Floored

Busy weekend. Saw Star Wars 3 on Friday night in digital projection. It really makes a big difference. Trying to say this in a non-spoiler way, but things could have been so different if just Sam Jackson would just let Anikin just tag along — or to put it in another way, Anikin just has no business pulling off a temper tantrum. In any case, the special effects were just wonderful. In the light saber battles, the digital camera’s light beams would make their glows extend into the audience. Wow!

Meanwhile back at the ranch, we were refinishing the wood floor of my apartment. The previous tenant spilt latex paint all over the floor, and back in 1999, there was no tech that could remove it. Today, several companies sell products that can soften latex paint, which work really well after scrubbing. After the floors were cleaned off, a polyurothane product called Renewal really improved the sorry condition of the floor into a rich reddish brown. Really amazing!

I’ve read somewhere that whiney Anakin Skywalker (dating back to his adolescent stupidity of Star Wars II) is only demonstrating a family trait, as Luke Skywalker was also a whiney sort (until his newfound maturity in Star Wars VI – got to credit Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda for smacking it into Luke even if they couldn’t do it to Anakin)…
