Favorite moments included Owen Lar’s girl Beru fixing drinks (“…and she never left that kitchen,” I said. “She spent 20 years pouring blue drinks,” Dean added) and when Obi-wan holds up the poisoned dart that just killed the assassin and says “It’s a poison dart.” Yes, folks, that’s yer famous Jedi deduction skills at work right there.

We soon lost count after trying to figure out how many times Anakin makes his rapist face.

I had a great time. Not only was it fun knowing the film well enough to make cracks about it, I truly love that film more with each viewing. We get to see the dirty streets of Coruscant, a four-armed short-order cook who sounds like Earnest Borgnine, the insect planet, Jango Fett, the hard-working single-parent bounty hunter, and Anakin asking Padme, as they lay on a field of wildflowers with waterfalls flowing in the background, if she ever gets that not-so-fresh feeling. We also learn that Naboo is famous for having the largest-assed pigs this side of the galaxy. I’d guess that Giant Pig Ass is the planet’s main export.

It’s all great stuff. It’s a shame most of the 30-somethings out there forget that they were a lot more easily impressed when they were seven. Some of us still are, I guess. Their loss.

I just, really, don’t recommend TC enough (probably because I’m usually reading him on my Palm Pilot).

Also, just to steal some of his thunder, I’m going to link to TC’s friend Mindcrime as well. Observe:

The shock wave slammed the first girl into the back of the elevator. Eyes rolling back into her head, she slid to the floor, unconcious. Her mistake had been being directly behind my behind.

Next came the smell. Utterly, indescribably evil. E-VILE. It was the smell that followed the gods of death and decay as they walked through their gardens of rot and putresence […]

The second girl began to bleed from her eyes. Her throat turned crimson, swelling to twice its size,and she clawed for air just before she too fell to the floor, another victim of the assassin smell.

Good stuff.

Still can't get that damn blockquote to shove over on the right so it's all post-it-note looking. Blah.

Thanks for the props, dude. I've been trapsing around Green Island for the past few days so I didn't get a chance to see them until now.
