"Star Wars" fans will have to find the right theater before they can leave for the dark side.

Seven weeks before its release, "Star Wars" fanatics started lining up outside Grauman's Chinese Theater for the sixth installment of the popular George Lucas movie series. The vigil began Saturday.

But there's a problem: "Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" won't be showing at the Hollywood landmark when the movie is released May 19. The studio, 20th Century Fox, opted instead to open the film a mile away at the ArcLight theater.

Still, the resolute "Star Wars" die-hards aren't moving on. Beneath a makeshift awning, 11 people refused to relinquish their spots in line.

"We've heard all this before," fan Sarah Sprague said, noting there were plenty of rumors in 1999 and 2002 that previous "Star Wars" movies weren't opening at the Chinese Theater. The rumors were false and the films were shown there.

Fox and the ArcLight haven't completed their "Star Wars" deal, but executives on both sides told Daily Variety "Revenge of the Sith" will play at the ArcLight, not the Chinese.

Yet Sprague was adamant the line wouldn't be moving to the ArcLight.

"This is still the epicenter for `Star Wars' fans. For the big iconic pictures of the 1970s, people lining up were here. They weren't at the Cinerama Dome (at the ArcLight)," Sprague said.

Lucas' final "Star Wars" chapter spells out the last dark steps the once goodhearted young Anakin Skywalker takes to become the villain Darth Vader.

Possibley the poster children for "Get a Life?"

I'm too old to stand in a line for more than a few hours. But, I sincerely hope that the film will still play at Grauman's. I can't imagine not seeing it there. Maybe a special engagement? I may call them and check.

Where the heck did the silly title for this thread come from? Sounds like a quote from a Will Ferrell movie.

I hope they choose not to open it at that theater, just to spite those fanatics. :devil:

It's a line from ANIMAL HOUSE. I also overheard a High School history teacher say it ;)

Animal House has got to be one of the best sources for movie quotes there is .
" don't stop him , he's on a roll ."

Didn't they also use the "Germans bombing Pearl Harbor" line in BSG... which made it even more anachronistic?

Now THAT makes me feel old!

My favorite Belushi line in that flick was "Seven years of college down the drain!"

D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000004/): Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001513/): Germans?
Boon (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0726200/): Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000004/): And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
[thinks hard]
Bluto (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000004/): the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
[runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000004/): What the f**k happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...
Otter (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001513/): Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000004/): We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0569226/): Let's do it.
Bluto (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000004/): LET'S DO IT!

Now THAT makes me feel old!

My favorite Belushi line in that flick was "Seven years of college down the drain!"

Bluto (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000004/): Christ. Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the f**king Peace Corps.

Not to mention the classic, "You guys mind if we dance with yo' dates?"

"Why noooo, not at all!"

"I think it was time we were -"
"LEAVING! What a good idea!"
ZIP!

And my most quoted line, especially when commuting...
"RAMMING SPEEEEEEEEEED!!!"

I sense a disturbance in their heads.

"you F**fed up. You trusted us."

Tickets went on sale here last Thursday. Picked mine up @ lunchtime, no queues and I got the seats I wanted. Handy having the cinema 5 minutes drive from work ;) No sleeping bags required.

So what are you talking about? I wasn't paying attention.

Didn't they also use the "Germans bombing Pearl Harbor" line in BSG... which made it even more anachronistic?

Dude, there comes a time when you gotta put the bong down and go outside for some fresh air.... ;)

No - he's correct. Check the BSG Patton thread.

Uh... No.

I'm not sorting thru all those pages looking for one line that can't possibly be right. That's stick out like a bleeding corpse guysering blood all over the characters as they walk by. There's no way anybody could miss it.

But, if you want to do so and provide me a link or give me an exact episode to go look at, I'd be more than happy to oblige. :)

Dude, there comes a time when you gotta put the bong down and go outside for some fresh air.... ;)

It's not a bong. It's those glue fumes... :lol:

José

Prolly not a good idea to rub the glue directly on your top lip area between the lip-proper and your nose.... ;)

Is that what I've been doing wrong? No wonder my models never stayed together for long. It's a good thing I come to this place, then, huh? :jest:

I've been checking the BSG episodes for the Pearl Harbor line. Unfortunately I don't remember the episode. I just remember the scene and thingking "That's an odd line".

José

Wait...what was the original topic? Oh yeah...a friend told me that she'd heard that these Star Wars "fans" standing in line at Grauman's Chinese Theater were paid to be there, and that it's all a publicity stunt to drum up more business for the film.
