Firstly, I want you to watch Redlettermedia’s review of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Let it be your break from Chatroulette and the the Twitter community’s Around-the-Clock Justin Bieber Girlfriend Watch.

It’s exactly the same as the first one. Just a systemic 70 minute review, destroying the movie scene by scene. I love this guy because he always finds new things to talk about. It’s not 70 minutes of “BOOO!!! THE ACTING IS LAME AND I HATE JAR JAR!!!” The stuff about lightsabers (I think it was in part eight) was quite thought provoking.

This video caused a minor upset at Youtube when some jackoff flagged it for copyrighted content, and Youtube took it down for a few days. Screwed up his Digg links and everything. By the way, here’s a sample comment from the video:

“U people are? the ignorant ones the original trilogy is poorly written bullshit ther as intereesting as a textbook u complain how bad the prequels r well I’d like to see u make a film trilogy. And see how it cums out I bet u paid money to see these movies so who’s the real fool Lucas or u who he’s made money off morons”

People on Youtube aren’t very smart. I know that’s a controversial stance to take, but it’s my opinion and goddamn if I won’t stand by it.

But mainly I wanted to resume discussion about my dad’s medical condition (see two posts down). He’s come out of hospital and he didn’t die. Whether the entire exercise was worth it remains to be seen.

He was treated shittily as per usual. He has a huge pressure sore above his right hip (from lying on a bump in his hospital bed, I guess), and his foot is looking awful. It actually turned bluish green. Now he has a huge spreading sore on his right foot. It’s covered over with skin, but if you brush it the skin will peel back easily. Things are rotten in the state of Denmark.

Anyhow, they got out a kidney stone, so I guess that’s one thing they did right. In the end he got tired of being shuttled from ward to ward by overworked and ill-equipped staff, and discharged himself. He looks very thin and tired. He weighs maybe five kilos less.

He still isn’t takings steps to improve his lifestyle. He eats, but only red meat and carbs. If you asked when he last ate a vegetable I couldn’t fucking tell you. Still, maybe things will turn out all right.
