I Have Returned...

sadlikeknives...from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, hailed as the geek social event of the season before Joss started offering up Serenity. The line for my showing was all the way out and around the lobby by six-thirty, and the movie started at seven-thirty. Two young men came dressed as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader and staged an Epic Battle out front.
Despite the fact that the woman sitting next to me had apparently never been to a movie in her life (she was flummoxed as to why there would be commercials airing when she took her seat a half hour before the movie started, infuriated that she had to produce her ticket to get back in if she left the theater, and talked through the trailers until I asked her to, "Please shut the fuck up,") a good time was had by all.
Dude. The trailers alone were worth the price of admission. Fantastic Four was awesome (Johnny Storm is going to rock, yo), and then Narnia gave me chills.
And then that big beautiful Firefly blazed across the screen and I spontaneously shouted, "YES!" and quite possibly died a little from the sheer glee. The Serenity trailer was the only one to get an audible reaction from the audience, never minding me mouthing the lines along. Wash's, "Oh god oh god we're all gonna die?" got quite a laugh, and then Mal had his Mal moment "I'm unarmed." "Good." *boom* and they fucking CHEERED. It was beautiful.
And then there was the actual movie.
The dialogue sucked ass. But we knew the dialogue was going to suck ass going in. And the story of how Anakin turned to the Dark Side really made no sense (have they no modern medicine to use in childbirth???). And Padme's death makes Leia's remembering her and Luke's mother make no sense whatsoever, but whatever. The battle scenes kicked ASS.
Hi, I'm a shallow creature.
I love Yoda. So very much. That is all.
Okay, my mom won't tell me what happened on CSI. Somebody help me out. They didn't actually go through with Nick, did they? What happened?
