NOOOO!

[evilhippo]

All right. I have offically survived Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. If you can look beyond the atrocious acting and bad dialog, it was actually quite good. And let's face it, if you're watching Star Wars for the dialog and acting and not the space battles and lightsaber duels... well, I don't imagine you've watched more than part of one anyway. Plus the dialog in this one wasn't nearly as bad as the ones before (and totally lacked the horribly quotable lines the last Matrix movie managed to create). I think that's probably what won it all the positive reviews: better dialog (by virtue of there being much, much less) and HOLY SPACE BATTLES. Just what I was expecting from it. Beautiful, really. Well, okay, not really. But dude, lightsabers! Sadly, I did not dress up. Mostly because you could see my underwear through my white pants and though I looked force-adept I was no one specific, so I figured I'd avoid the questions and just put on some normal pants (I did not, however, change out of my killing-things Hawkeye-type boots). I don't think I'll say anything more, because if you want to know about the movie you really should go see it for yourself. There are a few facepalm moments, but for a movie where you already know exactly what happens in the end, it does a rather good job of entertaining you in the intervening time.

Other than that, today's been pretty uneventful. There were a few quotes here and there that I wanted to remember, but I don't anymore. And they were mostly entirely irrelevant to anyone but me anyway. So I'll let that slide. I did almost make a phone post from the bus though, just so other people could hear random shouting of "Hey, there were some good-looking Siths!"

Just so I will have now mentioned this twice in this journal: Chopin's Etude in E Major needs to stop being the basis for "We Were Lovers" because it drives me nuts trying to sing along and discovering it's not the same. Yeah. Silly Jean Jacques Brunel! (Also, someone needs to freaking seed the Speed Grapher 7 raw. Even though the whole love subplot/plot is freaking annoying, I'm still holding out for some hot Saiga-battle action). Also, the FMA OST-3 is, so far, much more listenable than the other two. Yay!

(ZOMG the SPOILERS! NOOOOOOO!)

I knew better than to drink anything when people weren't fighting. (-: But... wow... there was so much stuff to just sit there and laugh at. And I'm sort of disturbed that, the way they did it, it wasn't sad to see the Jedi die at all (okay, maybe a little... but you were only attached to Mace Windu, and he was seperate anyway). Just like "Bzzzt ::falls over::" But like, every scene Yoda had was awesome. And Hayden Christensen is still a horrible, horrible actor (even when on fire). ^_^ And the Darth Vader/Frankenstein thing at the end... and the "there's nothing medically wrong with her... she just doesn't want to live anymore" and... "good relations with the wookies I have" and... hehehehehe.

(SPOILERS PART TWOOO)

"not if anything to say about it I HAVE!"

you know, i got kind of ticked that the female jedi didn't even get to fight back. at least the others put up SOME sort of fight, but no, the girl goes down helplessly on A PLANET OF FLOWERS. wtf? "hi, i'm george lucas, i heart men."

i think everyone in the theatre squealed when yoda hopped onto the wookie's arm. he's cute AND awesome.

but, yes, to be fair, several of the light sabre scenes were really awesome. i like swoooords, woo! and r2. he, too, kicked a fair amount of buttock. :)

(OH NO! MORE SPOILERS!)

Omg, I almost forgot about R2's awesomeness. I didn't know/remember he had little jet boosters. Hehehe. I think there was too much bad romance and angst between R2's awesome scenes and the end, though, so they slipped through my mind.

Was the girl an actual jedi master, though? I don't remember... for some reaon I don't think she was, which might explain why she went down more easily. As for the stationing on giant iridescent flower planet though... I dunno. (-:

Everyone in the theatre cheered when Yoda killed the two clones, then basically giggled when he climbed on the wookies. I heart Yoda. ^_^ There was also random applause when he threw his lightsaber into that guy. I wanna be like Yoda when I'm 300.

*ignores Star Wars spoilers and skips to the bit about FMA OST3* I am addicted to the Dante waltz. I need a short blonde boy with a braid to dance with D:

[evilhippo.livejournal.com]

I shall build you one! Out of duct tape! Fully-automated and not based on Darth Vader at all (100% Guaranteed Not on Fire! Ninja Approved! I am insane! yay!)

It's sort of sad that, even at conventions, there is a serious lack of short blond boys. They're all female or tall. I wonder what sort of charges they'd get me with if I went down to the middle school on 56th and danced with the children while blaring Dante's waltz? (-;

[random-prophet.livejournal.com]

...But I'd like a Darth Vader-based Ed. D:

Well, I don't suppose you'd get charges if you were there to teach them how to waltz...
