Revenge of the Sith

This entry was posted in Culture Movies Science Fiction on by

We went to Star Wars: Episode III tonight and enjoyed it. Fie on all the folks who have been panning it and providing lengthy lists of how they could have done it better, etc., etc. The fact is that they didn’t. Perhaps their time will come down the road a bit. No links for them.
It was entertaining, provided plenty of fodder for discussion and left us ready to watch episodes IV-VI again soon!
NB: I was pretty certain it would be just fine when a I read Jaquandor’s discussion last week and suggest that you head right over there if you want to read the goods on this episode and the double trilogy.

Cats, Dogs, Spiders and ? every Friday.
We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals as I see them (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles).
Leave a comment or trackback to this post or email Modulator and we’ll add yours to the list. Check back regularly for updates throughout the day on Fridays and somewhat less frequently over the weekend.
Dog folks: remember to submit your links to the Carnival of the Dogs hosted by Mickey’s Musings.
Cat folks: remember to submit your links to the Carnival of the Cats which goes up every Sunday and will be hosted this week by Ripe Bananas.
And, check out Laurence’s fine graphical analysis of Friday Ark boardings.

Indonesia Illigitimacy

Indonesia demonstrates that, like most other modern governments, its laws, its government do not deserve the respect of its citizens or others around the world:

Accused Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby has been found guilty by an Indonesian court of importing marijuana into Bali.

Interfering with the consensual exchange of goods and services between individuals is not a legitimate governmental function.
In this case it looks like the victim might not even have been involved in the drug trade.
