Must be the season of the witch
Halloween came and went. We only had one group of Trick-or-Treaters, the neighbor kids. We got something like three bags of candy, just in case. We usually don't see a lot of traffic but you never know, right? Anyways, I'm not sure why we got so few. There really aren't that many kids in our neighborhood, I suppose. In retrospect, I probably should have set our outside light to 'always on' for that night rather than just 'motion activated' like normally. Maybe our end of the lot looked a little dark. Who knows?
Anyways, Halloween night we watched the first half of Gremlins, which I hadn't seen in a while. Still holds up nicely, I think. Hoop definitely has his Gizmo moments.
Got some new DVDs recently...Batman Begins, which is a great flick. The 'making of' thing on the 'Tumbler' (the new Batmobile) was pretty neat. This thing actually works and it can haul ass. Was amazing to see tooling around the streets of Chicago. Court picked up the Office Space giftset (with mousepad, notepad, pen, red swingline stapler, and some other stuff) and also Revenge of the Sith.
We watched the primary 'Making of' doc on disc 2 of RotS and it was pretty well made, I thought. It basically goes through the different departments that work on a movie and talked about how they contributed to the Anakin/Obi-Wan duel scene. It gave a real voice to the myriad of credits you always see on a movie that are of such length that they all just kinda run together.
Will probably watch RotS tonight...or at least some of the cooler scenes. Once in a while I just crank up the volume on the receiver and dial up a DVD that I know has a sequence where the sound and visuals are just amazing. I'll do the SuperBoots (it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a cat!) dealio to the beginning credits of Superman with the Superman fanfare music, or play the speeder bike chase from Return of the Jedi which has some AMAZING positional sound. Great stuff!

This is how bad I have become, I cried a little at the end when she died during birth. Man have I fallen. Best Star Wars movie since the Mark Hamilton ones.
I also purchased Battle Grounds II for PS2 and so far it seems a little bit better than the first one.
We only had two trick-or-treaters come, yet I only answered the door once because the first time I was dropping a deuce...McCallister. HAHAHAHA.
I think the Trick-or_treat aspect of Halloween is dead because you just don't know who lives in your area anymore. For example, we have some guy on Genesse, a block over, who is a registered child pornography distributor. For all those parents, you can find such information on your local county website.
It's so-called Star Wars fans like you that make me sick! Put down the crack pipe!! Mark Hamilton??? *laughs*
On that note, I'd like to congradulate the White Sox for winning the World Series, and great job by their manager, Ozzie Osborne. Great job Ozzie!!
That just goes to show that I'm not a Star Wars freak and could care less about your career since you made Corvette Summer.
