Just called the hospital. Shannon's taken a slight downturn. The CO2 levels in her blood are too high, so they're going to put her on a different ventilator (one called an oscillator) to see if that helps. They were fine before we left, so I'm hoping that it's just a minor setback and oscillator does the trick.

And we've now finally seen Episode III. It was much much better than I was expecting (and since I wasn't expecting anything except some Ewan-y goodness, it was a pleasant surprise). I noticed, too, that the Padme/Anakin scenes were painful (as warned), but whenever one of them acted against someone else, their own abilities were magnified. Now maybe that's just some wishful thinking or it's a result of others talent masking their own woodenness, but it was still very obvious.

Ooooo! I can't forget the trailers. One was for the Fantastic Four (I'm so worried it's going to suck and suck hard), another was for the Island (more Ewan-y goodness), and the last made me clap my hands like a little girl. I have now seen a trailer for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It looked really good. And come December, I'm going to see it on opening night if I can.

And one more thing...

I am not a nugget.

But you are an idiot for writing that.

I hope the oscillator helps.

I actually thought, weirdly, that the strongest scene in Episode III was between Anakin and Padme: the scene where he waits in the jedi chambers and she waits in their apartment, intercut with shots of the city and a really interesting bit of music that deviates from the main themes a bit by adding in some sort of middle-eastern style vocal elements.

Of course, the scene may have been strong because it's one of the only scenes involving either of them where they don't have any lines at all.
