Star Wars, redux

Saw Episode III for the second time tonight. (A double-date! Isn’t that cute?)

A few additional thoughts: the makeup on Palpatine/Sidious/the Emperor is not great. Looks pretty fake. I think I dislike Hayden Christenson’s acting so much because of the way his lip curls—he just has one of those faces that bothers me. As good as Ewan MacGregor’s acting is, he can’t overcome Lucas’s poor writing when he has to “discover” how Anakin has turned. Hayden Christenson in the Vader costume is just not as impressive as whoever was the original guy in the Vader costume.

OK. That’s all for second impressions tonight. Plus, I’ve had one rum-with-lime (erroneously calling itself a mojito, hah!) and one REALLY strong sangria margarita, so I’m in no condition to be deconstructing a movie for the SECOND time.

what the heck is wrong with me?

From Citations:

You are 42% Rational, 57% Extroverted, 14% Brutal, and 57% Arrogant.

As the Lord as my witness, I swear upon the good book that you are indeed the TELEVANGELIST! Characterized by extreme arrogance, self-assurance, and extroversion, you would make a very charismatic leader (or a very despotic one). On top of that, you are also more intuitive than rational, predisposing you to a more spiritual or emotional outlook on life. Thus, you are thoroughly irrational. You also tend to be rather gentle and considerate of others’ feelings. Clearly, you would make the perfect televangelist. Emotional, extroverted, arrogant, and gentle, you annoy the hell out of people who have to listen to the feel-good, intuitive shit spewing from your mouth. Not only that, but people may look down on you as a self-centered asshat. So while you are gentle and genuinely care about others, it is quite clear that you still care about yourself MORE. Why is your personality flawed? Because you are too damned extroverted, emotional, and arrogant. So preach your irrational message, brotha-man! I assure you, no one will be listening!

To put it less negatively:

  1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.
  2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.
  3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.
  4. You are more ARROGANT than humble.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Spiteful Loner.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hippie, the Starving Artist, and the Robot.
