So you're still going to go to the late screening?

I'm cautiously optimistic about this latest one...was pretty disappointed with the previous 2.

I'm probably going to see it in a week or so when some of the huge crowds settle a bit. And of course will have to watch I and II prior, as I always do with sequels.

Will go in the AM most probably.Over here you get a better viewing with less than half attendance.If the place gets packed,youll get the caspers and hairy scarys annoying you with their stupid remarks and dumbass stupid loud conversations.
I wish I will be able to hear Darth Vaders original voice though.I missed it on I and II.James Earl Jones gives me shivers.

They're running a bunch of commercials with SW tie-ins (Burger King and the like) and some are really quite funny. One is a guy that scratches and wins $1 million and the doorbell rings. Darth is standing there and says 'Brandon, I am your father'. To which Brandon replies, 'No, you just want my money'. Then Darth replies 'err...Brandon, I am your uncle'. Hilarious.

And I know full well about the riff-raff you get when movies like this just come out. I prefer matinees any day.

I really haven't intensified my search yet. Will start next week full-on. I was exchanging PMs with JD earlier and he gave me some tips.

I work in IT, which seems troubling for employment due to the massive influx of people from India and Pakistan. However, I'm more on the customer/professional services side than the technical side. I also have a professional designation in Project Management, so I'm hoping that will set me apart from the rest of the riff-raff.

I need to start networking with IT people over there, but as yet have not made any contacts.

I'd like to get a package, preferably...I want to make at least as much money as I do in Canada PLUS the added benefit of no tax PLUS accommodation and car? Is that too much to ask?

At least I'm single...all I need is a 1-bedroom flat or even studio. Or might consider sharing. No family to consider.
