the end of the beginning which is the beginning of the end

watched SW3:ROTS today. Good visuals, as one might expect, but crummy dialogue. I mean, who writes the dialogue between mr and mrs vader? i won't ruin it for people who haven't seen it yet (why haven't you?) but it's a cringe-fest whenever mr vader talks to the missus.

the lightsabre scenes weren't as cool as SW2 though. maybe i just miss the spectacle of yoda with a lightsabre. he got his green ass kicked this time, though.

also looked at the Creative Zen 20Gb. the new one, sized somewhat halfway between the old zen/zen nx and the new zen touch. black or white, together with the same design as the zen touch, with 20Gb and 12h battery life. thought that the batt life was rather disappointing, as 12h did not improve at all on my existing zen nx, and 20Gb is the same. having said that, it does have built-in fm radio, voice recorder and Plug-and-play HDD capability, so will be looking out for it next week at the creative fair. at $449 during the creative fest, it looks like a steal. probably won't get it though, it's only about 20% smaller than my nx and the features are about the same. will await apple's 20gb ipod mini! now only if such a thing existed. steve jobs, over to you.
