Maurin House:

The new version of Maurin House is up and running. For now it's just Lady Maurin, but next week there will be the Janitor and Jesse the barmaid. Also expect a cameo of a guest.

I really had problems with this version. Mainly i was feeling really lazy, which in my terms means that work could be postponed from weeks. Also a few months ago I started a new course in business in which it will lead me to the degree in business. And finally my laptop issues which took me almost a month to fix.

But now I'm back! And i'm going to bust a few caps! (translation: try to upload art and animations more often)

Realisation:

I came to me a few weeks ago when i was talking with some friends of mine at a games club that, unlike many people in my country, made me realize what i truly am. For years i was trying to avoid being something i was.

I am a thinker, or as many like to call them, geeks.

I know it sound stupid, but i truly am. How do i know this? Simple really. Of the entire course i am currently in, I'm the only one who truly has some knowledge on actors, directors and films.

"But anyone can have knowledge about movies and books!" i hear you say. True, but from where i live and where the majority of you live the standards of geeks is very different.

"Haha" i hear some people say whilst flexing their muscles and showing off their girlfriend as if to state they are better. Ok, fine your physically better than me, but know this: whilst you act like a smartass, the top management will always contain geeks!

Movie rant:

Do you remember Star Wars, the original trilogy? Do you remember how great it was to see Mark Hamil as Luke Skywalker wielding a light saber against the slayer of his father Darth Vader only to find out that Darth Vader was in fact his father much to the shock and awe of the audience? Do you remember the great ending in which the redeemed Darth Vader appears alongside Yoda and Obi wan thanks to the power of the Force?

For me the Star Wars trilogy is and always shall be the greatest film series of all time. Which is why i have to argue about the awfulness of the prequel trilogy and its clone war spin-off.

Why did we need a trilogy in which we saw Anakin Skywalker become Darth Vader? In my image Darth Vader is a mysterious villain with an unknown past which made the revelation of him being Luke's father the more dramatic. The prequel trilogy made him less of a badass villain and more of a tragic soul.

I think that there enough rants about the awfulness of the prequel trilogy over the internet, so let me speak about the clone wars.

As anyone who saw the ending of the third, and possibly the only redeemable, movie Anakin became Darth Vader with his classic black armor. In the Clone Wars movie Anakin is still a jedi which really derails the plot for me. Why make a movie which is supposed to lead to the third film after you made the third film? Why introduce a character which has no importance in the 3rd movie when she has no importance to the plot let alone making any significant part in the rest of the series? Better yet, who cares what happened between episode 2 and 3?

Seriously, Clone Wars is perhaps one of the worst Star Wars spin-off, seconded only by the dreaded Star Wars Holiday special. Clone Wars is pretty much just padding for the inevitable end of the saga.
