I swear, I'm going to do an introduction post soon... >.> LOL. I'm just too tired atm *dies* But here's a little tidbit:

I always, absolutely always, cry in these movies:

Moulin Rouge! ("Why does my heart cry? Feelings, I can't fight. You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me, and please, believe me when I say... 'I love you'")
V For Vendetta ("I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish. Except one. An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.")
Love Actually (I cry at the freaking opening credits... >.> LOL “When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge- they were all messages of love”)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ("I want to see the lights leave your eyes!")
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King ("I am no man")
Big Fish At the end, where all his friends come to see him off when he's taken into the water *SOBS*
Peter Pan "I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES!! I DO! I DO!"
...and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

:| No, I am being completely serious about the last one.

So now I'm going to have a bit of a fan girl about Star Wars, because I'm watching it. I'm going to be making "In Kenobi We Trust" signatures for the H_E Hufflepuffs, so I was looking for some screencaps.

Okay. Here we go. Prepare for some mad explaining as to why I cry in Star Wars :D

When Chancellor Palpatine gives the order for the Storm Troopers to assassinate the Jedi? ZOMG *BAWLS EYES OUT* LOL. I guess it's mainly because I'm a Star Wars geek, and I freaking LOVE these Jedis.

When Ki-Adi Mundi turns around... and the look on his face as he realises... I mean... THE MAN HAS A HEART IN HIS FREAKING HEAD. How can you not just LOVE him?! And wow... the SOUND in this part... *dies* such beautiful sound design.

I don't really care about the Twi'lek because she's a shit actor and just there to look like a skanky ho, but the cinematography is brilliant.

And then it cuts to Yoda's stick falling from his hand, and him clutching his chest and falling to his knees... because he can feel the loss of the Jedi... OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG D':

AND ZOMG PLO KOON?! THE MAN LOOKS LIKE HIS HEAD IS INSIDE OUT AND HIS BRAIN GOT CANCER HAD A HAEMORRHAGE... But he's just SO EFFING AWESOME. Can't you just see him getting teased as an initiate? And him just spending hours training to be an awesome Jedi? DAWWWWW... I HATE IT WHEN HE DIES. IT'S SO EFFING SAD!!

And then... the most DEVASTATING part... when the Storm Troopers are going through the Jedi Temple, killing the initiates... and Anakin goes into the Council's chamber... and all the little younglings are there... and the tiny one comes out and says, "Master Skywalker, there are too many of them... what are we going to do?" and then it cuts to Darth Vader mustering the anger and hatred to kill them. And the final shot in the scene... the most brilliant part of it... you just see over the back of the arm of Darth Vader, looking at the younglings... and he extends his arm, and ignites his lightsaber... and the younglings FLINCH, but still have the most AMAZING combination of fear, confusion and hope on their faces ZOMG *BREAKS DOWN INTO TEARS* DDDDDDDDDDD:

But all through this whole part... John Williams, the absolute brilliant BASTARD has the saddest music you've EVER heard... and George actually does freaking awesomely in the DIRECTING of it too... When the camera has this full body shot of the Storm Troopers running after Ki-Adi Mundi and the shot pans down to their feet as they come to a stop... freaking WOW. THAT, is a brilliant shot, and a brilliant vision, George. Why they ever let you near the script, I'll never know, but you do have your moments when there's no dialogue. XD (although to your credit, Obi-Wan was INCREDIBLY pithy and awesome in this :D

And, can I just state the obvious here... how fucking amazing is Obi-Wan in this movie?! I mean, seriously. Anyone who likes Obi-Wan in this movie, should read the BOOK of the movie, because he's written so dry and awesome and zomg. I love him. AND NO. NOT JUST BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE EWAN McGREGOR... >.> (although I can't deny it makes me SUPREMELY physically attracted to him, lol). But seriously... he's the ONLY ONE apart from freaking YODA to survive. He kills one Sith Lord (Darth Maul), the precursor of Darth Vader (General Grievous) who had FOUR LIGHTSABERS and Sith TRAINING, he BASICALLY takes out another Sith (Darth Vader), rescues the girl AND helps deliver the babies. I mean. Wow. What CAN'T the man do?! (I mean, apart from kill his friend/son/brother - which, so far as flaws go, isn't the worst one to have, LOL)

"So this is how liberty dies... to thunderous applause..." - FINALLY a good Padme line!! ZOMG!!?! XD

And wow... Anakin vs. Obi-Wan. I- wow. I was SOBBING throughout the entire fight when I saw it for the first time, because I was seeing Anakin vs. Obi-Wan. And I had been looking forward to that for YEARS. The first thing was when John Williams came up with that theme... DUN dun dun dun DUN dun dun dun DUN dun dun dun dun dun dun... *collapses in chair* wow. AND THEN incorporated The Force theme, and Duel of the Fates and all those fantastic themes into the ONE FIGHT. There just are no words.

And when they're duelling on the walkway, and they grab each other's lightsaber hands, and hold them there, and the music goes "CLIMAX" and the lava goes "CLIMAX" and the heat goes "CLIMAX" and Ewan and Hayden to "CLI-" wait... >.> LMAO XDDDDD

Second, the actual Anakin vs. Obi-Wan fight... that part where their lightsabers are just going so fast that they're a blur, and they don't actually touch, and they draw on the Force and have that hand!porn battle and then go "BOOM!" backwards because of the sheer, raw power that they both have... 0.o ZOMG.

Sideous chucking Senate seats at Yoda and destroying it... wow... go symbolism much, George? LOL

And the acting... on Ewan's part... just all throughout that scene where Anakin is on the bank of lava... wow... "You were my brother, Anakin... I love you!" *bawls* No, seriously, I'm crying, watching this... lol. >.> Actually, his acting is pretty bloody awesome throughout. But especially after he walks down that ramp. "Let her go, Anakin. Let. Her. Go."

"Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil!"
"From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!"
"Well then you ARE LOST!"

"Don't make me kill you."
"Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic... to DEMOCRACY!"
"If you are not with me, then you are my enemy."
"Only a Sith, deals in absolutes."<3 ILU Obi-Wan :D

Wow. Obi-Wan is the Hufflepuffiest Hufflepuff that ever did Puff, man, seriously. XD

Mmm. So yes. All that makes me squee so much, I cry. ZOMG DV JUST HAD HIS FRANKENSTEIN MOMENT, LMFAO XDDDDD Ahem. ANYWAY. I'm always reminded of a quote from a review I read before I saw it in the cinemas that said something like, "I don't know whether the reason I was crying was because it was finally over, or whether it was JUST. THAT. GOOD." XD I so agree. Not that is will ever be over ;) :D

I also shouldn't watch debates about same-sex marriage/adoption. *shakes head* They make me so angry.

Also, ILU BOB BROWN <3

Wow. That... kinda probably took more energy than talking about myself... didn't it... >.> LOL. I'd rather fangirl/squee to be perfectly honest XD MUCH more interesting XD

AND NOW. A SCREENSHOT :D (taken a while ago - but I still have the same desktop and have had it for at least since 2005 ;) :D)


Kk. Bed now. I has work tomorrow <3 *hugs* Sorry about the squeefest XD

Peace,
Rotae
