episode iii

wow. good movie. redeems eps 1 and 2. i just got back home, and i wanted to put some thoughts down here before they slip my mind. there might be spoilers? so if you haven't seen it yet, you might not want to read it.

oh, and one incredible thing that's not a spoiler. as the movie came on, people started clapping. i said "no clapping!" not very loud and there was no effect. people picked it up again louder as the name george lucas came on the screen and i said, "it's a movie. it can't hear you." loud enough for everyone to hear. amazingly, the clapping stopped. not all at once or anything but it died, and fast enough for me to be sure it was because of me. then the words started scrolling and one person, defiantly, began clapping loudly and then realized he was alone, and a jackass. i _shamed_ people into not behaving like morons! it's possible! i explained to them why what they were doing was idiotic, and they got it! anyways,

the movie is fucking brutal. it's pretty awful. and a lot of what anakin does makes sense in a skewed kind of way. what kept me going through the second half of the movie was the knowledge that anakin will redeem himself. i'm going to put episode 6 on as soon as i finish blogging so i can watch him throw that fucker down the shaft and save his son.

edit: i was thinking about putting this and i decided against it, but since it's casey's away message, i'm not alone. YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! best line in the movie. i thought so too.

some thoughts
how did the medical robot diagnose padme as having lost the will to live? is that in the medical knowledge databanks standard in all medical robots or something?
damn, those twi'leks are packing. even, no - especially the jedi twi'lek. in the words of an eloquent dog, did you bring enough breasts for the rest of the class? i swear, they took all strippers / pornstars, painted them blue, and glued some tentacles on their heads. hell, that wouldn't make a bad porno.
senator organa's wife is fucking smoking. i would filibuster in a second. get it? filibust her?
funny that obi-wan orders that c3po's memory be wiped but not r2's. that makes a lot of the dialogue in eps 4-6 better.

some unrelated ep 3 thoughts that are still in the movie category:
i've never wanted a movie poster before, but i want the johnny depp one for charlie and the chocolate factory. and batman begins.
i watched spiderman 2 last night. the dvd was sitting on the table, still wrapped, i assumed my brother bought it and opened it up. somehow i'd forgotten all the little things that bothered me in that movie. but whatever. the fighting was good. i could go on for paragraphs about all the little things wrong with the rest of it.

i saw unleashed the day before that. it's a good drama. it's hard to relate to someone who has been raised as an attack dog since childhood, and so it's hard to understand how he thinks. the action was good, when there was any, but it's not an action movie, so i won't judge it like one.
