No DVD reviews. No Halo news. No Harry Potter set reports. BIG Geography project (that bitch is ALWAYS giving us projects). G2G. Hopefully I'll review a DVD by Friday afternoon.

STAR WARS ORIGINAL TRILOGY DVDS ARE OUT!
Over the next few days, I'll be covering all of the four DVDs. First, it's:
Picture Quality: 5/5 - Great digital cleanup. You never see any static or fuzziness. Excellent!
Quality of Film Itself: 4/5 - Gets kinda boring midway, but hang in there... the last few scenes are the best.
Effects: 5/5 - They didn't need to change too many of the effects. They're great. There's an excellent shot of a Bantha herd right before the sail barge scene. Wasn't even in the Special Edition.
Finale: 3/5 - The new Hayden Christensen addition at the end sucks. The Ewok celebration never really floated my boat. Otherwise, pretty cool. I like the views you get of the Tattoine celebration.
Sound Quality: 4/5 - Every now and then it gets a little fuzzy, but you never hear any static, which is a plus.
Images:
Hayden Christensen replaces Sebastion Shaw at the Ewok celebration
Leia in her slave outfit, now much clearer thanks to digital cleanup
I know this isn't ROTJ (its ANH), but the view is amazing and the Tattoine celebration view is similar
In other news...
I have completed the scripts for Secret Agents 2 and Oregon Vortex. I'm not so happy with Oregon Vortex, so I'll do a second draft on that one. Secret Agents 3 and 4 are now being written and I expect them to be done by December at the latest. I know I haven't revealed much about the plots of any of these, but that won't remain true for long. You'll get a sneak peak at the Secret Agents script once I type it (I write scripts in longhand, then type them so the actor's can read the scripts... I have terrible handwriting).
Also, I have had the pleasure of reading a rough draft of the scene where Voldemort returns to power in GoF. Never got the final draft, sorry. All I'm gonna spill is that there's some new spooky dialouge that's not in the book. And it's gonna rock more than all the Star Wars saber battles combined.
A final picture:
Ciao, guys.
Shoutouts to Shaun and Basey and Meadeskeltonfan at IMDb!
News in Halo... well, I played some CTF on Derelict... it was pretty fun, I got the flag to my base once, and I kicked ass with the rocket launcher at one point. Did a pretty good melee at a running target too, I got him in the side and managed to kill him in one hit.
No other news. Life's been pretty normal lately. Next time I'll give you more DVD captures, and maybe even some Star Wars Episode III stuff!
And here's a paragraph joke: A blonde began a job as an elementary school counselor and she was eager to help. One day during recess she noticed a girl standing by herself on one side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other.
The blonde approached and asked if she was all right. The girl said she was. A little while later, however, Sandy noticed the girl was in the same spot, still by herself. Approaching again, Sandy offered, "Would you like me to be your friend?" The girl hesitated, then said, "Okay," looking at the woman suspiciously. Feeling she was making progress, the blonde then asked, "Why are you standing here all alone?" "Because," the little girl said with great exasperation, "I'm the goalie!"
Well, that's it for jokes. I have an inside joke for some friends at school: Jeremy.
OK, some Halo news: I've officially set up tryouts for my clan, [FR], on Halo Full Version almost every Saturday. It's a server called FRUCKA'S CLAN, and we play Slayer on Timberland and Blood Gulch. Most of the time, the rules are to kill me 10 times without Banshees. Sometimes, however, you all team up against me in Team Slayer and the total kills against me (30 kills) will get you ALL in.
My THIRD Strong Sad puppet is perfect and has not ripped. Learning my lesson the first two times, I put it in a frame and vow not to touch it.
Now... here's some photos of Kelly Brook, the hottest chick in the world!
Nothing else to talk about. Goodbye, guys.

School sucks.
School sucks.
School sucks.
Oh yeah... I almost forgot, school sucks!
I've gotta go do a cartography project... map out London! See y'all later.
In other news... well, there is none. I asked my crush out and she said no... shit... that's about it, man. Pretty darn boring day. Well, I got my Math homework done during recess... that's a first... goodbye, my mom's yelling at me to get to bed. I have only one more thing to say: GoF filming tomorrow! Get your first-person account here, at my blog!
DUNDUNDUN!
I F*CKING DIDN'T KILL ANYTHING! I was in Math class, and Andrew the prankster devises a great prank... he's gonna write, in big bad letters, SH*TPILE, on the board... so Juhas walks out, he takes his chance, and scribbles away. It turns out looking like Zhotpoll. So Juhas comes back in, freaks after realizing that what he sees is a disfigured SH*TPILE, and says, "STEPHEN, THIS BETTER HAVE NOT BEEN YOU!". We all sit completely blown away at the knowledge of this Stephen kid that is not in the classroom. Then Juhas smirks and says, "oops, I meant Andrew." Throughtout the rest of the day, we call Andrew Stephen... oh yeah, and he didn't get in trouble. In PE class, he steps on an ant... and he yells out "I F*CKING DIDN'T KILL ANYTHING! WHY ARE YOU SO SUSPICIOUS OF ME?". We all go, "Stephen, what's wrong?" and he's like, "I DIDN'T KILL THE ANT! WHY'D YOU SAY I DID, BECAUSE I DIDN'T!". Following the joke, I go, "YEAH, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!?!?!". Yeah, that was funny. THE END Battle Wound Yesterday, my friend Jack managed to peel off half his toe and he went to the emergency room. No joke. The kid's an idiot. On top of it all, he stepped on the bandaged toe purposely today, and it started gushing blood again! Amazing... I never thought someone could be stupider than a retard! THE END Yogi Ok, here's the scoop on PE: I signed up for Gym, and I get landed in (of all places) Yoga. No, you're not dyslexic, and if you are, then all I have to say is fedkbdlxgiad. Anyway... so did all of the Gym people, so it sucked dick. But I got to bruise my ass on a 10-pound dumbbell! And when we were "stretching" (more like breaking ourselves), I got to do it next to my crush. MY CRUSH! Life's good. THE END
In other news...
My second Strong Sad puppet got lost. Shoot.
I showcased my lightsaber at an art festival and get 10s from the judges.
Goblet of Fire filming goes as usual... I'm not there till it's over, I barely see Emma, and Rupert always leaves some marbles for me to trip on. Ok, that's not true, but the first two things were.
Bye guys. I'll post later.
"I didn't kill anything, I promise!" - Brody Lyles
"If these are your quizzies, I'd hate to see your testies. Wait, I didn't say that!" - Brody Lyles
"Barney shall die!" - Mr. Juhas
That's all. Just remember, ladies, to stay away from crazy Hogwarts students that ask to play with your cauldrons.
I bought a crudload of Blink182 albums and I'm jamming away. I'm getting better at the keyboards, and I'm doing GREAT on the Secret Agents 2 script.
Oregon Vortex is slacking. I can't figure out whether to kill someone off or not, and if I want to, I don't know how to yet.
My math quiz's bonus problem said "Barney took a ride on the space shuttle. While singing the "I Love You" song, he tripped on a banana peel and fell out the ship." Mwahaha, that man's funny.
A dude at my school named Wyatt claims to have the whole of a Japanese anime series following "Van Helsing". $20 says he's full of Bantha fodder (little Star Wars reference, sorry).
Byezers.
