The Empire Strikes Back on Spike TV

The Empire Strikes Back is a good movie, possibly the best entry in the original Star Wars trilogy. But if you ever find yourself flipping through the channels and you see that The Empire Strikes Back is playing on Spike TV, just keep flipping past it. Even if you're a huge Star Wars geek, it's not worth watching. Normally Empire is only a little over two hours long, but once Spike breaks it up with commercials for UFC and Axe Body Spray, it runs over three hours. That means, in order to see a good movie, you have to sit through at least an hour of commercials. Horrible, horrible, mind numbingly awful commercials.

Ok, but that poster is fantastic. Reminded me of the 'Vader's New Girlfriend' bit here: here

My only hope is that somebody reviews Robocop 2 so that Irvin Kershner tag doesn't go to waste.

It's the 21st century, invest in a commercial zapping dvr. I've been blissfully commercial-free since my first DishNetwork dvr back in the stone age of nineteen hundred and ninety-eight.
