Revenge of the Sith - no spoiler review

I really wasn't sure. I was so disappointed in I & II, I was actually going to wait for DVD on this one. Then the reviews started coming in - people I tend to trust at first and then nearly everyone else.

It doesn't suck.

In fact, it's pretty damn good.

I actually *cared* what happened to these people - even though I already knew what happened to these people. In places it was a little like why I like Smallville - you *know* the outcome, but there are all these little spots where you can see how things could've been different. Therein lies the tragedy.

And yes, Lucas actually did manage to make his Greek Tragedy. I felt sorry for pretty much everyone by the end. I nearly cried several times (NOT something I usually do in movies!).
I might even see it again in the theater. ;-)

Well, here I am...

So, another blog... thanks Alicia! ;-P

I'm so grooving on Radio Paradise today (www.radioparadise.com). They're playing Joe Strummer right now & they played some Devo & before that they played one of my favorite XTC songs, "Summer's Cauldron":

Drowning here in Summer's Cauldron
Under mats of flower lava
Please don't pull me out this is how I would want to go
Breathing in the boiling butter
Fruit of sweating golden inca
Please don't heed my shout I'm relax in the undertow

When Miss Moon lays down
And Sir Sun stands up
Me I'm found floating round and round
Like a bug in brandy
In this big bronze cup
Drowning here in Summer's Cauldron

Trees are dancing drunk with nectar
Grass is waving underwater
Please don't pull me out this is how I would want to go
Insect bomber Buddhist droning
Copper chord of August's organ
Please don't heed my shout I'm relax in the undertow

When Miss Moon lays downin her hilltop bed
And Sir Sun stands upraise his regal head
Me I'm found floating round and round
Like a bug in brandy
In this big bronze cup
Drowning here in Summer's Cauldron

From the Skylarking album - a wonderful piece of glorious English pop with bits of psychedelia, jazz, Beatles, and folk.
