re: Revenge of the Sith.

The PG-13 rating is no joke. If you have young/sensitive kids, try to see it before they do so you know the parts where you might want to take preventative action.

Let's just say that Vader didn't go evil by jaywalking.

billytea, I am so glad to hear you are doing so well. You had a crapper of a time there for awhile and you deserve so much happiness!

Yay, vw!! Interviewing queen!

connie, without going into detail, was Revenge of the Sith good? I saw Ep. 1 and thought it blew. Didn't even bother seeing Ep. 2. And, if Ep 3 is good and I do go see it, do I need the backstory from Ep 2?

I need the backstory from Ep 2?

There wasn't much story in Ep2.

Eep.

The school I interviewed at yesterday just called. They'd "like to go ahead with the second step," even though they have another interview scheduled on Friday. So, she wants me to e-mail her my references, and also, we set up a time for me to come hang out/get to meet the kids.

Sounds like you're going to get the job.

It's not subtle, it's not an actor's movie, but it's way, way cool. Seeing everything circle round to the first movies is very satisfying. Musical and visual cues from the first movie crop up all the time; it felt like a pat on the head for having been through the whole series of movies.

I heard people in my theatre mutter "Oh, no" at the one scene where you really realize that Anakin has left the building and Darth Vader is just waiting for his costume change. I'm honestly surprised Lucas went there.

We've known since Ep. 1 where Anakin ends up, but you still get the sense of tragedy.

My husband's family are all regular gamblers, and most of them work on the boats near KC. I have recommended the book, Bringing Down the House to my DH, which should be something he'd like (math! non-fiction!) but he won't read it because he doesn't like to hear the odds against winning.

DH is an actuary. Gambling actuaries are the stuff of comedy gold. But we know we're going to lose in the end. Our goals when we go to a casino are: 1. Lose as slowly as possible 2. Have as much fun as possible 3. Drink the free drinks as long as possible.

So glad to hear bt is doing better.(Also, wondering what it would be like to have a Home in that sense, and feeling bad that we never got to meet while sharing a continent, but that is all about me.) And, yeah, since we named our dog Betsy, I've been thinking it might be embarrassing to BHP someday, but we didn't know each other very well when we got our dog, so it took a while. I was really hoping she wouldn't do that while somebody was there, but hey, it is funny.

Hi-FREAKIN"-larious.

But we know we're going to lose in the end.

This is what my DH and his family can't admit. I know that my hubby knows this in his poker-loving heart, and normally I'd hate to be the one to take his dream of the Big Win away... but once he's lost about $100, I'm ready to drag him out of there with lectures on compound interest because that's money I could have banked in the house downpayment fund. Which, I guess, boils down to being willing to bust up his dream for mine. Hey! What do you know? I'm selfish!
