  The Empire Strikes Back 1980

The scale is bigger, some scenes are still so crazy to watch and see when they did the behind the scenes. To be sat in a cinema in 1980 watching this, god what a time

  It’s been beaten to death by everyone but the special effects and look of this is so good for the time and still holds up great today.

  Didn’t realize as a kid the severe lack of lightsabers in this one

  I think it’s very the nose who the character of Mark Ruffalo is based…

  Here are some sporadic notes on the doc:

  - paid $4.99 (before tax) for jess and i’s date night in flick, but it was on the Amex so practically pays for itself 

  - did not know as much of the One Direction lore I thought I did, also did not know as much of the Jessica Russell lore I thought I did as she was a big directioner back in the day

  - this made me absolutely love Niall, his…
