I'm trying to give these comics titles that are more clever, like in Polymer
City Chronicles. That guy puts some brilliant puns in his comic titles
and the comics themselves, I'm always amazed.
Anywho yeah, Star Trek was a great show. (I only mean The
Next Generation.) Too bad they don't make any of that stuff anymore,
but I guess the era of the character-driven space-epic is over. That's
right, I saw Star Wars 3 today.
I'm not gonna give any spoilers, but let's just say that I really enjoyed
the first 20 minutes of the movie, and as for the last 2 hours, I could
take it or leave it. It was just okay, y'know? Normally I would be really
annoyed by a movie that didn't make me care about any of the characters,
but that's just what I've come to expect from Star Wars movies today.
At least we got some good R2-D2 action in there, I swear, that
little blue droid is CARRYING those movies, all of them. And yet,
with all the horrible dialogue, they even managed to give R2 beeps and
whistles that sounded a bit forced. I don't blame R2 though, at least
his delivery was believable.
I just wish they had sent the script to me three years ago so I could've
rewritten the dialogue, cuz the script had "first draft" written
all over it. Oh well, woulda shoulda coulda. Peace. -Lars
