Featured Film:
Star Wars Marathon at the Cinemark Lincoln Square and the Century Federal Way
In preparation for next Thursday’s premiere of The Force Awakens, a couple of local screens are playing the first six Star Wars films beginning at 3 am Wednesday night (or Thursday morning). They appear to be starting with The Phantom Menace, which would totally be the wrong way to watch them (other than chronological release order, the best way to marathon the films is IV-V-I-II-III-VI), except of course for the fact that the shows begin at 3 am. No sober or sane person has watched The Phantom Menace at 3am in 16 1/2 years, so they might as well throw that one on first. Wise viewers will simply sleep in and show up around the two-thirds point of Attack of the Clones. Anyway, we talked a lot about Star Wars (both the series and George Lucas in general and the 1977 film in particular) on this week’s episode of The George Sanders Show.
