In Film Studies, everyone has to present a few minutes of one of their favourite films and explain what they’re going to write about it (for the coursework, which comes later). I did AOTC scene 34, which is the one where Anakin confesses to the slaughtering of the Tuskens. It was interesting. People were talking about it afterwards. Mwah.

On November 30th there are not one, not two, but four DVDs I want/need to get: Spiderman 2, Prisoner of Azkaban, Thunderbirds and I, Robot (that one’s for my brother’s birthday). I think I may shortly need more money. In fact, eventually I may have to give up chocolate chip cookies merely to fund my DVD addiction.

…hang on, I Robot isn’t even out til the 2nd of December. That’s just one day before my brother’s birthday. Dangit.

This was slightly pointless. I’ll be back with icons later…

While looking at my screencaps from the ROTS trailer, it actually occured to me (for the first time-weird as that may seem) that Anakin actually is Darth Vader. You know how you’d always think of it as one of those split-down-the-middle posters with Anakin on one side and Vader on the other? I sort of realised recently that actually they are one and the same, even though obviously I already knew that.

Have changed my default icon to my ROTS one. Have begun countdown to May 2005 already.

Ultra-spoiler filled post. Now take me to May 2005.

Dear George Lucas,

You ROCK.

WOW Darth Sidious fighting and Mace fighting and Obi-Wan and Anakin fighting and Yoda almost fighting and things blowing up and Padme with Leia’s hairdo and kissing and fighting and spaceships and DARTH VADER OMG.

…wait, I said discussion, didn’t I?

Okay.

Darth Sidious looks GREAT. I wouldn’t be suprised if, after this movie, he’s elevated to the status of Best Sci-fi/Fantasy Movie Villain Of All Time. The few bits of the duel look interesting – there was something that looked like Anakin trying to cut Obi-Wan’s head off with his own lightsabre. Ooh, and there was one shot of Obi-Wan screaming/gasping like he’d just been stabbed. It looked oddly like a mirror of Qui-Gon’s death scene, and will probably generate much discussion.

There wasn’t very much of Padme – there was her and Anakin kissing, her and Anakin hugging, and her turning to Obi-Wan with a horrified expression on her face. No prizes for guessing what he just told her…

Anakin with yellow-red eyes I’m not sure about. I suppose because Maul had yellow eyes? I dunno how that would work, or what point in the movie it’s at. Anyway…it looks good. Then again, Anakin with bright pink eyes would probably look good.

Wookies! You can see Chewie in one of the shots. I was watching it with my brothers and we all went ‘Chewie!’ at once. Heh.

I *think* that shot of something burning might have actually been the Jedi Temple. I’m fairly sure someone said that it would survive, though, so maybe it’s just one bit of it. Hard to tell.

And ‘RISE’? Well…I felt a disturbance in the Force, as if thousands of fanpeople spontaniously combusted…

And can you expect more icons like the one I’ve just used? Hell yes. And very soon.

:D :D :D :D :D

I wish I could find something to say about the election. I didn’t want Bush to win, not really, but since I’m not American I didn’t have much choice in the matter I guess.

And I don’t even much want to write about politics here, in my fandom journal, so I guess I’ll just go. I just wanted to tell everyone that I do realise there’s an election on, I guess. :p
