If you ever wondered, just how sad and pathetic IS schmevil...

Yesterday I was wrestling with the puppy and she gave me a nosebleed. I have reached a new low.

With No Experience In Such Maters, by Stephen Dunn

via greatpoets

To hold a damaged sparrow
under water until you feel it die
is to know a small something
about the mind; how, for example,
it blames the cat for the original crime,
how it wants praise for its better side.

And yet it's as human
as pulling the plug on your Dad
whose world has turned
to feces and fog, human as ...
well, let's admit, it's a mild thing
as human things go.

But I felt the one good wing
flutter in my palm --
the smallest protest, if that's what it was,
I ever felt or heard.
Reminded me how my eyelid has twitched,
the need to account for it.
Hard to believe no one notices.

comments on Star Wars Episode III (from YouTube!)

So I never saw Star Wars Episode III. Episode I was pretty terrible outside of the Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and lightsabre fights. Episode II was a nightmare I've managed to suppress, but for the Obi-Wan and the lightsabre fights. (Are you getting the impression that I'm here for the lightsabres and the Awesome Wan Kenobi? Because yeah, pretty much the case). Anyway, when Episode III came around, promising yet more wooden Anawangst, I gave it a pass.

I've been watching clips of it on YouTube and have come to realize that I absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, made the right choice. *wince* Oh, George. Why do they let you off the ranch? And honestly, poor, poor Ewan, having nothing but green screen and Hayden Christensen to work with. Tragedy.

Because I can't be bothered to write up a proper entry about this travesty, some comments on the film, culled from YouTube. Brace yourselves people!

"Darth Plagueis created Anakin by an experiment using a human (Anakins mother). The reason of Darth Plagueis of creating Anakin was to create the most powerfull Sith of all times (wich I think he did it). Anakin is not the Jedi of the profecy that will establish peace, Anakin has the destiny of become a Sith. The Jedi of the profecy would neither be Luke Skywalker even if he becamed the most powerful Jedi of all times, it would be his very VERY far grandson, Cade Skywalker."

"Sidious tells Vader, Padme is killer for him because Sidious knows if Vader find out Padme is still alive Vader have a reason to return tothe light side because Padme is the reason o Vader to keep something good inside of him because the Emperor dont destroy the all good inside of Vader, Vader have inside of him as still good the empero dont take the all good inside of him"

Amazingly, the part that's bothering me the most is Darth Plagueis. DARTH PLAGUEIS. Jesus Christ, George Lucas! What the eff is wrong with you, man? *flail*
