quite obviously, i've gone out and watched STAR WARS EPISODE III: Revenge of the Sith. i got out of the house at 8.30 in the evening, and went to robinson's place lipa to wait for a friend who promised to treat me out for a movie. what better movie to watch free than star wars, right? LOL
anyway, i was there waiting for him for thirty minutes, puffing a few phillips, and he arrives two minutes before the ticket booth closed! talk about a close call.
we went into the theatre house, sat, and he took out two small packets of junk food. we started eating while we periodically glanced at the screen that showed trailers of upcoming movies (by the way, the FANTASTIC FOUR trailer looked okay; it's something to look forward to as well. the BATMAN BEGINS trailer was okay; felt like it's been ages since i've been seeing it. when would they actually show the flick? LOL).
anyway, the film starts and i was really attentive (as i have for the PHANTOM MENACE, and ATTACK OF THE CLONES), but then my dawg started acting all sleepy. i asked him what was the matter, and he said he suddenly got a headache.
(great movie + bored friend/companion = unsatisfactory viewing)
visually, i enjoyed all the CGIs. they were eye candy for me. like the time i saw EPISODE I (which i saw by sneaking out of research class way back in college) and EPISODE II (which i saw by sneaking out from a class i taught LOL). sadly though, although i had the same gusto to see the movie this time around, in all honesty, i was kinda distracted by the fact that my companion was fidgeting around his chair, and at one point, fell asleep. although i clapped at the end of the movie, i would have enjoyed it even more if my friend shared the same enthusiasm that i had while i saw the film.
Don't you wanna go for a ride
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life
Now don't you take it for granted
Life is like a mean machine
It made a mess outta me
It left me caught between
Like an angry dream I was stranded
And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake
And I don't know how much more I can take
This is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now you feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks
Don't you wanna go for a ride
Down to the other side
Feels so good you could cry
Now won't you do what I told you
I remember when you used to be shy
Yeah, once we were so fine
You and I why you gotta make it so hard on me
And I'm sorry but it's not a mistake
And I'm running but you're getting away
You're not the best thing that I knew
Never was never cared too much
For all this hanging around
It's just the same thing all the time
Never get what I want
Never get too close to the end of the line
You're just the same thing that I knew back before the time
When I was only for you

the film explained a lot of things to me.
it also reminded me a lot of things about the previous episodes that i've seen: NEW HOPE, EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and RETURN OF THE JEDI - the old episodes i saw as a kid growing up under the tutelage of the force.
it was, at a point, nostalgic of a lot of things to me.
the movie was okay. the opportunity to watch it wasn't that great.
but don't get me wrong. it's not like i'm ungrateful.
i'm here. hey.
(PS: my unlimited text expires tonight. i might lay low for a while. kinda out of work until classes kick in by june. till i load up again, bye.)
