let's argue about god guys [Dec. 25th, 2005|03:38 am]
As many of you know, I lack a belief in god. My reasoning is that there is no undeniable proof supporting god's existence. If I was to ask how one could obtain a belief in god, one of the typical responses of a theist would be "faith" (as I have received this response many times). But what is faith? Well, the most accepted definition of faith is to believe in something when there is no proof. Therefore, in order to believe in a god when proof is lacking, one must...believe in a god when proof is lacking. So the faith answer amounts to: "in order to believe in god, you have to believe in god." In other words, "faith" is just a postively-connotated way of saying "superstition."

Without killing each other, discuss.

[P.S. I was bored during the break, and undeleted my journal.]

[rock n roll |piebald - just a simple plan to keep you away]

i've decided that i am going to quit drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. and probably for the most unlikely reason that anyone would ever quit doing that: heartburn. the last few times i've drank beer [especially miller/bud/coors american-shit-beer] i've gotten god-awful heartburn, and smoking cigarettes while doing so only makes it worse. not to mention the fact that i cannot get drunk on beer anymore without shot-gunning/bonging it like mad. last night i had 7 beers and didn't even get buzzed. i just felt full and heart-burny. so no more beer and cigarettes.

just liquor and weed.

if anyone wants to go see revenge of the sith today at the carmike, i'm going tonight at 10pm. if you'd wanna get tickets i suggest going to get them soon [like noonish]. if they're all sold out today, i may go see it again tomorrow so you could totally go with me then. they're selling advance tickets at the mall now.

it's over... [May. 19th, 2005|11:57 am]
[i feel like |accomplished]
[rock n roll |maynard ferguson - star wars medley]

so i saw revenge of the sith last night.

the short version [believe it or not] of my review
[contains minor spoilers]

pros:
+ the opening space battle looked breathtaking and beautiful.
+ hayden's acting, while no where near amazing, was much better than the last installment
+ the fight scenes were action-packed and incredible
+ the wookies were pretty awesome
+ it was dark as fuck. moreso than even ESB.
+ the creation of vader's suit was fucking awesome
+ the birth of the twins was pretty cool
+ LOTS of tie-ins to the old trilogy, and it pretty much explains everything
+ the emperor was awesome. as soon as he was "revealed" he started acting all campy and movie-villainy just like in ROTJ!
+ palpatine's manipulation of anakin is very original and executed brilliantly
+ padme didn't talk as much
+ JAR JAR DIDN'T SAY ONE FUCKING WORD.
+ the droid humor isn't overdone like in episode 2 [just a good bit in the beginning and that's pretty much it]
+ anakin burning was a very powerful scene
+ lots of lightsabers!
+ lots of space ships!
+ lots of storm troopers!
+ lots of action!

cons:
- the padme/anakin scenes were pretty typical lucas-love-scene cheesiness [though i was expecting that]
- anakin falling to the dark side seemed a bit rushed, though it depends on how you look at the situation [i don't want to give away anything so i won't go in depth]
- the first scene with vader fully constructed was a bit cheesy. it wasn't terrible, but it could've been better.
- chewbacca's role was very minor
- the wookies/kashyyyk could've been in it more
- i wish kashyyyk was portrayed more like it is in the EU, in an area with lots of big trees rather than on a coast. [it's still pretty neat though]
- grievous didn't have as much screen time as i wanted [though he isn't really a huge character]

overall:
a fantastic, fun, action-packed, adventure, yet very dark and tragic. the best of the prequels by far. infact i'd place it tied with ESB as my favorite. while it lacks a lot of the charm and realism of the originals, it has other factors that completely outweigh to it's favor in comparison. the emotional aspects [aside from cheesy love-scenes] are incredible, and are portrayed much more heavily and dramatic than any other star wars film. the opening space battle is the biggest and best-looking of all 6 films. the light-saber fights are incredible.

if you're like me and in the minority [aka "nerds"] who actually like the prequels, you'll love this movie. if you hated the other two, you'll definately like this one more but there's a chance you still may not like it. i'm seeing it again today, and i will give a much more extensive review [w/spoilers!]

suggestion: if you go see it, don't expect it to be perfect. don't expect hayden or natalie to be oscar nominees. just expect it to be a good star wars movie, because that's what it is.

OMG OMG OMG.


you would not BELIEVE what i had to do to get star wars tickets today.
kyle, mike, and i on a NINE HOUR ADVENTURE )

and now for something completely different...

to commemorate the birth of darth vader, i have made a video containing 1) a clip from ROTJ, and 2) music by REM. jarrod curry discovered this one night when we were watching movies and playing music along with it. it has some very coincidental things that go along with the music, and is very hilarious, while at the same time kinda sad.

click here to download

for those of you who got tickets, enjoy the movie. for those of you who didn't, there's still hope! see it tomorrow. or the next day. or saturday. or sunday. or something.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!
