divine angst

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.
