Imperial Morons and the millennium Flipflops


No, this is not the next Harry Potter. This is me getting pissed and letting all of the world read it.
I'm sure all of you have at least once encountered people who were SO flaky, SO shallow, that you just couldn't stand to be around them. Ones that were like weathervanes, blowin' in the wind...which is not the answer. I just can't believe them sometimes, it's so obvious.
So on to the point. I guess since I saw "Episode IV: A New Hope" (that was the first Star Wars film made), I have always felt sort of a geeky affinity for the movies. Yes, the special effects are laughable, but laughing at them is one of the best things about the films. Yes, the script has always been rather incoherent--and yet you have to love Han Solo's one-liners. So I like them. And I have friends that love them to death, those wonderfully funky space movies.
BUT.
Before "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" hit the theatres, if you wanted to talk about them with pals or hum the immortal duh-duh-duh-Duh-DUHHHH melody in the halls, you had take precautions. You had to lower your voice to avoid being caught doing something that was supposedly "nerdy." That's not saying I did, and that's not saying my friends and I didn't get a whole ton of crap from other jocks for liking Star Wars. But honestly, it was like being in a church and yelling, "God damn it, where's my sweater?" People would look at you funny as if you were some kind of Martian.
Now, things are different. Ever since the renowned Episode III (which I liked) was released, all those jocks and preppie girls who laughed at us are now freely wandering through the school, yelling the Imperial March tune at the top of their lungs. It's a welcome trend to quote "The Empire Strikes Back" with affection. Now that Anikin has curly hair and the CGI bounty hunters are more realistic Star Wars is the most happenin' thing. And guess what? Everyone's pretending that they liked them all along--those wonderfully funky space movies.

Thanks for all the morons,
Ahaneen

p.s. Go to Google and look up "Grocery Store Wars" to see a great parody of "Episode IV: A New Hope."
