Now, Dog-Sitting is important too. Especially when there's gingerbread being made because......... well I can't think of ANY reason it would be necessary but, Gus said it was so.... he's probably taking a nap. Shhhhh. Don't wake him up. He gets very  >:( when you do.

...huh, I really thought I had added a note about it being Michael Giacchamo (or however he spells his name); thus "not enough riffs from John Williams".

He's an heir apparent to Williams, who can but usually doesn't mimic Williams very well -- and the best score I've heard from him, so far, follows that suit, namely the Medal of Honor game series, which sounds like absolutely classic John Williams.

When he's riffing the Mission Impossible themes he has done a good job, too. Less so in those films (the past three) when doing his own things. Nothing else he has ever done that I've listened to has impressed me at all.

Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.

you didnt make gingerbread? - you miserable bastard!

don't ask about the frosting.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Saw the movie yesterday and enjoyed it just like the rest of the Star Wars movies.  Certainly had a different "feel" to it which was perfectly fine for me and enjoyed seeing a different story line play out.  Think part of the different feel was certain things you have come to expect weren't in there (i.e. typical opening, a lot about Jedi/force, etc.) but I think it shows these subplots are still very interesting to watch.  Don't want to discuss too much yet so things aren't spoiled but was great to see the various cameo appearances by characters we do know (especially one in particular) and the ending was fairly predictable but doesn't take away from the movie at all.  Maybe my one critique is the first part of the movie was "jumpy" and tried to cram a lot of history in a short period of time, would have been nice to see that fleshed out a bit more, but then we would have had a 3 hour movie.

In the end, not sure where I rate it amongst the other Star War movies (to be honest I like them all for different reasons) and maybe its not even fair to compare it to the original story line.....last year I saw the Force Awakens (3) times in the movie theatre and then a couple of more times when released to DVD....although I may see this one again, I don't feel as compelled, maybe because we were waiting much longer for FA and the anticipation was much greater.

Either way, good movie and look forward to additional storylines (I believe young Han Solo is next)....seems like franchise is in good hands with Disney.

I for one would welcome a three hour Star Wars film.
