Sith and stuff

[altariel]

I went to see Revenge of the Sith again last night, in the company of the wondrous glitterboy1, and I enjoyed it again immensely - substantially because I no longer had to concentrate at all on the dialogue to follow the plot, so it was just one great big epic and beautiful tragedy unfolding in front of me. Smashing.

Earlier in the day, this fair city delivered up the goods as I was taking back my library books, with an insanely clear blue sky, lots of punts on the river, and some students showing off rehearsing a play in one of the gardens. It is also exam season, which means you get to overhear bits of conversation like, "So long as haemorrhage comes up I'll be all right." That's the spirit.

Smashing.

Yay!

It is also exam season

So uncharacteristically well-maintained the lawns are.

More than Empire like it I do.

You make me rather envious.

My hayfever was making me sneeze a lot, to make it sound less deliriously blissful!

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who's making "Bad Woolf" jokes. :)

;-) And I didn't even think of Virginia until ages after I thought of Heinz.

You completely win at multi-layered awful puns. :-)

I enjoyed the film enormously - thank you!

And thank you for your company last night :-)

I saw Episode IV in 1978, when I was 6 years old, and was as transfixed as just about everyone else of my generation. I didn't see Empire in the cinema, but I did see (and loved) Jedi.

Oh yes, I've seen it loads of times since. But it never became a massive favourite in the way it did for many of my contemporaries, who saw it in the cinema. Possibly not seeing it at the time is why I never became a huge SW fan in the same way I became a B7 fan.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

That's what the end of B7 did to me.

Oh, it sounds glorious!!

It's been beautiful here the past day or two.

*Nods* Beautiful movie. If only it hadn't been for that pesky dialogue.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I definitely prefer the dialogue in this.

[crossbow1.livejournal.com]

I'm working on one of those two, although I like to get mine down to one line per scene or less.

[crossbow1.livejournal.com]

Well, I couldn't match the genius of that one, but at least mine is good and short...

"So long as haemorrhage comes up I'll be all right."

By some strange coincidence, I have been spared hearing that sort of thing. So far. Which is particularly unlikely when you consider that I'm working in an anatomy department, where lecturing has just ceased to allow for examining, and I frequently pass students in the corridors.

btw, do they ever stop getting younger?

No, damn their eyes.
