I still think the new Star Wars looks promising. I could uber rant here...but I won't. You all know my feelings on what I still predict will be a creative disaster. It will make gobs of money, but the quality will be garbage in the end for so many reasons, among them the likely death of Han Solo, because that's the only they could get Ford to reprise the role since he always thought Han should have died in RotJ. If I'm wrong...then I'll be wrong, but Abrams has a track record of being a crappy director and writer. The world''s jobbers can praise him all they want, but everyone knows he sucks.

Was just interviewed for my local news regarding Youmacon.
Didn't expect THAT.

Besides a few gripes, I enjoyed the crap out of the Force Awakens.

Besides a few gripes, I enjoyed the crap out of the Force Awakens. I'm not going to go into full on rant on this movie right away. I'm not that much of an ass. I'm going to let it all sink in, just like with Phantom Menace, and eventually the truth will come to light of the poor quality the more people think about it. All I will say is that I feel somewhat vindicated, imo, that JJ Abrams is an unoriginal hack with zero creative talent, because all he did was give everyone a repackaged New Hope + Empire to make the masses feel all warm and cozy...but with really nothing new. Everyone is basking in the nostaligia without realizing the flimzy structure they've been handed. In the end, I will continue to believe this was not a fair trade for 20+ years of orginal content the EU birthed from characters to events.

I'm not a hardcore Star Wars fan. I've seen each movie a grand total of "once" with the exception of the original, which I saw two or three times (once at age five, once in the theater when they remastered it, and I think there was another time but I don't remember).
So my assessment was mostly:
Fun movie. I liked the new characters. The script writers cribbed a lot off original trilogy stuff, but that's okay, because it was fun.
And I did not groan at BB-8, who I thought was going to be an annoying sidekick character like Jar-Jar.

It's nice to see there's a blizzard that's NOT hitting Michigan for once.

I'm not sure how everyone else's living conditions are, but... Our apartment building just received two new tenants. =< I don't know how to feel about this.

Awww, that's adorable.
We're getting some grass around here but still have lots of snow. However, I did see my first mourning dove of the year today while taking a walk.

(Reads latest Fairy Tail.) Sigh. (Pours a 40 to his brother.) That's gonna teach me to read your random thoughts before I read my manga for the day. Still...no body...no death...always a chance...FT has done it before.
