Morning Reading

What is there to say when you can say anything? I can say that Randy went to play some soccer today but couldn't find the palce or was there at the wrong time, or who knows? What I do know is that those movie reviews are slow going. I have a movie review of an obscure little movie that you may or may not have heard of, its called The Empire Strikes Back. It is, possible the best movie ever. Its about a small band of Rebels fighting to free the galaxy from an evil empire. Its about a young warrior learing how to both quiet his mind to get in touch with the powerful forces of the universe and to use those forces to kick some Imperial ass. Its about how the impetuous nature of our youth can hurt the ones we love. And there's even a love story. What its NOT about is some bratty kid whose too weak to fight off the evil in himself, becomes a Frankenrobot, and thereby causes the downfall of a galactic republic, because that would make a crappy movie that you would never want to watch again no matter how many dope lightsaber fights it had. So in conclusion Empire Strikes Back: 6 Stars. Why 6 stars in a 5 star system? Because Empire is a way better movie than Mean Girls.
What else?
I can't think of anything.
Oh Yeah...
This coming weekend. Its gonna be nerdfest. At the Nuart in Santa Monica on Friday night they are showing Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn on Saturday night at the Rialto in So. Pas. they are showing Tron. Can you believe it? Friggin' Tron! This is my plan... I'm going to drive by both theatres before the movie in some sort of disguise and yell "NEEERRRRDS!" out my car window, then go park my car, ditch the disguise and get in line. Ahhh, who am I kiddin, I'll probably be the first one in line.
I wonder if Star Trek fans get all excited like Star Wars fans in the theatre. I know when Shatner's face gets all red and shaky and he yells "KAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHN!" I'm bursting out in applause.
I guess thats it for now, I've given Jeff enough cannon fodder. But I will blog again.

Tron? I'm so there. Randy, you are a sellout. We even went to happy hour afterwards with the hot chicks and one of them said "If there was a guy here that has been in Alaska sometime in the last month and is currently unemployed I would totally do him tonight." Unfortunately, you weren't there to step up.
