Much more important than eating, I can tell you that.

First of all, I'll ignore the fact that you said good luck (you know how the superstitions go and everything) and just assume you meant well. So thanks.

Every semester we have cattle call, which is open auditions for all the shows we're doing in a season. And, honestly, it's sad, but I can only think of two of the three shows we're doing fall semester: A Streetcar Named Desire and Footloose. I need a 60 second monologue (which my girlfriend is helping me with) and a song if I want to be involved in musicals. Several months ago, as something of a joke, I decided to sing "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid. The few people I told thought it was a cool idea, and I decided to do it. But now that I have two days to go, I'm getting slightly cold feet about singing for Ariel...

EDIT: Oh, yeah. Is there any reason why you capitalized the L in school?

3,800! That's a nice milestone to reach before school starts. I've made well over a thousand posts in this summer alone. I can't believe it's over. I feel nauseous. And that's mostly because I have auditions in less than 48 hours! My nervous twitch has started back up again.

I just don't understand why I haven't made myself watch it yet. I mean... I own it. And Batman's my favorite superhero. I just don't get it. I'm crazy.

I think that George Lucas should get sued!

Really? You know, I never thought about it like that before.

Heh, yeah, Kucas. I liked that. I also liked where you wrote foof. Kucas and Foof. That should totally be the name of a cartoon. Or a sexual position. I haven't decided yet.

You notice in that one screen shot how the view is in the center of the Falcon when the cockpit is on the side?

It's strange, though, because I wish that filmmakers were in control of their own projects. But then we have filmmakers like Lucas who totally abuse that right, and it makes me wonder if it should be like that or not.

Really? I always thought the speeder bike chase was one of the best-looking effects segments of the entire trilogy. I thought it looked extremely believable. And, once again, it was something I never saw garbage mattes on until the DVDs.

Yeah, I see what you mean about it just being a conversion kit. On the picture of the cabinet that MagnoliaFan posted, there is an image of the Death Star and the Rebel pilots flying towards it. Yeah, I definitely remember that in ESB.

Yeah, Returns is my favorite Batman film (well, I honestly haven't seen Begins yet) even though it seemed like nothing in that film was shot on location.

I just want to clarify that I didn't start this thread to point out mistakes or to show that I'm condemning or complaining about "mistakes." I'm pretty tolerant with special effects, and I still believe that the Star Wars trilogy effects for the most part look great even today. And that's what's amazing about them. And the stuff that does stand out, like the rancor, just adds to the charm. I never complained about that as a kid. I just realized that they couldn't get everything perfect. That's just the way it is. It's a movie, and we're supposed to deal with it. No big deal.

Yeah, the most ridiculous examples are the Gerudo guards. You slash them with your sword or shoot them with an arrow, and they just fall over with little birdies flying around their heads. Yeah... Those bitches are so dead.

I don't know. I always liked the movie's Penguin as a freakish pervert. Maybe that's just me.
