Big Update

I was amused that you said: “the photo to the right is the inside of my computer” - So I immediately looked at the picture and decided… that’s one hell of a case mod… he’s got all his computer components looking exactly like a greasy spoon breakfast platter! Hmmmmm bacon… (I guess your images are on rotate - the one I happen to be looking at is a greasy breakfast and not a computer)

BTW - I was setting up my aggregator on my web site and your XML link at the bottom of your pages is wrong… well kind of… it says the link is http://www.derekmartin.ca/rss/index.php - but that doesn’t work - because the page re-directs to your real feed - i.e. http://derekmartin.ca/rss/DerekMartin.xml… Andyway… I’ve figured it out… and now you can read your site on my site :-)

You are in good company - the only other feed I have at the moment is I Cringely (http://www.andremolnar.com/aggregator/sources/2) - and note that you are #1…

My Episode III Review

Don’t know if you caught my review - but you commented on the one scene that almost made soda shoot through my nose when I watched the film… i.e. the birth of Vadar… Fuck - that should have been the best scene in the film - but it was quite literally the worst scene in cinematic history… So bad its good (in a very ironic way)… so bad that I will be making fun of it for the rest of my life….

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

tania said: Actually, I believe the dialogue was: “You’re so beautiful.” “It’s only because I’m so in love.” “No — it’s because I’m in love with you.” “Love has blinded you.”

(It’s equally stupid.)

I blame Hayden Christensen for much of the suckiness of the film. I think that a good actor (who can actually look mean and has more than one tone!) could’ve added some dignity to the crappy dialogue.

The last bit with the Darth Vader outfit was very cool. The volcanoe scenes were cool too. Apparently, that’s actually footage of Mt. Etna. at 2005-05-23 01:21:06

At least Ewan MacGregor played Obi Wan with some dignity… at 2005-05-24 04:03:14
