I&#8217;m not asking, even though that&#8217;s a question.  Now here&#8217;s the thing.  I saw that piece of crap that everyone _wanted_ to like (even me) called Episode 1 (The Phantom Menace).  The only menace was the movie itself.  The phantom? that would be the direction, plot, dialogue, story, etc.<\/p>\n<p>And I totally missed out on Episode 2 (Some Pretentious Title I Know Not).  Apparently it was also crap, 2 minutes, except for, of yoda doing something with a &#8220;laser.&#8221;  Or was that the last Austin Powers movie?  I dunno, I&#8217;m sure someone out there can clarify.<\/p>\n<p>So now it&#8217;s time for Episode 3 (The Other Title I Don&#8217;t Care to Know), which hopefully rounds out the series.  Maybe we can all get on with life after this.  Now, my wife is planning on seeing it with a few friends of ours.  It seems I&#8217;m obligated to join them.  <a href=\"http:\/\/dev.gentoo.org\/~spb\">spb<\/a> advised me to do watch it after having had a stiff drink or two.  Apparently that&#8217;s what he did, and his review follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;episode 3 has really cool effects when anakin&#8217;s eyes turn evil,<br \/>\n              and has obi-wan fighting a four-armed lightsaber-wielding droid<br \/>\n              that&#8217;s all you need to know&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m actually fine with that.  Sounds like another 2 minutes, only spread apart to keep your attention.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the most sublime review I heard was this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Some peoples ejnoy EP III and some peoples not, I<br \/>\n               cannot say, which side I should to choose. Movie is not so bad,<br \/>\n               and not so dark and mystery like Lucas want to, and even awsome<br \/>\n               Natalie looks strange ;)&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>from <a href=\"http:\/\/startrek.pl\/~matti\/\">matti<\/a> in the old #gentoo-hardened channel.<\/p>\n<p>So, will I or won&#8217;t I? I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s open to debate, as I rather enjoy spending time with the wife.  So in this case, I&#8217;ll take one for the team, as it were.  I&#8217;ll report my findings when I see it.<\/p>\n<p>Oh right, Gentoo news: er, nothing&#8217;s happening there, really.  Got a few fixes to put in.  xterm needs loving, kerberi need loving, samba needs loving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I haven&#8217;t posted in a while, right?
