Too much info in one sentence???

[tuboludo]

Okay, this is a tricky one. I want to share some certain info in this sentence. I like it the way it is, but I am worried that it both is too compact and at the same maybe too long with too much info. I don’t want to go into details since these info are has nothing to do with the story as such. When I try to break up the sentence I end up going in to too many details about the cinema I used to visit that summer, the 007 program etc.

What do you think of it?

“I had already seen You Only Live Twice countless times and I had been in love with the 007 character since I was 12 years old when I first watched all the 007 films in a local movie theater which that summer showed all the James bond movies that had been produced until 1977.”

yes sorry that sentence is way too long.

“I had already seen "You Only Live Twice" countless times. I have been in love with 007 since I was 12 years old and watched all the movies released until 1977 when I saw them in a local theater that showed them all summer long."

If you absolutely have to have it all in one sentence you can make use of a hypen instead of the full stop.

“I had already seen "You Only Live Twice" countless times - I have been in love with 007 since I was 12 years old and watched all the movies released until 1977 when I saw them in a local theater that showed them all summer long."

Thanks Pumkin, but why did u change my second "had" with a "have" ????? Ahh, because I "still am in love", right???

got it in one :D

actually coming back to the post I think I would leave out 1977 as well.

“I had already seen "You Only Live Twice" countless times - I have been in love with 007 since I was 12 years old and watched all the movies released until then when I saw them in a local theater that showed them all summer long."

or

“I had already seen "You Only Live Twice" countless times - I have been in love with 007 since 1977 and watched all the movies released until then when I saw them in a local theater that showed them all summer long."
