Down With the Sickness

In case you weren't sure... being sick sucks. Yes, oh yes it does. I'm finally starting to feel better after 2 days of shitty. Probably the flu, but I'm heading to the Dr. today just to be sure.

It's funny though, when you at home curled under a blanket on your couch all day, you start to think of all sorts of weird things.

- I want to preface this by saying I loved Signs, but some things don't make sense. The beings have mastered interplanetary travel and such, but they can't figure out how to open a friggin door? Also, instead of trying to break into the basement, why didn't 3 or 4 of them just start unloading their gas into that small enclosed space and call it a day?

- Why is it that a superhero can kick the ever lovin' shit out of 15 supervillains without a problem, but another villain will always come along who thinks he will be the one to defeat the hero even though he's more of a wimp than the ones who were defeated before him? Doesn't make any damn sense. For that matter, the super heros are all in major cities... New York/Metropolis/Gotham, LA etc. so why doesn't a super villain go kick some ass in Kansas? By the time anyone got there he (or she) could do their evil shit and run.

- In Jedi, the Emperor tells Luke 2 different stories, 1 that he is supposed to kill Vader and take his place and/or 2 that he is supposed to kill him (the Emperor) and rule with Vader. Now granted, Vader still has some good in him, but that wasn't really brought to the surface until Luke was in serious danger. So, why didn't Vader cut up the Emperor's ass long before that and assume the role of supreme ruler?

- Speaking of oddities in the Jedi arena, if you've seen Clone Wars the animated series (and if you haven't you should, it's great) you saw Mace Windu take on a slew of robots and at one point he uses the Force to simply pull apart their screws and bolts and they fell to pieces. Why couldn't Obi-Wan do that to General Grevious? True he was partially alive, but he could have removed his robotic parts then he would have been seriously screwed.

See what being sick does to a person? Sad.
