this weekend/highlander babbling

thefangirl and drujan came over Saturday night for a little movie party. We watched this French movie with Roy Dupuis (Michael from La Femme Nikita) called J’en Suis. (The big draw for this movie is that he plays an apparently straight character pretending to be gay, so you get to see him in lots of ridiculous outfits--including a kilt. Oh yeah, and full

So I got curious what year that was, looked it up (1995), then calculated how old I was. I was twelve when "Finale" aired. Twelve

You were Twelve.

::blink:: I had been married seven years and had a two year old in 1995. Also, I was 32.

Hee! We were just about 12 when Star Wars came out, so at least we got to experience that first-hand, whereas our dear Laura was merely 23 chromosomes in an ovary and had to do the Star Wars obsession thing in retro...

Star Trek: The Next Generation

I was 10 when that started. I watched it because Levar "Reading Rainbow" Burton was on it.

Which seems weird in retrospect.

Heee. I remember that--I also knew him from "Reading Rainbow."

I hated TNG, though. My dad used to watch it, and I was terrified of it. I would cover my ears, close my eyes, and hum loudly whenever it was on. (I guess I was five or six at the time--I liked it when I got older.)

1993-5 was sort of a sweet spot for genre shows wasn't it? Highlander, TNG, DS9, B5, X-Files etc. There are probably others that I don't remember...

To me, Levar will always be Kunta Kinte. Which should give you an idea of my age!

And I'm dying of jealousy. The only SW movie I was even alive for was Return of the Jedi (I was one year old). I would've killed to have been able to see The Empire Strikes Back in the theater!

I was so obsessed with that one--It's my fave of all of them! Since it wasn't on tv or video then, I saw it as much as I could (we didn't have a local theatre), and I obsessively would run the dialogue over and over in my head. I even remember writing down as much of it as I could remember in a notebook.

My friend Troy and I argued for hours whether or not Vadar was really Luke's father--since there was really no way to know until "Return" came out. (He was the right one...)

I was 12 when SW came out. It was like nothing else.
And the queues to get into the pictures where like nothing else either - except Grease:)

Did you get the Kamikaze files? Only my ISP's being a complete bar steward and eating things recently, so I thought I'd check:)
