It is still a great story, but once the wow factor is gone, you realize that Empire is the best. No question.


CGI killed ANH.

OK folks since the Pope is this month's hot subject, I'll share with you a joke that was actually written by Albino Luciani, Pope Jonh Paul the First, whose papacy only lasted 33 days. I must warn you, Popes are not good with comedy, so...

"A man was in the desert, almost dying of thirst. Suddenly, he sees someone standing in the desert. He runs towards that person, and it's a tie salesman. Although the man begs him for water, the tie salesman only wants to sell him a tie.

'Why would I want to buy a tie in the middle of the desert?', said the thirsty man, who abandoned the salesman and continued to walk through the desert. It gets dark, and he sees something that looks like a mirage: it's a fancy restaurant, filled with elegant, rich people who are getting there by limousines and helicopters. He runs to the door, and begs on his knees to the doorman:

'Please, sir, a glass of water!'

'I'm sorry, but the dress code here demands wearing a tie.' "

I've read other 2 jokes written by him, but they were all not very funny, they were supposed to be tales with morale and stuff...

You mean when he transforms into the "Blonde Babe"??? Yeah. That might get cut.
But as long as the story,music, ect isn't altered and the voices don't suck, I think I'll be happy.


It's very Dragon Ball-esque, it's funny, the characters are well developed, the animation is quite good, and it features one of my favorite villains... Gaara... my avatar!

Over here in Brazil the first screening will be at midnight, may 19th (midnight thursday ending around 2am friday, may 20th), which I will attend. But I've read more than once that the movie will be released in U.S. one day before Brazil, is that right? So, when exactly is the movie opening over there? If the movie is opening one day before, I'll avoid the originaltrilogy forum for 2 days until I can see it

bad luck

Well my whole LIFE has been filled with almost unbelivable bad luck. I think my parents ran over a gipsy with the car when my mom was expecting me, and she cursed her fetus moments before she died, all bloody on the road.

BUT... I've learned to live with my bad luck and take the most of it. As far as I know, everyone's life is ruled by the Yin-Yang law. Everyone is as miserable as the next person, it kinda balances. Imagine if your life was filled with happy moments all the time, and you never suffered or went through bad times; if something bad happened to you, your world would end, you'd feel terrible and stuff. If your life is filled with bad moments, when good stuff happen to you, you take the most of it, you can really appreciate that good moment...

I'm not sure if I'm completly clear, as I tried to explain this theory of mine as shortly as possible, but basically that's how life is. Good moments and bad moments. If life was good all the time, how would you know you're having a good moment? Happiness can only exist with sadness, lovw with hate, it's all yin-yang, all connected... See?

But anyway, I hope things work out for you, and that for the next month, you get some good luck.

Well uh it's not something to congratulate me for... besides, I'll have to wait another week, I'll be quite busy tomorrow

Sure Bossk I'll buy you one. Just send in the money, plus shipment and taxes, and I'll get you one

Chaltab: yes I'll play all of those, but for the moment I'll buy Nintendo DS with either Mario or Wario (the minigames one), whichever looks more fun. Maybe Mario.

Something I just realized: the DS is a handheld videogame, therefore it can be played in public places. Some games for the DS require voice commands. Now, I don't think I can yell "JUMP! JUMP! FIRE! FIRE!" at my videogame at a public place... Kinda embarassing...
