I was gone for a while, but I'm back now. Spent Thanksgiving up on the mountain. Did some training. Worked on issue 2 of A-DAY PLUS. Ate some turkey. Finally saw BIG HERO 6. Dealt with one of the loinspawn getting sick. I stayed pretty unplugged from things as I was sick of hearing about Ferguson and people just being completely stupid about it, especially the pricks in the media fanning the flames for ratings.
Upon returning, I discover that there a trailer for the impending STAR WARS movie that's been put forth. There people that are really excited. There's people who are saying things about a lightsaber. Some folks seem concerned about a black Stormtrooper, and I think the main cause for concern is that they can't refer to him as an "African-American Stormtrooper" as Africa did not exist long ago in a galaxy far, far away, and their little PC brains are melting over it.
I haven't watched the trailer. I thought about watching the trailer. I like STAR WARS. I've seen all the movies in the theaters. I remember back when I had cable and sometimes USA would run the trilogy on a Sunday afternoon, and upon discovering this that's pretty much the whole afternoon right there. Seriously, the only decision to be made after that is proper snack choices. So, I should be excited about this new trailer, right?
I just can't do it.
I can't muster up any more excitement for anything STAR WARS anymore. I had some excitement for the prequels being released. For my excitement I was given Jar Jar Binks and some other miserable stuff. Sure, there were a few high points. Darth Maul was cool. Yoda kicking ass was awesome. And that third movie had... had... um... OK, the third one really sucked.
I really don't want to be that old codger who just sticks with the old movies that he loves and scoffs at the new ones, but I just can't muster up a single fuck to give about this new movie.
Have I become a bad nerd?
