There are movies that almost everyone has seen, like The Godfather, The Wizard of Oz, Forrest Gump, Home Alone, Titanic, and Star Wars, to name a few.
However, Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush revealed on Today that they have never seen one of those films. Can you guess which one? It is Star Wars. And they have no interest in seeing the film that inspired so many Gen Xers to go into filmmaking.
I can understand Bush not seeing it because she was born four years after it came out, and her family was too into politics to care about pop culture. But what is Kotb’s excuse? She was almost 13 in 1977, and I am sure all her friends were checking it out. So where was she? Sad.
Do I recommend to them to see it now? Probably not, because they will most likely think it doesn’t hold, just like when I recently watched The Godfather for the first time since I was a kid. I was like; this is far from the greatest movie that was ever made. And my friend got so pissed when I told him that. So mad I have never told anyone else because he made an offer I couldn’t refuse.
What do you think? Should they be forced to watch it?
