Today Allison and I went to see the 1:45 showing of Star Wars Episode III. Overall it was a good movie. It was visually amazing, but there was just so much to see that it was just not possible to see it all. It was awesome to see Wookies. The Wookie planet was very cool. I think that Lucas tied things up very nicely overall. However, I found Anakin to be so easily led that it was silly. I also found him to be a hypocrite. The downward spiral unraveled so quickly. It certainly was a tragedy of epic proportions and capped the trilogy and made a perfect segue for Episode IV. I liked the movie alot. I look forward to seeing all the movies when they are re-re-re-released on IMAX 3-D. I think that will be starting around 2007. Should be a good thing to see.
The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...
