Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
friday night we all got together to watch ‘return of the jedi’ at ben’s. it was good but jon was pretty disappointed by the special edition stuff that he had forgotten about (read: tuned out in horror). we were all pretty pissed when we saw that last shot of obi-wan and yoda. you know, the one where anakin appears and you’re all ‘awww, everything’s ok! he’s forgiven! he’s even wearing his jedi clothes.’ except that instead of sebastian shaw, the same dude as you see when luke pulls off vader’s mask (but in better shape), you see…hayden christensen with long hair.
wha?
first of all, sebastian must feel TOTALLY shafted that he was cut out of that scene. secondly…hayden christensen is not an old man. they did not even attempt to make him look like an old man, they just put a wig on him. wtf? i was reading ‘premiere‘ this weekend and they had an article about the 50 most disturbing moments in the history of film. jar jar came in at like #7. this craptastic star wars moment would’ve beat jar jar out, hands down. what is wrong with lucas? can’t he just leave his shit alone? i can understand going back and cleaning up some of the cg and adding in some more creatures and environments…but actually changing characters? WTF??!?!
anyway, post-jedi eric, jon, kate and i hung out at eric & jon’s and watched some late-night comedy central and cartoon network. saturday (and sunday…and a lot of other days this past week, come to think of it), i have been helping jon kill zombies and hunters in ‘resident evil – code: veronica x‘ by being scared and excited and cheering and saying ‘watch out!’ and stuff. also i get to read hints aloud! it is awesome! it’s like being a part of a movie. i watched the ‘enterprise‘ premiere, which ben was kind enough to tape for me…and it was…weird. but good.
