Canthros has found a new home. He told me that it’s a temporary arrangement, but I changed my PHP version for him anyway. ;)

Just saw (most of) this last night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Even the re-written parts. I, for one, think it’s appropriate that the story turned from sardonic to optimistic at about the same time that DNA moved from England to Santa Barbara. :)

I did miss a bit of the middle, which caused me to lose some of the plot. The theater’s sound started going crazy (I’m DTS! No, Stereo! No, DTS! No, Mono! No, DTS! No, Nothing! No, no, no, no, ha! Ha ha! Ha ha hahahahaha!), and after it didn’t sort itself in 10 minutes or so, I realized that all this 30 screener’s staff were probably tied up in crowd control around the 10 screens that were showing Star Wars. So I had a bit of a hike, and in another 10 minutes they had it fixed. So I missed a bit… :(

I decided that, since we were there on K’s free movie vouchers from her DSL company, and since the theater staff were probably already going nuts with the Star Wars Hordes, and since I enjoyed the film so much regardless, and since K’s already agreed that we will own the DVD ASAP[1], I’d simply thank them at the customer service counter for fixing the sound in Theater 13, instead of requesting more vouchers to see it again.

I’m going to refrain from more movie discussion at this point, just in case some of you are even more inefficient than myself and haven’t seen it yet. (Although there is more that I would like to say.

Today, we attempt to see Star Wars. Yay for Movie Weekend!

[1] There are some things I’d like to know, which are likely to come out in producer commentary, mostly involving whether some of the optimistic bits were written in by DNA, or after his death. I’m seriously hoping that he wrote them in himself — not because I will retract my favor otherwise, but because I’d hope that he got around to feeling just that optimistic himself.

Wow! A long-form, almost-English review of this cool toy. Sadly, the review falls into the myrid traps of lame humor-via-condescension and topical wanderlust, but it certainly answered all my questions.
