Faster! More intense!
I've awakened from my sickened slumber to take care of a few things. I decided at this late hour to do some blogin' that I haven't done in a while. Bear with me, I'm doing this half-blind, so typos abound!
1)Tax Day came and went. It wasn't enough that the mailbox to put my return in was busted/locked, but I had a hell of a time trying to get a stamp. Thankfully, there was this kind stranger who gave me one of theirs. I guess there are still some decent people out there. Not many, but some. Thanks again, stamp-giver!
2)Bar-Krawlin'. There was a bar crawl for one of the Dub Trub girls this week and I was along for the ride. Should a man in my advanced years trying to match a group of 20-something coeds shot for shot? Mmmm, wait a minute, what kind of ass question is that?! Take your lumps and suck it up, old man!
3)All Things Come to an End. I've been working on the final chapter of Dub Trub recently. It's been a lot more bittersweet than I had anticipated. I've been working with Red and Black for the last 3 years and it's been one hell of a ride. I'm going to miss Rex, Roka, Commander Jones and Special Agents Red and Black. Sure, I've got 6 chapters to complete before this end sees the light of day, but it's coming soon.
4)ACT DAMN IT! Episode 3 is just around the corner, and I've been doing a lot of thinking about that galaxy, far, far away. I've got this feeling that by the end of this summer, there will be a new favorite bad guy from the saga. I've gone on about General Grievous, but I think that it will be Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious. It just won't be from his mass kicking of Jedi ass. No, it's all because of the actor that breathes life into the two-timin' Senator from Naboo: Ian McDirmand. He is, in my opinion, the best actor in all of the SW films. Sure, there are a ton of fine actors that have graced the screen within Lucas' epic, but he's one of the few that gets what is really important to making it in these movies: overacting. You can't give understated method-acting when your backdrop is the highways and by-ways of the Old Republic. You've got to act at a grand scale of your surroundings so as not to get swallowed up by them. I'm afraid that most of the actors within the prequels are too concerned with over-doing it, looking like a fool. Shoot, how is that possible when you are acting against Jar Jar Binks? Oh, and as far as looking foolish, that ship had sailed the second you don the monk robes, got the porcupine with a rat tail haircut and whack at your fellow thespians with aluminum rods. Chew the scenery! This ain't Lost in Translation, it's frickin' Star Wars. Sheesh. Anyway, I for one welcome our new Sith Overlords. Go get 'em!
Okay so that's it for now. Back to the hibernation chamber and getting better.
