Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005): not much i can say about it that hasn't already been said. of course i loved it and all that. i knew i'd love it walking out of attack of the clones. i am lucky enough to say that i remember growing up with star wars in my life back during the original movie frenzy. loved them growing up and loved the first two prequels. people gave them a ton of crap but i thought they were amazing times ten. sure they had their infamous crappy moments, but so much of the rest of the film made up for it. anyways, number three was great. natalie portman was great. i mean, i really didn't expect anything less than what i think now, so it kind of sucks because there was no big surprise. i knew it would be near perfect. i didn't understand why yoda gives kenobi that qui-gon jinn related assignment at the end. if any one's got any ideas let me know. also, i recall leia talking about how she remembers her mom, just barely, and that she was really beautiful. so, instead of thinking that lucas actually made a mistake like this, i'll assume she wasn't talking about padme' but bail organa's wife. there were some bad ADR, which i can't remember what it stands for, but basically the words didn't match the moving lips. usually it was coming from hayden, which could explain why it was bad. the movie let some big stars shine and really have their moment. i thought ewan mcgregor did outstanding. oscar nomination worthy. good seeing other sides of yoda. sam jackson and ian mcdiarmid looked like tired old men fighting. thought the dark side was a joke just cuz i didn't think that mcdiarmid did the best of jobs. and i didn't feel like i really saw a good transformation from anakin into vader. its like a number of years and more experience will have to pass before he really becomes the man than vader is. the puzzle also doesn't fit exactly into place because the battle between kenobi and skywalker was so freaking huge and the impact they will forever have puts to shame the little battle they had in a new hope. and i'm not talking about the way they fought each other twenty-something years later. more like the way they acted toward one another. maybe time changed their feelings for each other or just kinda got over it. by the way, their battle against one another was unbelievable. there is lots and lots of action and story. most scenes lasted less than two minutes, so everything is totally fast pace. i will give my seal of approval for how this movie segue's into a new hope. hats off to that one. and just think, all this crap happens over a girl. it all stems from a single girl. and who is that girl? you all know the answer. so i guess i can't really blame skywalker for going to the dark side. buy it of course.
while running tonight, i put two and two together and determined that i really pride myself in my driving skills. to some, like kim, this won't come as a shock. to everybody else, you could care less one way or an other.
funny how we'll have different opinions about a person if that person dies. like karen and i know ryan as much as anyone else. karen knows things about him that i don't, and vice versa. yet when he dies and karen and i pass along the story of ryan onto our kids, we will be telling them very different stories. that last sentence tends to imply that karen and i will be having children together. kim, there is something i've gotta tell you. haha. just kidding. and not to just pick on kar and rye, but just think about other people. basically, match up three people and try it out. and this isn't supposed to be a big shocker that i've discovered. obviously people have different experiences with each other to give us a number of possible impressions of that person. this was merely conversational and interesting to think about.
my horrible five days a week for five weeks class about nothing by the worst teacher alive is finally over with. i've been having quite the party in my head. all i've been doing is playing games in my laptop. like its so different from my computer i'm typing on right now, but i love it. currently i'm working on my 100% of gtaiii and also playing metal of honor: allied assault. yes, these are very old games and have been sequeled twice over now, but i'm trying to get myself used to the controls of the keyboard so that when san andreas comes out i'll be all set. that sounds really retarded.
with tupac continuing to blow up charts left and right, i wonder how he feels about his music that people put together. does he look down at us from thugz mansion and just shake his head at how they produce his songs? i wonder how he would have put these songs together had he been alive today. would be cool to compare the two versions. hey, that could be a nice double album. maybe pac wouldn't like nate dogg doing vocals on everything he can get his hands on. i hope he approves because i still like all of what i hear.
speaking of, isn't it funny that as soon as summer hits all the rap stations start pulling out all the mexican hip-hop. i guess we all like the image of mexicans rapping in a park in socal drinking their 40s. that is what summer has turned into. not that i'm complaining. i love that 'sub-genre' or whatever you'd call it. i'd rather hear is a mexican do hip-hop than a black guy. mexi-rap though i can go without. it hard to know what they are saying since most of the time its in spanish. anyways, i'm glad summer is here. today was beautiful.
