I have successfully resisted going to see "Revenge of the Sith" (just doesn't have the same ring as "Return of the Jedi," no?) for its first weekend.
I've seen some good reviews. I've seen some not-so-good ones. The most important, however, came from a good friend, a ridiculous movie buff who also despised the first two movies. He reports -- as I suspected -- that as with the first two, the special effects ain't so special, the dialogue sucks and Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman are terrible actors. (Hayden Christensen as Darth fucking Vader? Who's stupid idea was that?)
So, I don't care if it made $158.5 million so far. None of it was mine.
My life, somewhat, as told by me, occasionally. Also: complaining. Lots of complaining.

- I'm a journalist in DC who covers Congress. My employer doesn't sanction or edit this blog and everything here is solely my opinion. Bottom line: you're not going to read any personal opinions about Congress, the President, the Supreme Court, lobbyists, my employer or its competitors. Kind of limits the material, I know.
