Anakin turning into Darth Vader BETTER be some good shit, that's all

[Bouncy Ball]

I have to say.

I have tickets to see it tomorrow. That is ALL I care about. I've been waiting since freaking 1983 to see how he became Darth Vader (well, I haven't been THINKING about it ever since, that's just how long I've been waiting). I remember when I saw Luke take his weird helmet off I was SO freaked out. And I immediately wanted to know how he became that.....thing.

22 YEARS I've had to wait. And through two fairly shitty prequels, in my opinion. That shit better be good. Don't tell me if you've seen it.

[Beware the Beast Man]

1. It is, in a word- GORY.

I got so psyched the first time his breathing apparatus kicked into action.

3. Gory? Good.

But in your opinion (without giving out details) it was good, right? Satisfied your curiosity?

Because I don't put much faith in Henrick Anderson or whatever the name is of the kid playing Anakin.

Oh hey while I've got you here, too gory for a 10 year old?

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. Yes. It exceeded my expectations.

Especially since the last two were a disappointment. Of the six films, I would rank it third behind the first SW amd Empire.

I'd say he should be OK. The violence is pretty graphic, but tame compared to most of what's out there.

6. Wow, no way?

Better than Return of the Jedi?

Hmmm, I'm more excited now.

[Beware the Beast Man]

8. Way better than Jedi.

2. I just can't see Christian Hayden under the DV mask

It doesn't compute - he's too pretty.

7. I think that's what it is for me, too.

I always thought of the man who became DV as being sort of nerdy, thus he needed to become this big bad guy to compensate.

10. it's not pretty, believe me-- n/t

[Celeborn Skywalker]

4. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I saw it last night and it was much better than the previous two prequels. I think it did a fairly good job of showing the transformation.

9. teh StarWars geeks who attended the showing I saw burst into applause

and cheering when it happened. Does that help?

[Bouncy Ball]

11. Yes, it does, thank you.

Sounds like $14 well spent. Might have to spring for popcorn, too!
