Anakin is cute enough, Hair, but his personality should have sent any sane woman running far, far away. I had trouble accepting that she fell for him too--it made her look really, really stupid, IMO.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Dan. I hope you get to see it on a bigger screen. I will probably try to catch it at the Cinerama because I heard they had Digital Projection capabilities--would like to see what the difference is.

Ewan and Christopher were terrific, weren't they?

Good day all! Back from church - long way to go but we had an excellent sermon on the wisdom of God. Now on briefly before we start the massive cleaning...

Penny I agree with you about Star Wars. Anakin's a dope, no self-respecting woman should put up with him. McGregor and Lee were the best part of that movie. Ewan seemed very good in the role of Kenobi and of course Christopher's a great actor. It's no LotR but hey, it's decent for what it is.

The ONLY things I can say on the other hand are (A) unfortunately, smart women do on occasion do stupid things in love which they regret for the rest of their lives; and (B) my wife's point, that one thing for him in her eyes might be that she doesn't intimidate him. Strong women get that a lot. (She agrees in being appalled at the matchup; she was just batting it around with me.)

I like the Padme character better and better though, which is what gives this growing sense of dread for what will come of the decision she made. And that's the mark of a story that at least that far is working for me: it has me involved and, to some degree, caring.

We're going to a larger screen, better sound, this afternoon!
