Harry Knowles' review of Revenge of the Sith
by Atomic Cow
Back when I was a rambunctious teen going to see Star Wars for the first time, I didn't mind waiting in line and watching the fire eaters and other Hollywood Blvd lunatics. We could just feel we were going to see something special even though it was cold and we were standing there for two hours. So earlier in the morning I got up and poured myself two big bowls of Quisp cereal...not Quake...I never liked Quake. (Quisp was fun and Quake was too stuffy.) and considered my strategy for hooking up with Larry and Sandy that evening. Sandy didn't want to go but he had the car and there was no way we were taking the bus. Larry read the book ahead of time which is something I never do. But he was the most hyped for it. On the way we were running low on gas and we hit the station. I went inside and grabbed myself a Zagnut bar and some Pringles. The Zagnut had a white wrapper with vermillion lettering surrounded by blue outline. Not the most attractive of the candybars, but Zagnut has the advantage of being chewy and long lasting. The peanuts provide protein and the carmel is particularly vigorous so its perfect for standing in long movie lines. The biggest drawback of the Zagnut is of course...no chocolate coating. This Zagnut also lost points with me for not having an obvious place to tear to open. Tonight my first successful pull only got a corner open and not enough to slide the bar out of its cellophane haven. I did manage to free its peanutty goodness from the wrapper but not without some fighting and unsightly tearing. All in all though I got about 20 minutes of good chew out of that one bar and combined with the tube of Pringles, I felt satisfied enough to endure the long stand in line for the show and still felt full energy when I made it to the concession stand. I recommend both the Zagnut and Star Wars. A good combo. May the fudge be with you.
