took the boy to see star wars: clone wars in the theater. He really wanted to see it that way instead of on tv, so we went. ate overpriced pizza at sbarro, then saw the movie. it was better than any of the live action prequels, for sure, but seemed to lag on a little in the last half hour or so. i was well and truly glad when it was over, but glad i took him because star wars is an obsession with him right now like nothing i have ever seen him latch onto before. good for him, every boy should have something like that, and star wars is clearly it. even if it baffles me why he (or anyone) would prefer star wars to star trek.
