No prize at all for the first person to say "I don't watch Dr Who, but am incapable of passing a poll about something I don't care about without leaving a snarky comment."

Oh - and it's called "Star Wars" - not "A New Hope". I was there in 1977. I saw it :->

Damn.

I was going to say at least I got to see the first Star Wars films *as a child* but apparently you were 5.

As a child, at least I had the joy of video players.

I was born in '82, but I still saw Star Wars (the first one) at the cinema when they were re-released. 'Twas most shiny.

There's a lot of potential but only with imagination! Luckily RTD will have nothing to do with him.

I wonder if the new 'season' this year will include references to Doc 11: his face on a picture, on a screen etc. Not necessarily Bad Wolf but shades of Logopolis...?

Old enough to remember the Caley and Ritz cinemas. I also saw Caligula at the flea pit porno cinema at Surgeons Hall, the Empire I think it was called and the Sex Pistols film at the Playhouse.

Saw Madness and Toyah perform at the proper Odeon too.

As far as Matt Smith goes, I'm somwhat in the middle between "We'll just have to wait and see" and "It'll be terrible." I probably do have to see him in the role, or at least acting in general, in order to be a fair judge, but going by what I saw of him in the Dr. Who Confidential interview, I am not impressed. :( And he needs a better haircut!

Granted, it was only the reissues of Star Wars and Empire and Jedi that I saw in theaters, more's the pity, but heigh ho! If those don't count at all, then it was Phantom Menace, may I be forgiven.

My parents were never really big in the cinema, and it was a huge effort to go see any film.

By the time I was old enough to go watch them, I didn't care. I don't recall where I watched Phantom, may've been cinea, but I doubt it. But it was so shite I didn't bother with the rest, despite having all the original and special edition VHSs.

Almost Tennant but he's 5 months older than me.

As for Star Wars, as I posted a few days ago, it was Leicester Square Odeon, 1977, first week it was out. Utterly glorious!

Oddly, Jo and I were just discussing how odd it would be to be young enough to watch Episodes I-VI in numerical order, having not seen them before.

Not so much 'I wouldn't see a Star Wars movie at the cinema. Because I have no soul', but have never seen a Star Wars movie at the cinema as I didn't get the chance/choice for the first three (would have loved to though), and refused for the second three. Which I think is understandable. ;)

I saw Attack Of The Clones at the cinema but it wasn't my fault, I was taken by friends who were trying to cheer me up. If they hadn't been paying i'd have walked out noisily before half way.

I remember reading the Alan Dean Foster novelisation on holiday in ireland in 77 but didnt see the film til it made it to telly in about 80 or 81. I wasn't and still am not impressed by any of the films. They lack any kind of internal logic, the supposed SFnal features are unfeasible and the inclusion of comedy aliens/droids is just an updating of the comedy negro (eg the maid in Gone With The Wind.)

What about the option of just not having seen Star Wars at the cinema, but not actively avoiding it?

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

I've not seen any of the Star Wars movies in the cinema. They came out at just the wrong time for me - I was 17/18, not really into that kind of movie at the time: instead, pubs, punk and girls seemed more important!

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

It is fascinating to see that whilst most of the poll is about Dr Who, most of the comments are about Star Wars!

[red-phil.livejournal.com]

Is there any particular logic to the Drs that you missed out from your list?

Wheres the "first Doctor you seriously thought of shagging" Poll? (hint - not Sylvester McCoy)
