Well, I just got back from seeing Attack of the Clones, and needless to say...the 8:30 PM show was actually my second viewing (I watched it opening day with one of my classmates). Haha!

So what did I think of the movie? It was cool! Sure, the acting is clunky in some parts, and Lucas can do better with some of the dialogue (maybe), but it still nevertheless was entertaining. Ewan McGregor's scenes as Obi-Wan were the best ones in the movie, while the romance scenes between Anakin and Padme were cringe-inducing up until they travel to Tatooine from Naboo to look for a person who will be pivotal in Anakin's rebirth as Darth Vader. The final battle was awesome (especially Yoda's lightsaber scene!!), and the clonetroopers look bad-ass. Can't wait till Episode III comes out in 2005!!!


Anyways, if I'm in the mood next week I'll post a recap of the Spring semester. So why is this semester so special? Because a girl in one of my film classes was able to take the place of Denise in my thoughts...

And YES, I am WELL aware that is something Anakin would've said to Padme in Episode II!

PARMAN'S JOKE OF THE DAY

A male and a female humpback whale were out swimming one day when the male spotted the whaleboat that killed his mother.

He said to the female, "Let's swim under the boat, put our backs against the hull and rock the boat, that will really frighten the sailors."

She agreed and off they went to scare the sailors.

Not satisfied with this the male then said, "If we swim below the ship and blow out our air we can sink the ship."

She reluctantly agreed and off they went to sink the ship.

With the boat sinking all the crew jumped into the water and were swimming for the shore.

The male then said, "We should go after those sailors and eat them."

"Now you just listen here." Said the female, "I went along with the humping, I even did the blow-job but there is just no way that I am going to swallow seamen."

PARMAN'S JOKE OF THE DAY #2

Q: What was Moby Dick's father's name?


























A: Papa Boner.

UPDATE: I got these crappy-ass jokes from an online message board, in case you guys are wondering.

I'm telling ya...Sam Jackson is Da Man.

The terrorists are gonna pay now...

The Lakers got robbed of a victory last night!!!!!!!

I ran into Denise a couple of minutes ago. Still can't get over her.

Last night, I saw a film called Replicant, which stars Jean Claude Van Damme as a serial killer in which a clone is made from him so that the clone could be used to predict the killer's next moves (he plays both the killer and the clone. Er, obviously).

I watched it in my Film Symposium class because the movie's scriptwriter was there for a Q&A session. The movie never made it to the theaters (if you saw the ending, you'd know why). It's too bad, cause Van Damme actually acted well in that one. And the clone hooks up with a fine hooker later in the film too.

Black Hawk Down didn't get nominated for Best Picture in the 74th annual Academy Awards?? BAH!!! Haha, just kidding...it didn't deserve a Best Picture nod. But how interesting that Lord of the Rings beat out Moulin Rouge, A Beautiful Mind, In The Bedroom and Gosford Park with 13 nominations. The last time a film almost swept the Oscars in terms of nominations was Titanic (14 nominations) back in 1998. Anyways... Unfortunately, I don't think Black Hawk Down will win any Academy Awards AT ALL...since the technical categories it was nominated in will most likely give the nod to Lord of the Rings. Oh well. And who DID watch Gosford Park?? That's what I'm wondering...

Let's hear it for the people of Philadelphia to be perfect buttholes. The NBA All-Star Game was held today, and the West defeated the East, 135-120, at the First Union Center. Michael Jordan was present, but his 8 points and missed breakaway dunk was second to Kobe Bryant's 31 points and his first All-Star MVP award. The other all-stars gave him props...but how did the fans of Philly congratulate him? With BOOS. Like how they boo Santa Claus, they booed Destiny's Child in last year's NBA Finals, and they booed Derek Fisher during yesterday's Hoop-It-Up contest that involved the Lakers, Sacramento Kings, the 76ers, and Houston Rockets. What a bunch of losers. They find booing to be fun and a trademark Philly gesture...but that is just plain LAME. Hopefully, STAPLES Center will play host to the All-Star Game sometime soon...so if Allen Iverson somehow wins the All-Star MVP award again, he can get a taste of what the denizens of Philly gave to Kobe today. Losers.

Let's hear it for the Dutch for not being tough OR having common sense. They were the only ones who didn't take part in the parade of nations during yesterday's opening ceremony in Salt Lake City. The Dutch said it was "too cold" to go out... DUH, that's why it's called the WINTER Olympics.

I'm glad to be an American.
