Movie: Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith (or as we say in the Old Country: "Danger, Wil Robinson!")

My expectations weren't that high, you know? the last two movies saw to that. I'd read some reviews - something I don't usually do before a movie - and the general opinion was this was a better movie than was expected: darker, stronger, better, longer etc. Well. 10 minutes in I was saying it was dumb. 20 minutes in I realised it was even dumber. by 40 minutes I was considering what else I could be doing with my time. But I stuck it out. I'm not sure I was *supposed* to find parts as funny as I found them - no.. not the cute corny stuff, that was just nausiating. No - parts like when Anakin spontaniously combusted; now *that* was funny. And how come they didn't take his burnt clothes off before patching him up and dressing him in his DV outfit? complete with voice-changer in the mouthpiece of the mask ($14.95 from The Warehouse) I don't think I'm the only kiwi who cringes having to put up with Dr Ropata in space, ow. Speaking of "ow" .. that's what the robotic troops say when they're diced by light saber "ow, ow .. ow ow o..." or.. if they get oil in their eyes. It's just crap. Oh and, if you do go and see it, check out that *everyone* has bad-plastic hair, just like Mr Lucas himself. Thank god that's over and he's never gonna make another one cos he's not good enough at it. Though, he's off to remake Indianna Jones - now he's learned how to ruin a good thing I guess there's no stopping him, or his hair.

tv tonight = me

Television knows I'm in tonight. It also knows to be nice to me as well, so it's lined up a bunch of my favourite shows to keep me happily ensconced on the sofa. The Simpsons - the episode where Bart is put on the drug Focasyn and becomes first, the model child, then a complete paranoid, steals a tank and goes on a tankdriving rampage. Antiques Roadshow - flicking between this and Fear Factor not really watching either but pleased they were on. Lost Souls - seemed like a good idea and possibly still is but.. well.. i need to watch it some more. characters and script's a bit dodge. American Beauty Odd Fellows Gala Jimoin in my kitchen there's a drawer at the top it has cutlery, forks knives, spoons the lot the next draw has a big knife with things that should go in the top drawer but don't fit and the third drawer down from the top is just fulla shit Danny Bhoy danny? wanna go for a run? why? are we being chased? muesli what the hell is museli? want some museli danny? what's that? it's kinda sawdust and raisins. that's not breakfast, that's scone mix! The Empire Strikes Back "away put your weapon, i mean you no harm"
