so nick and i saw star wars: episode 2 last night. i have two major comments. one, it was much better than episode 1. two, george lucas should never again be allowed to do romantic scenes of any kind. anytime anakin and natalie portman made googly eyes at each other, i wanted to laugh out loud. the “love” scenes were so incredibly cheesy.
but the rest of the movie was really entertaining. all the chase and fight scenes were awesome, and watching yoda kick some ass was maybe the highlight of the entire movie. i liked both ewan macgregor and natalie portman better this time around, though the guy who played anakin could have been better. but all the dialogue seemed less wooden and forced–definitely a good thing. all in all, i guess i can sum it up in this statement: i’d consider seeing episode 2 a second time in the theater; i never want to see episode 1 again anywhere.
anyway. that’s my two minute review of the movie.
i love fridays. today i slept until 11:30. technically i have class at 2:15, but i never go because it’s so easy. it’s an undergraduate class about planetary exploration…a subject which i already know a lot about. this afternoon i’m going shopping with emily and her friend christina, who is visiting. i need a new bathing suit. hmm.
tonight is big dance! it starts at 9 and ends at 6 a.m. i don’t know if i’ll be able to make it all night, but we’ll see how it goes. i know it will be a lot of fun…just tiring as well. 🙂
