Live Video Cam of Star Wars Lines

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the people-without-jobs dept.

Vince writes "PhantomCast.com, "The Official Webcast of the Star Wars Lines" has live video of the Westood line, some funny new parodies, and interviews with the people in line. It's almost as good as being there. " In the meantime we can all run around the net trying to find those prequel mp3s. Why must I wait until May 4 for CDNOW to ship me mine? I need a T1! Update: 05/01 04:59 by CT : if you want more SW fun, check out this weeks Dave Barry column (thanks Johnath)

    Man, I just hope this movie doesn't suck.

    No, I'm not going to kill myself trying to get in opening night -- I'll probably go to a matinee on Wednesday or something. Don't worry, it'll still be packed to the gills.

    All of these folks who are getting their expectation so far up, though, are in for a bit of a disappointment. I mean, it's still a movie. I've talked to people who seem to think that this will be the one that will result in a "Book of George" being added to the Bible or that Christ will time the second coming so he can get in line for opening night...

    That said, I gotta admit that the trailers produced a level of interest in me that I've never really felt for a film. More than just being willing to see it, I'm actually wanting to. The interest around the office is interesting, too; after I first played the trailer, a whole group people started coming by and asking if they could see it, including our general manager...

    I just hope it doesn't suck.

    Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.

    ARGH! It's too late for me, but save yourselves. There are spoilers at the end of the Dave Barry article (though suitably twisted).

    Don't geeks have higher incomes than teenyboppers or Minnesota house wives?

    Besides, I know geeks here who's goal is to make sure Phantom Menace beats every single box office record they have on record =)

    You'll prolly have longer than 20 minutes in line to just grab tickets, if you'll see it the next day... I'd imagine plenty of repeat performers, as well as a fresh load of geeks who weren't willing to wait *before* the movie is out, but very willing once it is being shown =)

    I thought that Dave Barry bit was pretty funny.

    How about a Dave Barry Slashbox?
