Once more, with feelings
Okay, I'll admit I'm one of those occasional geeks who made a point of seeing the new Star Wars movie on opening night. I've attended them all in the theaters, and was at the first showing in Westwood when the first movie (now rechristened Episode 4) premiered in 1977. I was in grad school at the time, and the only thing that kept me from sitting through it a second time was a meeting on my final paper. They handed out the original version of the "May the Force be With You" buttons. I still have mine.
I found a lot to like in the new movie, "Revenge of the Sith." Yeah, the characterizations and dialog are a bit stilted at times. You expect that going in. This isn't high art. Otherwise I found it very satisfying. I might even go see it again in the theaters, if I can find the time.
The latest Star Wars parody is going around at www.storewars.org. It's very silly; I like it. Check it out.
Meanwhile, I'll be off hanging with friends I only get to see once or twice a year at Baycon this weekend. If you're there, come here me play on Sunday night.
