I'm currently undergoing something of a crisis in my sexual identity brought on by my new and raging crush on Eddie Izzard - a man who wears more makeup on a daily basis than I do.
But he's brilliant. And sexy. Disturbingly sexy. Hot ass bitch might be one way of describing him.

And then there was Lego.

Yes, I learned how to post Youtube videos to my lj today.
eta: Motherfucker. They gave Eddie Izzard the James Joyce Award in February and I fucking missed it. Of course, in February I didn't know who Eddie Izzard was except that bloke from Mystery Men. Bloody hell! Missed my chance to stalk the man in person. Fuck.

For reasons that don't need explaining here, I was looking up how long it was in movie time between The Phantom Menace and Attack of Clones. My memory of the movies was that it was something like six or seven years, which would have made Anakin about 16 or 17 and Padme about 21 or 22 (close the Natalie Portman's actual age during filming). According to the official site, it's 10 years between the first two films, making Anakin 20 and Padme 24, almost 25 - aka old enough to know better.
Even keeping in mind that Attack of the Clones was a poorly conceived, logic-free, soulless exercise in technical film-making (lovely blue screen work George, would be so lovely if you'd remember to include characterization and plot and oh, acting in your next film - oh, wait. Never. Mind.), what of the movie actually hung together in my mind did so because I believe the characters to be just young enough not to realized how entirely fucking assheaded their actions were.
I didn't realize that the movie could actually get worse in retrospect that it already was! Ptui!

... Is huge chucks of my childhood whistling past.
God I remember watching that live and being confused about Mark Hamill and Luke Skywalker - it was kind of like the Easter Bunny in that I was 95 per cent sure someone was having me on but there was that five per cent of my eight-year-old brain that didn't yet understand satire and farce and wasn't quite prepared to rule out the possibility that it could be so....
And this here also... and, of course, the ever classic, ever awesome, ever slightly disturbing when sung in public by grown ups at seemingly random intervals MnaMna.
Realize that I watched these all live when they first aired. I am that old - I remember the 70s.
Eta - OMGWTF - the Muppets, "Clocks" by Coldplay.
