Star Wars: The Best Movies Ever

God, it has been years since I watched these movies. And its strange how much they've changed.

The first versions of the original three Star Wars films were kind of corny, sure. But it was Star Wars! And then George Lucas went back and changed some things, added others, making it better! (see: Hans shot first, except that he kinda didn't...)

But what I didn't realize is that he'd gone back again, in the space between the tape releases and the newest additions to the story, and made even MORE changes!

Did anybody else notice that?

I've seen the extended ending to Return of the Jedi, and loved it! But since when were there Gungans? That one's new. And I'm pretty damn sure that Hayden Christensen wasn't acting when the final ghost scene was shot the first and second time around. And yet, there he was.

I'm. Well. I hate the last two newbie movies. But I'm just happy that, even though childhood memories aren't going to serve when it comes to these films, they all link together now. The subtle differences are smoothed out, so later generations would never really be able to tell which set of films came first.

But they will probably still look at each other askance with the whole Luke/Leia thing.
I'm weird, but even I'm sketchy on that one.

ps- Han Shot First. Even when he didn't.

Dark City: He took the blue pill.

What if The Matrix was directed by the guy who did The Crow?
You'd have Dark City.

Directed by Alex Proyas, (he directed The Crow), this movie has Rufus Sewell (Prince Leopold from The Illusionist), William Hurt (General Ross, Iron Man), Jennifer Connelly (Sarah, Labyrinth), and Keifer Sutherland (if you don't know who he is, you need killing), and is therefore awesome by default.

At the risk of spoiling you guys, this movie is (and I am dead serious) a mix of The Crow, Total Recall, and The Matrix.

Tha's it. You seen those three movies, you got this baby covered.

Watch it anyway.

College Food, The Adventures of: Week ?!

So I got paid yesterday, and this means real food.

Unfortunately, my closest and most realistic source of real food is Target. Its about two miles from my dorm, so I can bike it, easy. I just can't buy too much.

Anyway, since I do the Target, my food choices are limited.

After living for almost two weeks off of Lucky Charms and deli sandwiches, I was ready for a fucking change.

So we switched to Honey Bunches of Oats w/ Strawberries for ceral, plain yogurt (my drug of choice from France), frozen corn and sweet peas, some granola bars, a bottle of Gatorade, a fridgepack of Diet Coke w/ Lime, and some cool looking seltzer water.

Note that all of this has to fit into a backpack or on the rack behind my bike seat, and make it across two busy intersections.

This, ladies and gentlemen, was an adventure.

Right now I'm heating up some frozen corn and sweet peas in my less-than-enthusiastic microwave, hoping that I can balance out my half-month long lack of ANYthing healthy.

::rubs face:: Ah, college. I'm still clinging to the foolish notion that quality can still equate quantity, even on my limited budget. My mother (God bless the woman) knows a bitch-load of tricks to getting decent food, despite the school cafeteria's many attempts to foil such radical things.

Ah, my veggies just finished. Fucking perfect.

I'm gonna go bask in the vitamins and stuff...

College strikes again.

So my sister's birthday is tomorrow. I totally thought that it was today and I'd missed it. So I took off running cross my quad for my cell phone, and called her (it was midnight where she was) to wish happy birthday.

Conversation:

Me: Happy birthday!
Dale: Thank you...
Me: Sorry, to call so late. How was your birthday?
Dale: ... its tomorrow.
Me: ... shit!
