Free movie of the week was Star Wars III. It was the first time I'd seen it, and I'd have to agree it's the best of the first three. The story did better than I thought at connecting II and IV, although I note the stuff that everyone else rants about are still there, but I won't go into those. On the technical side I had mixed feelings. It seems in some cases they assumed poor quality sound systems on their mixing (the background noise sounds like it has an inverse noise gate off the dialog but with excessive padding). Then there's stuff that just seems to be left hanging at an odd spot rather than a smooth transition. Then there's the attention to detail on stuff like the holograms having high frequencies that sound like a flyback transformer (the ~15kHz whine of traditional TVs). Oh well, can't have it all. The Yoda thing is funny though.

Today was week 2 of Firefly theater. It was good, although Subway toasted my sub without asking me which wasn't so great. I guess it could have been worse. Scheduling has been iffy so far on this. If you want to show up (and are in the area), I think people would be open to moving it around as necessary.
