The day I met my dad for the first time.
Just before I was born, me dad abandoned us to piss about working abroad. My mum had just died having me, and he couldn't handle the pressure so he basically left us to fend for ourselves.

Rather annoyingly I was left with my aunty and uncle who had this shithole pit of a place out in the sticks. Seriously, I would've picked the army if I had a choice but considering as I hadn't learned the skills of walking yet I didn't have many options. As I was in the middle of nowhere I only had very few friends, plus my "dad" was busy tending to his land all the time so I was pretty much left to my own devices.

Fast forward a few years and after some bizarre events and me eventually leaving the family behind I ended up getting a job with a security firm. They had a decent wage plus there was alot of travelling, plus as a hobby one of me work colleagues started teaching me some small magic tricks. Kinda still of hobby of mine, I might work on it more if I get the chance. This particular week though we had a job involving protecting some people who were being threatened with eviction. It was quite a public case with alot of press involved, so we were on best behavior for the cameras so to speak :)

While we were there though the evictors turned up in this massive people carrier and started getting heavy handed (even threatening to smash the place up), so we had to stand in. After alot of fighting, it ended up with me and 3 of these evictors losing their rag and attacking me from behind. Just as that was happening, one of me workmates piled in knocking the crap out of two of them and leaving the 3rd reeling. What I didn't realize at the time though, was this 3rd guy was actually my dad!

Then I blew up the Death Star and picked up my medals. Hell of a day in retrospect.

Got it from the first line
and it's an average film/terrible franchise anyway.

OK,
I'm just in an angry mood, they were very good.
The prequels made me want to be dead though.

agreed
the prequels are up there with the sequels for the Matrix; should never have been made.

too true
also, I watched the first Matrix film again not long ago. That is shit as well.

Yup.
Unfortunately true.
I recently watched the mask for a the first time in years and apart from a certain scene with Ms Diaz it was abominable.

Always the way with movies and TV
I remember watching Thundercats at uni and wanting to throw up it was so bad. It was not the awesome programme I remember from my childhood. Bad times.

Transformers : The Movie is still good though.
That is, the original animated movie, not the new movies. or the old cartoon series.

this is true
you will all be pleased to hear however that the He-Man and She-Ra movie is still awesome.
