A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Yes, I saw the long awaited Star Wars E III: Revenge of the Sith. I must say that it was everything I had hoped it would be and perhaps a little more. Like this sounds so lame, but yesterday when I was talking to a few ppl about seeing it I said, I have a feeling that I am going to cry at the show. We all knew that Anakin was turning to the dark side (and if you didn't then I don't know where you have been for like the last twenty some years, heh) but it really was a sad situation. I think I remember three or four times throughout the film that made tears gather in my eyes, but there were not any streaming tears down the face (I think those were only reserved for Padmé). Anywho. It is prob the best out of EI and EII. The fight scenes were great as well. I do not want to ruin the film for anyone who has not seen it, but there is a pretty bitchin light saber scene btw Obi-Wan and General Grievous. And also, I have always loved Yoda, but seeing this installment also reminded me of how much I love R2D2. I forgot how witty of a little robot he is and how quick he is to react and such. There are some pretty good scenes with him as well.

I did not see too many viewers in costume last night, a few in capes, and a few 14 yr olds with Darth Vader masks. There was one guy in our theatre that I felt bad for. Like he stood up during the previews and was like, 'let's all sing a song, screw the previews' and like he had it coming that ppl were going to rip on him and make fun of him (I can still hear James shouting "Down in Front!!"), but it didn't call for anyone shouting, "Hey, queer sit down". Made me kinda mad, so I just turned around and gave a dirty Asian glare at him. We pretty much took up the whole row of seats, James, me, Eric, Kunal, Rob, Andrew, Charlotte, Brian, Brent and like four or five others whom I did not know their names. The 'manager' for our theatre was like "This is a sold out show, so if there are any empty seats in between you please move in." There was no saving of seats. Which at this point there was an empty seat between Kunal and I because we were saving a seat for Rob while he went to the restroom. There was a list of things that he said he was going to do before the movie started, refilling popcorn, soda, and a few restroom activities to take care of. Point being, James said if the 'manager' lady said to move in, he was going to say "It's my bro's seat, he's taking a deuce!" So that Rob could have a walk of shame when he went to go to his seat. However, it didn't come to that. (Lucky Rob).

After the movie we chatted for a bit in the parking lot. Charlotte went home she was way tired, but the rest of us went to Steak 'n Shake (Rob, James, Kunal, Eric, Andrew, and I). It was a pretty funny time there. I swear getting them all together like that makes me laugh so freakin hard. Like last time I was around Kunal, it was freakin hilarious. It is too much to write about all the jokes that were made about random things, but the guys were pretty good at keeping up with each other as far as making ridiculously funny statements. Then we said our byes out in the parking lot. Poor Kunal had to drive back to Bloomington. He had to use his roommates car and had told him, he would have it back by like 3am...which I just laughed at him for cause the movie didn't start til after 12 and then the movie got out at like 2:30ish. Not quite sure how he was planning that one. Anywho.

All for now!
