was the "Star Spangled Banner" sign off. Can't remember the last time I saw one of those.

He really runs hot and cold for me and since I don't believe I've seen him in anything else, I can't decide if it's the actor or the dialogue he's being asked to recite. That said, I know these are TV shows but ultimately, it's still a comic book. I don't come for the mellifluous dialogue.

Yes!
He has no sense of humor near as I can tell, so he can't lose that, but I'd like to see him lose his sense of temperature, followed by his sense of hunger, then his sense of entitlement, and finally, his sense of when he needs to go to the bathroom (just imagine that fight scene!)

I think the "military precision" here is that he clearly has good intel, takes out his targets when they are cornered, unaware he's coming, and present him with no significant opposition, and . . . oh, wait . . . are we talking about the guy who casually strolled through a hospital unloading shotgun blasts…

I didn't realize there was a Disqus thought police. Thanks for the heads-up.

I don't really agree. There was nothing magic about DDs takedown of the robbers in the opening scene. Most of the action happened offscreen and it seemed to me the idea was simply that ordinary thugs don't stand a chance against Daredevil. When it came time for DD to fight someone who was actually his equal (or…

Not trying to be a dick, just genuinely curious why you felt it necessary to censor one terrible, awful racial slur but had no problem typing out the other one? Especially given that this was a quote from a movie made over 40 years ago, I'm unclear why you censored it at all.

Nonsense.
The '80s were already in full flower by 1983. There is no possible sense in which Culture Club, Duran Duran, Flashdance, "Total Eclipse Of The Heart", Wargames, Sally Ride, Whiz Kids, the computer mouse, and Swatch watches belong to the '70s, to rattle off just the first few things off the top of my head.

It's not my fault your analogy was shitty nor is it my fault you can't get past the need for "season closer" to be an important event rather than merely a temporal descriptor.
