 THE END

Yahoo Serious Strikes Again!

Oh my god, you guys. I'm scared.

I know I have better blog posts I should be writing, but I just saw something that brought back a memory of that fateful day on our trip to Seattle.

There is an Outback Steakhouse Airship.

I hope I don't have to remind you that the Outback Steakhouse is secretly controlled by Yahoo Serious.

This bilmp is clearly a plot to search the globe for me and my two companions for stumbling onto the plot of the Yahoo Serious Iced Tea that they provide. They tried to kill us there, serving Tim some dastardly cinimon apples, which could only contain the essense of Yahoo Serious' loins.

But I'm on to them, because I saw their blimp and they're no where near me or Isabel or Tim. They'll never find us.

How did I discover this? Well, I'm at my Uncle Dave's house today, it is also my mother's birthday today. (Happy Birthday, Mom!) But these people here aparently like golf. Don't ask me why, it seems a silly and wasteful sport. But they are watching it. They're watching some kind of female amateur leauge game or something. The girls aren't bad looking. I suspect they wouldn't be on TV if they weren't. But lucky for us, we were given a shot of the Airship in question. This PGA tour is in New York, so they're toally in the wrong place if they want to find us.

I am now going to engage in anti-blimp action.

I cut my hair.

I am going to wear a hat.

No one can recognize me from above now. As it should be.

That ought'a hold em for a while.

So, what is it I have to do now for the future? Ah yes. Fanime, TechFutures Graduation, Howl's Moving Castle and Batman Begins. Also, I suspect in the next few days I'll be seeing War of the Worlds and maybe even Land of the Dead, which I have recently become interested in seeing. We'll see what happens though.

God it feels good not to have too much hair. Ahhhh....

You might say, "sometimes you don't even remember your name. What could make you remember this?"

Well, I was browsing Slashdot and found this article from the New York Times:
5
And that is not the only aspect of "Episode III" that you will see in a different light. If you watch the movie without doing the prep work, General Grievous - who is supposed to be one of the most formidable bad guys in the entire "Star Wars" cycle - will seem like something that just fell out of a Happy Meal.
2
Likewise, many have been underwhelmed by the performance of Hayden Christensen, who plays Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Only if you've seen the "Clone Wars" cartoons will you understand that Anakin is a seriously damaged veteran, a poster child for post-traumatic stress disorder. But since none of that background is actually supplied by the Episode III script, Mr. Christensen has been given an impossible acting task. He's trying to swim in air.
4
In sum, very little of the new film makes sense, taken as a freestanding narrative. What's interesting about this is how little it matters. Millions of people are happily spending their money to watch a movie they don't understand. What gives?

I'm not sure, exactly. But I love it. I'm pretty sure I'm both vegging out and geeking out though. Speaking of geeking out. Hey, let's look at those pictures.

Okay. Now I have finished talking about Star Wars. At least for a little while. I hope you (all none of you) have enjoyed it. Now you have to look forward to a fanime report, TechFuture's Class of 2005 Graduation and reviews for Howl's Moving Castle and Batman Begins.

I hate emo shit

Emo Kid You are 42% Rational, 14% Extroverted, 14% Brutal, and 14% Arrogant.

You are the Emo Kid, best described as a quiet pussy! You tend to be an intuitive rather than a logical thinker, meaning you rely more on your feelings than your thoughts. Not only that, but you are introverted, gentle, and rather humble. You embody all the traits of the perfect emo kid. You are a push-over, an emotional thinker, gentle to the extent of absurdity, and so humble that it even makes Jesus puke. If you write poetry, you no doubt write angsty, syrupy lines about depression, sadness, and other such redundant states of emo-being. Your personality is defective because you are too gentle, rather underconfident in yourself, decidely lacking in any rational thought, and also a bit too inhibited. I probably made you cry, didn't I? Fucking Emo Kid. To put it less negatively: 1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational. 2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted. 3. You are more GENTLE than brutal. 4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant. Compatibility: Your exact opposite is the Smartass. Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hippie, the Televangelist, and the Starving Artist. * * If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits. The other personality types: The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble. The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble. The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble. The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble. The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble. The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble. The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble. The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble. The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 30% on Rationality You scored higher than 9% on Extroversion You scored higher than 7% on Brutality You scored higher than 6% on Arrogance

When __Star Wars__ Ruled The World

Okay. This is only one month late. Filler time for the review:

Leading up to the movies release, I felt compelled to buy Star Wars merchandise. This led me to walk into a Burger King one day. Observe:

Boy, cutting people in half is super fun. Look at the expression on my face!~


OMG CHIBI VADER!


The chicken tenders changed shape. I dunno. Stars for Star Wars and lightning for the Dark Lightning that comes out of a sith lord's fingertips? Maybe? You tell me.


Woah, its a Gator!~


And yes, that is me. SURROUNDED BY NERDS! YOU NERDS!

Okay I think that's enough of that.

NOW ON TO THE REVIEW!

Time for some more misreviews ripoffing! I'd like to point out that I am in no way affiliated with Misinformer.com

Review
Its actually been a month since I've seen the movie. I'm having trouble remembering it. But I'll do my best. But since by now nobody really cares about what I thought of the movie, maybe I should concentrate on things that have nothing to do with the movie itself? I have no idea really. Let's just go over what happened. For nostalgia's sake, I bought tickets a couple weeks in advance at the Jack London Cinema's theater in Jack London Square. This is the only THX certified theater I know of. It is also the place where I saw The Empire Strikes Back Special Edition in 1997. It was the place where I saw Star Wars: Episode I on May 19th, 1999. Okay, maybe I didn't see Episode II there, but that movie sucked. I'd also seen Wonder Boys and a number of other movies there...Such as Kill Bill and The Water Boy, which had run the first trailer for Episode I a week before it played anywhere else. But anyway...For Episode III, I figured it would be a good place, and I didn't want to try and fight for a ticket to the digital projection version at the AMC. There had been a line already when we arrived about 4-5 hours early. We got a pretty sweet spot though, sort of in this homeless guy's paradise but was conveniently well guarded from the rain. It was Isabel, Geoff, Connie and me. It was kind of cool getting there early. Costumed people were there, one dude had a PSP, a couple people were watching things on laptops. One person was watching Episode II on a laptop...but it was FRICKING PAN'N'SCANNED! What self respecting star wars geek would watch it pan'n'scanned when they're waiting to watch the first showing at midnight? Well, they were farther back in the line, maybe they weren't so hard core. Maybe they were fakes. The bastards. There were dudes with Park Sabers (god I want one~) and sabers made by Master Replicas. In general, I had a good time. Though in the end, I lost my damn good umbrella and I also got very sick. This led to problems with my final exams, but I'll save that for another non-review post. They let us into the movie about an hour early. It was quite a wacky experience. Fuggin Jedi-wannabes walking around the theater, brandishing lightsabers. The 'film' started and I can't say I was disappointed. What can I say about this movie that isn't spoilers. I'll say this: The movie did what it needed to do. The peices with Anakin and Kotex® Padme was acceptable, for a change. My least favorite thing about Episode II was the fact that Anakin was like a little kid and kids cant fall in love. I don't care what you say. Since by Episode III we can accept they are in love, we don't have to worry about them attempting to fall in love. By this point we can just assume it wasn't a match made in heaven, and I don't know how many people I know who are married that fit that very same description. Also, we have someone to blame for...well maybe I should save that convo for the spoiler section. I liked Yoda, as usual. The only Yoda I didn't like was the Yoda sitting in the Jedi Temple in Episode I because that was just a terrible looking puppet...He didn't look 860 years old. He looked 520 years old. God damnit. He looked Yaddle's age. This is the main reason why I loved the digital Yoda. He looked more like Empire's Yoda, just, you know, more articulated. I'm still against Yoda swallowing, as he did in Episode II though. I met one of Yoda's animators once. She was a nice lady. But, I think this is one of the problems with digital characters, the animators very often base the performances on themselves. Have you ever seen the Final Fantasy movie? Have you noticed how the bad guy looks nothing like James Woods, but almost exactly like the guy who animated the character? Same reason here. It wasn't Frank Oz doing the digital Yoda. Here's what they should have done, they should have created like a digital puppet type thing. Frank Oz sticks his hand in the thing, and it acts just like the regular Yoda puppet. I think it'd be really funny to see Yoda pick up a soiled prophylactic with a pen. If there's one thing I don't like about Star Wars post 1997, (and there's actually more than one, but let's not get into that) it's the very slow simple zoom in that's common now. You first see it on Obi-wan's updated pad in the A New Hope Special Edition. And it seems to be all over the place in this movie. I DON'T CARE FOR THIS CHEAP TRICK! It can be done better. I want to know who's to blame for this so I can slap them. But, I'm really a gentle person, I wont deny it. This movie was very good. I saw it again that weekend IN DLP (WHOO!) and I suggest you go see it if you haven't already. Get your ass over there to that damn theater!
Spoilers I dunno if I've ever been more satisfied by child killing before. It's safe to say I've never been satisfied by child killing before. Way to go, George. Everyone seems to hate on R2D2's antics in this movie. What's so wrong about him squirting oil on those 'droids and then setting it on fire better than Michael Madson could ever have dreamed of? The little 'droid, bless his cold metal heart, is a mechanic after all. His job is to fix space ships and keep them well lubricated. And, some space ships are a bit too big to get access to all paces by wheel. Therefore he needs jets, right? Jets with fire. Oil is flamable. DO THE MATH! Stop bitching. C-3P0 wasn't so bad in this movie, in Episode II he made James Bond's puns something to look forward to. WTH man? '3PO isn't supposed to be a damn witty guy. He's supposed to be a freaking used car salesman. He did okay in this movie though, his lines were appropriate. Damn if those babies didn't look exactly like Luke and Leia. The lips on that baby girl's face. Damn, it was uncanny. Still, to hell with Padme. You couldn't give birth if your life depended on it you whore. Wife of a child killer. Even after she found out he murdered dozens of children she still defended his ass. TO HELL WITH YOU! Anakin's reaction to Padme's pregnancy bomb was humorous. Not in an embarasing way. It was like, hey, that's probably the proper reaction. How funny. I mean, you could see in his eyes he was saying "What? YOU SAID YOU WERE ON THE PILL YOU WHORE." "There are only two things you can say in that situation: Wow. This is amazing I love you. Or. Whatchugon'do?" Okay, I've never been good at repeating stand up acts. But that's what was going on. DAMN Ki-Adi-Mundi! You went out like a punk! You binary brained bastard. So much for Kit Fisto too, at least he survived longer than those other punk jedi that went out at the hands of Palpatine, with the exception of Mace Windu of course. And don't even get me started on Plo Koon. Let me get this straight. A Twi'lek can be both a slave girl erotic dancer wearing a bra that tends to let boobs pop out...and a jedi master. And they're only women. No male Twi'leks, and that's the way we like em. Or wait. What about Bib Fortuna? SHUT UP MAN!~ Damnit. You have to ruin my fantasy. But anyway, yeah. Aayla Secura went out like a bitch too. But hey, she's a Gator, so I'll give her a break. It was also one of the nicest camera tricks in the movie, the way they hid the graphic death she had. To think that one of us made it to ILM. It's nice to look forward to. I wish I could die on screen as a jedi, even if I do go out like a bitch. I don't think I've got much else to say about the movie.

Next post, if I can get the motivation, will be fanime centric. But since fanime feels so long ago now, I don't think the post will be very long. The pictures I have are, as usual, pretty worthless. Oh well. I got a few worth looking at.

After that, I suspect I'll talk a little about the TechFutures class of 2005 graduation. And after that, if the timing is correct, I'll talk about the 2005 worldOne festival.

PLEASE! If you're in the east bay on July 4th and you are bored, and you don't care too much for fireworks, please head on over to the Cerrito Vista Park for the Seventh Annual worldOne Festival. A day's worth of free music and um, love? And there'll be festive activites, such as last year's rock climbing thing and various Rotary stuff. They also had a circus last year! So get your ass over here. It'll be fun.

Later.
