05.28.05 (10:41 pm)   [edit]

Too tired to really blog and I'm hopelessly behind in annoying everyone with the tedious details of my life, but we did go to the movies last night (and even grabbed a bite and Noodle & Co or something like that beforehand). I wanted to see HGTTG, but sadly it was replaced at the Evanston Century by yet another screen of Star Wars. So we succumbed.

JT's Impressions:

1. My G-d, George Lucas needs to be beaten severely for writing that dialogue.
2. Digital effects, no matter how expensively created, suck my ass.
3. John Williams can use a beating, too.
4. James Earl Jones has the coolest fucking voice on the planet.
5. shark boy*
6. I never before noticed that Ewan McGregor has these really major moles on his face. They're extremely disturbing, considering how handsome he usually is.
7. No, really. The dialogue is just so fucking bad.
8. The story, however, stands pretty strong.
9. I slept through some of the battle scenes. Really, the digital crap is so irritating that it was like my whole system shut down. I'm also pregnant, so I am so tired...
10. Lucas' direction to the actors must have sounded like "now, say it as though you're (insert bad porn star name here)." You know, if you can't make Samuel L. Jackson sound tough, you really aren't all that good with actors.

Sorry, I wanted to like it more....

* To be explained later, if I remember. Pregnancy brain's a .....
....Huh? Did I say something?

hmmm. suddenly my desire to see it has dropped significantly.

Do we see Ewan's chest at any point?! Thats the main question. Or were you too put off by the moles?

i wouldn't appologise. I wasn't all that impressed either though it was good fun to watch. That's about it. No major awards for this one.

And yes, the acting really was all that bad.

Thanks for the critical review. I gather I should not break my leg and line up to see this epic, eh?

Frankly, I did not line up to see the last two epistles neither. The last one I saw, Harrison Ford was still Hans Solo. ;-)

NO naked Ewan McGregor. See, there's definitely less reason to see it.

Did you see him in Down With Love? Mmmmm....

Yeah, you really did hit it on the head. DH liked it better than I did, but I think most guys respond more to all the battle stuff than women, or at least I, do.

If you didn't bother with the last two, there might be some stuff that won't make sense in this one. However, I think everyone agrees that the first three really were something special.

You might want, someday, to get some friends together and watch the most recent three. With lots of lubrication so you can enjoy it more... They're not THAT bad. At least the story is really good.

Hmmm... lubrication? I regret to state for the record I am way past the age of lubrication!

Elibriation perhaps? Once or twice, I was plastered to the ceiling.
