dear few and a far-between,

so, i'm sure you're all wondering why i haven't see STAR WARS, EPISODE 2: ATTACK OF THE CLONES as of yet, since it has been open for over 24 hours now...

well, i've got this friend from college, Dave, and we used to see almost every movie together... up until we both got ourselves some serious girlfriends within the past two years. anyway, we've been talking about the Star Wars prequels since back when we were freshmen in college, back in '93. ("I hear he's actually starting to work on them. They're going to be PREQUELS...") so i figured, if i only got to see 1 movie w/ dave this year, it ought to be a Star Wars movie.

But he's working out of town all weekend.

So we're going to have to see it Monday night.

Adulthood is sobering.

The sad thing is how much spoiler information I *already* know about the movie. Anakin gets bitten by a radioactive ewok and turns into Chewbacca. Lando Calrissian's father, Bubba, turns out to be the cousin of Jabba the Hut. And Jar Jar Binks moved to L.A. to start an acting career, had his lover killed, tried to commit suicide over the guilt, then had a 90 minute dream sequence. The Lucas camp better try to keep a better lid on these details with Episode 3...
