Clone Wars Marathon: April 9th and 10th

The Clone Wars, Cartoon Network’s animated micro series shown in five minute segments resumes on my birthday, March 29th. (How did they know? That was sweet of them!) Episodes 11-20 will debut, and then the Clone Wars will be shown in a marathon on April 9-10.

What’s more, this animated series will continue a tradition of sorts. The Star Wars Christmas Special on television introduced Boba Fett in an animated segment BEFORE he appeared in Empire, and now Clone Wars will introduce an Episode III Villain, General Grievous. Grievous is an alien cyborg and a Jedi-killer who will figure prominently in the final Star Wars film.

Review of The Passion of the Christ at www.spectator.org

This snippet of www.spectator.org ‘s review of the Gibson movie captures much of what I sympathize with in its overall general critique of the worst side of liberal culture:

“In truth, The Passion shows the divide between this country’s elites and commoners more starkly than anything I’ve seen in my lifetime. There is a real demographic difference between those who form the U.S.’s cognitive elite and everybody else. The elites, including journalists, tend overwhelmingly to be secular — non-churchgoers with little previous experience with organized religion. The rabble, on the other hand, consistently score at the top or near the top in every index of religious observance. In matters religious, the two literally do not speak the same language. If most journalists didn’t focus on the anti-Semitism angle, they wouldn’t know what else to say.

Which is a shame because they appear to be missing out on a genuine cultural phenomenon. Shea describes the excitement and the furor surrounding The Passion’s release as a “rather remarkable moment in American culture” — this critic’s nomination for understatement of the year. “

I do not hate the LOTR film trilogy…

… only The Two Towers (aka 2 Lord 2 Rings), and Return of the King (aka garbage). The first movie is an absolute marvel. And come to think of it, it’s incorrect to say that I hate those second two, when it’s so obvious that it’s they who hate me.

And the Legolas joke was just one I was repeating from the guys at PointlessWasteofTime.com, so there. Besides, don’t shoot the messenger.

Y’all need to stop trying to provoke me, is what I’m saying.

Don’t hate the playa, hate the game.
