I saw it with my own eyes

I saw two things I'd like to tell about.
The third episode of Star Wars. Perhaps it has been the most discussed news topic last few days and I'd say it should be. Can't even think of the movie downsides. Couple of questions though: what the hell was he thinking and what kind of lame medicine is that? Actually questions like that only prove that the movie was a success. I gotta say it exceeded my expectations. Especially in how much drama has been brought to the whole saga. IMHO Lucas has set a new SciFi/fiction movie standard or level of complexity in other words. Everything made after episode III will be compared to it, until something really new like 3D movies will be out. I'm hinting on Terminator IV: will they be able to get as high?
Another thing I can't keep to myself is spam in blogs. I like reading what other people think is worth writing about. I like the idea of everyone bieng able to write and share thoughts in his/her own style and manner. And I don't like going through spam blogs with Google ads all over them. Is there any countermesures taken by Google? I've put their ads on this blog too having no illsusions about it. During the AdSense setup there was a disclaimer about spam content and how Google is strict on that. Are they really? Out of twenty blogs I went through yesterday at least half of them looked like complete ad junk to me. Was it just an unlucky day?
And for the record. We shifted to a night-time work schedule during last week. Yesterday we decided to see the movie today. Somehow Mike was able to fix the car and early in the morning we took off. At 9:40 it was almost empty in the movie theater and we bought best sits for ~3 bucks each. During the movie I completely forgot I wanted to sleep but kept thinking to myself about cold beer. After that we visited our friend and had lunch. Somebody forgot to take plastic wrap off the milk shaker so milk shake contained an extra ingridient. It was very hot on the road back home, which I don't remember 'cause I fell asleep on the shoulder of my friend's wife.
