I just got back from the 12:01am showing of Star Wars Episode II. I liked it, better than Ep 1, though I'm not sure if it was my favorite. It was kind of like a chocolate Easter bunny - sweet, enjoyable, but also hollow. Let's face it, though, I was going to see a Star Wars movie not some great drama.
Warning: the following may contain what could be considered spoilers, so don't read if you don't want any interference with your own viewing experience.
Miscellaneous Thoughts: Lots of eye candy. Interesting setup for the third movie. Darker than I expected, especially Anakin and his actions. Not sure if Anakin's stiff acting was a function of Hayden Christiansen or if that was him acting how they expected Anakin would act (was the acting bad, or was he bad acting?). Jar Jar.... The Yoda fight was not as goofy as I had feared.
I like the concept that the Republic is what becomes the Empire, that the Sith are working the system to get the power they want so bad, and that in the next, Amidala and the rest must realize that *wait a second - WE are the bad guys!*
Reviews in the media have been fairly hard on the movie. Come on guys, it's Star Wars. Has there EVER been a Star Wars movie that got rave reviews?
If you like Star Wars, odds are you'll like Episode II. If you don't like Star Wars, odds are you won't see Episode II. So there you have it. |

So once again Gretchen's blog led me to something cool on the net. You five JasonCross.com readers should go thank her, as otherwise you'd have that much less to read here!
Anyway, from her site I went to the Colorgenics site, where based on colors you pick out they build a personality profile, and *man* it does seem oddly familiar. Not perfect, but closer than I'd have guessed.
You are feeling exhausted, worn out, drained. You feel that far too much is being asked of you but you still want to overcome these difficulties and establish yourself despite the effect such an effort seems to have on you. You are a proud person, assertive most of the time, but at this particular moment you are acting as if you have become resigned to the situation. What you need is some tender loving care - a gentle pat on the head (or maybe a 'kick-up-the backside') and then you'll be raring to go.
You are willing to try anything once. You 'need to be needed' and what is perhaps more important you 'need to need.' You can only feel close to a person or persons when you feel you can trust them, but this trust needs to be proven to you.
You have a high opinion of yourself. It is perhaps because of this self-centredness that you become exasperated when you feel that your needs are misinterpreted by those around you. When this happens - and it does quite often - you feel that there is no-one that can understand the way you feel and it is because of this egocentric self that you are quick to take offence.
You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.
You are trying to build up your own position and you resist all external influences. You insist that you are your own person and you will not tolerate any outside interference. Decisive and proud, you are true managerial material.
You need to be respected as an exceptional individual. This is the only way that you can hope to achieve the status that you wish to achieve. You set yourself very high standards - and come what may - you abide by them. |
