Who saw Episode I in 3D? My kid wanted to go, so I took him.
This was my first experience with the new Real3D or whatever they call it. It looked to me like it had "layers" in it or something. Not bad, but not perfect either.
And Episode I was worse than I remember it being. :lol:

My son is big into Star Wars and especially Lego Star Wars these days. I took him Sunday to the 3D Phantom Menace. It had been so long since I had seen it, I had forgotten a lot of it. I remember that I didn't like a lot of the satire that was in it. As a 3D experience, I found it very lacking. Layers is a good way to describe it. It didn't feel 3D in as it just looked layered. The actual made with 3D in mind previews were a much better 3D experience. They should have used more of the force.

Yeah, the screenplay seems real mechanical and totally predictable.
That whole "mitichlorian" or whatever business sure killed the whole mystery of the force, too.

Reminded me of this dialogue I read in today's t-shirt Woot deal.


It’s Just A Movie
Sometimes you can overanalyze the fun right out of something.

I didn’t really need to know where the robots came from. When I was little, I’d spend hours looking at their action figure replicas in my hands and think, “Why were you on that ship? What did you do before you were there? What made you guys best friends?” Then I’d just make up my own origin stories, usually involving a transforming truck or whatever toy I got in my fast food kids’ meal that week.

I never needed to understand why the smuggler uses a measure of astronomical distance rather than speed when referring to how fast his ship is. I didn’t have to see the gangster that was looking for him, nor a cameo appearance from the bounty hunter who would eventually catch him, either. My mother never had to explain to me why the smuggler killed that green guy in the bar. If I was on the run from people who might kill me, I’d probably shoot first, too.

It was easy to buy into the idea that there was a mystical energy field only certain people could control. No explanation or blood test was needed to solidify the concept in my head. And there’s was only ever one thing I really needed to know about the orphaned farm boy’s father. He was a bad guy who loved his son enough to make things right. That was enough.

When it comes down to it, all I really wanted was a silly movie about laser sword-wielding star wizards and their friends saving the galaxy in really cool looking spaceships. I just wish I would’ve known that sooner.

I did a little drinking last night, so this morning was not awesome.

By a little drinking I mean a lot.

By not awesome I mean the morning can fuck itself in its meathead face.

LOL! The other morning I warned every idiot I encountered while driving that they were lucky that I was not god for I would have surely smited them.

Of course, I would have felt bad the next day and being god, would have brought them back with no recollection of being smited.
 
I have started a new modified build. I learned from the last two. This one I will be using much better ingredients.
