Showed the missus' nephew Star Wars for the first time yesterday
This was a genuinely fantastic experience, not least because he loved it and told me so most affectionately. I am now even more sure that I'm not having kids, as I can go through this with all the other nieces and nephews that are yet to be born without having to raise them.

But my collector's edition box set of the original trilogy has disappeared into thin fucking air.

Let me let you into a little secret:
A STORMTROOPER BUMPS HIS HEAD!!!!!!!

He missed that
So I rewound it and showed it to him. Several times. Until he laughed.

did he finally realise you weren't going to let it go until he reacted appropriately?
Good preparation for his future working with cunty bosses.

I didn't really
In fact I forgot about that bit until about nineteen minutes ago. I hadn't watched Star Wars in far too long until yesterday. I felt unclean.

My God! YOU'RE SO IN TO FILM!

I was trapped in a car with three very pleasant chaps when we went to Morcambe
after last weekend's wedding. Lovely chaps, but chaps who were really into 'film' - nay, 'cinema'. They discussed the Empire magazine 'app' at length - and then played a game where you had to name films starring certain people in turn. Incredibly, despite my encylopedic knowledge of 'film', I did not win.

I would really enjoy that game
for about five minutes. I think this is an acceptable level of being "into film"

You are wrong. It was rather bent.
I subtly pointed out the unfairness of the game by suggesting a round of 'garage punk bands 1964-6 from the Forth Worth, Texas area'. The point was made.

A fairer analogy would be if they'd been playing a game based on the films of Terrence Malick, as opposed to the whole of cinema ever
but I do see your point

Just always pick "the magnificent seven"
and if they quibble say, "no, not that version, the 1989 indie version set in Compton directed by Hadley Brisket".
