Episode III

[dr_tectonic]

Saw Episode III tonight. We had a dozen people show up, yay! I liked the movie. There was some clunky acting and awful dialogue (mostly near the beginning, mostly centering on Anakin & Padme), but the pretty pretty effects and settings were all over the movie, and all the fight scenes were action-riffic and fun to watch, and it was a Star Wars movie.

The last chunk of the movie was all about symmetry and echoes and reflections of other bits elsewhere, which I thought was pretty neat (if cheesy in spots). The movie sort of felt a little bit compressed -- like there were reactions and developments that would have felt more natural if they could have unfolded over a minute or two of screentime, rather than 20 seconds, but that would have made the movie far, far too long.

Oh, and Ewan MacGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi is freakin' HAWT. (My boyfriends are gonna hassle me for saying it, but he is.)

Revenge of Sith and hawtness

Dr. Tectonic:

Greetings! I'm glad you enjoyed the eye candy. I'm looking forward to seeing it myself, though a commentator from the Ottowa Sun had something interesting to say (and now the link from Google News is gone. Figures.)

Congrats, Felicities and Best Wishes to you, Kung Fu Monkey and Saint Pookie.

After you've achieved your Gaadi-awful goal(s), perhaps there will be place for Hugo, assuming I don't hide him safely in the Clouds somewhere...

Thanks!
Fret not, there's plenty of room for Hugo and company in my plans. =)

Very kind of you to include me in your plans. Dare I inquire, sir, as to what those plans might be... ?

To make the world a better place, of course. =)
As for the details, well, they're far too tedious and complicated to bother discussing -- I wouldn't dream of boring you with them.

I can't imagine Dr. Tectonic's plans to make the world a better place ever being boring--though if your grand designs and current plans are limited to sweeping and mopping the floor, as important as housework is, I'd concur, hearing about it would be tedious. Complicated? Well, you're right. It's probably beyond me. Oh well... ;-)
