Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

FUCKING AWESOME!

Okay, I will admit, I was a bit hesitant going into it. Phantom Menace was a big disappointment, and Attack of the Clones was just wretched, but Sith kicked hardcore ass. Maybe it was just because the story got more interesting, and you could see how it linked to the original trilogy, but whatever it was, it fucking worked. I'm not going to say too much, because not everyone is ridiculous like me and insists upon seeing it on the first day, but seriously, it was great. Some amazing sequences and thankfully, very little Jar Jar Binks.

I love opening day audiences like that. Usually when you go to the movies, you end up with obnoxious assholes who talk and giggle and let their cell phones ring and generally make the movie process unbearable. Not so at opening day Star Wars showings. Everyone in the theater was deathly silent, except during key moments when applause was clearly necessary. Even then, the cheering abruptly cut off as soon as a character started talking or something important happened. A totally great crowd.

Oh, I know that I missed the DH commentary last Sunday. Sorry about that. I will try my best to make up for it on Sunday, with the finale.
