More weird plot rumors involving the Inquisitors and a flashback.

DISCLAIMER: It's the Latino Review.

 That's what I meant by weird.  It humors me to see so many fake plot rumors going around, and odds are they are sourced from Lucasfilm to fool with everyone.

 We should make up some of our own, and see if we can get the big boys to fall for them. ;)

I don't believe that. How does a digital copy of a 2 year old movie get transferred to a hard drive, encoded, shipped, and decoded without anyone noticing that it's the wrong movie? The run times are different, the studios are different, and projectionists still test the copies to make sure they're not corrupted, so they would notice it's the wrong movie. Especially if they already made the mistake before.
Trained projectionists are as rare as Jedi knights these days. I don't know about the UK, but older family films are brought back as morning matinees in theaters here, especially in the summer.

Oh yeah, my local theater has those, its like free or something on Tuesdays. Maybe they did indeed play the wrong one once. But three times? You need a better labeling system.

 Or the snack bar guy projectionist needs to see a good oculist. ;)

If you got a Guardians movie with a bunny instead of a raccoon, this might be why. ;)

What Were Hayden Christensen's Best and Worst Performances (Besides AOTC and ROTS)

Best: Life as a House

Worst: Takers

Discuss.

 I saw a few minutes of the 2003 remake of The Italian Job the other day. Takers totally ripped off the drop the armored car into the subway tunnel scene.

It's hilarious I've spotted it and Awake in Blu Ray bargain bins recently. Hayden just follows me around now. ;)

I went out on Monday to buy a copy at Walmart, I couldn't find a single copy. Ended up buying it on iTunes.

 Keep in mind there are two versions. The two disc edition has the original score. (And different artwork.)  I've only seen that at Barnes and Noble.
