Film is forever.
In fact, it's so damn long that it gave me even more time to ponder just how many things are horribly wrong with this dog of a movie. I had to go to the movies because members of the swim team were forbidden to play tennis, baseall or perform any other strenuous activity on a Friday afternoon before a Saturday swim meet. Thus, Fridays were a big movie day for us, plus a friend who had somehow seen SW the night before told us that it wasn't to be missed. The novelization had been out for some time and major magazines had given the film some coverage. Frankly, I'm not even sure where to commence ripping.
