The good, the bad and the lame
So I saw Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith last night. My short review without giving too much away. The first half was boring, slow, and lame in some parts. After the first 20 minutes I was hoping rest of the movie wouldn't be like this. Not to say it was as bad as Episode I and II, but it was just soooo slow.
But then the second part of the movie totally made up for the first part. It was awesome with a few continuity errors along the way for the original three, but thats something you'll have to see for yourself.
So new Star Wars Ratings (best to worst)
Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
Revenge of the Sith
Return of the Jedi
The Clone Wars
The Phantom Menace
Yes, you saw it, it reached my goal. I would say it was good movie if it was better than Return of the Jedi, which I think was setting the bar low, but hey, I and II didn't reach it, so I had to.
Angel actually created this
P.S. I am so extremely tired right now. I need a nap seriously.

Stardust and Beer Cheese Soup
So this weekend, J and I went to go see Stardust, a play based on the Neil Gaimen novel. I can't say enough how excellent it is, everyone needs to see it, especially if they are a Neil Gaimen fan - I'm talking to you Dave. In a somewhat interesting twist of events, the tickets did not have the address, I had a somewhat vague idea of where the theater was, but since I knew my upstairs neighbors, Paul and Vanessa worked with the theater group, I decided to call Vanessa and ask where it was. She obviously knew where it was, but even more importantly she was in the play!! Look for the queen witch, and man did she play it well.
Afterwards, J and I went over to Chief O'Neils on elston. They have the best beer cheese soup. We ate, then drank like fish and debated calling people at various hours of the night. Two drunk old friends are usually up to no good. We both commented that there was no eye-candy for us that night. I did get hit on by a skeezy drunk guy a couple of times. Once coming out of the bathroom and again trying to get drinks at the bar. Him and his cohorts at one point were trying to hit each other in the nuts. You know thats a quality man there for you.
The only regret I have from that night is that I missed Jim and Kelly's call about getting a drink. They live so close by that if I would have gotten the message earlier I would have invited them along. Ahh, we'll have to do it again sometime soon guys!
