Back to the Dark Ages

Got dragged to watch the Star Wars the other day, such a waste of time - I feel better washing dishes for 2 and half hours.

In a country where Yoga is cool and Buddhism is spiritual, you kind of figured what people would do for such a long series of movies (yes, I just said it, it is too long, too much). It is simply a one-page, 5-minute story streched into a decades-long third-rated plastic cartoon, where pigs fly, elephants work in the government (...) and top guns flight with AA battery powered light bulbs - they call it "light sabre", a kitchen knife would have been far more leathal for advanced space age when people dress like homeless in Chinese Tang Dynasty (only a little more than 1000 years ago, about 4 times the age of America). Don't they just love retro? This trend has been noticed ever since the Matrix. People in the future just so dig the style.

I guessed (using the word guess here is almost an insult to myself) then entire "story" within the first 2 minutes. The rest of the time is just for ticking the boxes and checking the time.

Suck you must, if you like to speak backwards like a mystic, 320-year old some "lord" without underware, read this:

siht daer `erawrednu tuohtiw "drol" emos dlo raey-023 `citsym a ekil sdrawkcab kaeps ot ekil uoy fi `tsum uoy kcus.

Forget about Si-Fi. All you can do is reality TV, eating worms, 3-some, breast surgery, pimping $50 cars, UFOs, police chasing pickups and rap. Or do you have films, where I couldn't help thinking about LAPD talking to an illegal immigrant from eastern-Europe while watching this Star Wars thing... I also remember seeing Chinese villagers speaking Japanese in American movies as well. And there was one film where a bounch of Chinese policemen in a car chase with an American businessman in a Chinese city - remember, Chinese cops do not drive at all. Marked police cars are driven by chauffeurs used to send in-laws home, not out-laws to the station.
