Revenge of The *Cheese*

WARNING: Contains a short excerpted quote from the movie "Star Wars: Return of the Sith." Please look away from the screen if you want the entire movie to be a surprise for you... or if you are a DIE-HARD Star Wars fan and will kill me for spoiling four lines from the movie for you.


Just watched Star Wars: Return of the Sith on opening day. (No, not at midnight... you freak). Overall, it was much better than Episode 1 or 2 in my opinion. However, the cheese was still there -- G. Lucas style. And the award for Best Cheese goes to the following exchange between Anakin and Padme. Either it's straight cheese, or I'm just biased that Natalie Portman is confessing her love for someone other than me... but I digress. Nevertheless, I think this particular movie critic I came across over the web, best reflects the heart and emotion of the audience as it played on...

Man: 'You're so beautiful.'
Woman: 'It's only because I'm so in love.'
Man: 'No, it's because I'm so in love with you.'
Me: 'Man oh man.'

Seriously now. How did this get past post-production? Maybe we have to assume the worst... that Lucasfilm's QA got axed and is now being outsourced to a foreign country. =(

1 Leo vs. 42 Oompa Loompas

Cambodia -- home to Phnom Penh, awesome temples/monasteries, and one-sided government-endorsed midget fight rings ... right? On April 30, 2005, forty-two midgets will fight against one African Lion for the finish. Who will win? Who will profit from death? Find out here...

VS
I like Johnny Depp, and we need cast-members for the oompa loompas for soon-to-be-released movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... so my bet is on the 42 midgets.

McDonalds. For Food and For Life...

In light of so many job changes in the tech industry, I came across an article that brings to light an unlikely, but interesting, alternative to your everyday cubicle. It says that ... "McDonald's was recognized as one of the Top 25 Best Companies to Work for in Latin America." O_o
Either McD's is paying really well in Latin America, or we Americans have our priorities all wacked while bashing the fash food industry as a career option. Forget Google or Yahoo!. I'm Lovin' It!

"Come poop with me!"

This is an old clip of "Triumph - The Insult Dog" from the Conan Late Show, at a Star Wars premiere. I thought that "Trekkies" from Star Trek couldn't be topped. Boy, I was wrong. Check out the ~10 minute video here! "I am Black wolf the Dragon Master!" hahahhaha hilarious.

google'ing friends

Yah yah... criticize it all you want, but sometimes the dirt that stirs up can be quite amusing. Take for instance, this one "California Girl" I google'd the other day. This would be none other than my good 'ol buddy of 7 years. =D

For all you non-believers out there...

A buddy of mine created a flash film to his website at www.shindig.net. (They run great volleyball tournaments for those of you in the Bay Area if you ever feel like playing btw.) If this clip doesn't inspire you to play the game that call my passion, (while others consider it my addiction... boo), I don't know what will! =D

Side note #1: Four of my friends made the video cut! (They are the four silly chinese characters in the three-frame clip.. =P)

Side note #2: Even I got a cameo on the website. Yee-haw! Let's play WHERE'S ANDY?
