If you’ve not seen it already, you will soon be sent a link to the Star Wars Kid.
And while we are ‘meme-ing’, what ever happened to those “Galactic Toss Monkeys”?

The rise of ‘synthespians’ takes a look at the growing trend and acceptance of computer generated characters. Gollum (Lord of the Rings), Dobby (an elf in Harry Potter), Yoda (Star Wars), etc.

“The Empire doesn’t want slaves or destruction or “evil.” It wants order.”
WARNING: Star Wars fans only, and please don’t think less of me, it’s an addiction, and I’ve tried everything to cure myself, to no avail.

“The Phantom Menace was a gold-leafed dud for Lucas”
Hello my name is Gordon. I’m a Star Wars fan.
OK, confession out of the road. This article reads well, and as I’ve already got tickets for May 16th, it makes little difference to whether or not I’ll actually go and see the movie. I just wish I could get the little niggling voice out of my head, the one that is saying that this is a carefully crafted piece of publicity, aimed squarely at gullible fans (read ‘me’). I hate that little cynical voice.

Five films to choose to take with me if I was stranded on a desert island.
- Shawshank Redemption
- Memento
- Rear Window
- Star Wars (Episode 4)
- Groundhog Day – for repeat viewing value.
Right DEFINITELY bedtime – night night!
bookmark_borderR.I.P. Sir Alec
Well we survived the weekend…just.
Not that we had the best start to Monday morning, Sir Alec Guinness is no longer with us. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. It is a true loss of a great character actor, and from all accounts, a great man. Oh and if you only know him from Star Wars – go and get some of his other films! Bridge over the River Kwai, The Ladykillers, Our Man in Havana and many more. His 6 roles in Kind Hearts and Coronets typefy his approach and mastering of charactering acting.
He will be missed.
