Have you checked out Kill Hannah yet?
Nope, not yet. I will in the next week or so.
Off I go, to make sure I have all my stuff together for the new job tomorrow.

Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hee.
Moviemaker George Lucas wants his first Star Wars sequel banned, as he is so disappointed with its quality. The one-off, two-hour-long The Star Wars Holiday Special was originally screened on the CBS network in 1978 and tells the story of Chewbacca's journey home with Hans Solo to celebrate Life Day with his family. During the course of the much-maligned movie, Carrie Fisher's beautiful Leia is seen reducing Hans Solo and Luke Skywalker to tears with a song. A contributor on the Star Wars website comments, "The Holiday Special has always been the red-headed step child of the Star Wars family." While a source at LucasFilm adds, "The Holiday Special was the biggest f***-up ever. The Force was definitely not with Mr. Lucas the day that doozy was born."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Man, I effin' love the Holiday Special.
It's so painfully bad.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I saw a copy of that at Quimbys (the Chicago comic book store Hec is gonna do his reading in) but it was gone before I could buy it.
I've heard that its suckitude truely is a thing of wonder....

Oh Lord, it was so bad...
Though curiously more enjoyable than the prequels despite its crapitude.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
One thing that I noticed about both Moulin Rouge and A Knights Tale was that the big song, the one that truly sealed the love deal, was a Bowie song. IJS.

PSA: Tivo tells me that Harold and Maude is on Bravo tonight at 4 AM. It's well worth capturing to view later/keep, even.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
P-C, I so totally need to make out with you when I come visit. Moulin Rouge is among the bestest movie musicals ever (even if I'm not totally there with you on Nicole Kidman.).
I have a dream, though, of one day a woman at the turn of the century dying of something other than consumption.

Hey. New board.
Come now, DebetEsse, there were no disesases in the early 20th except TB. You should know THAT.
That's because TB always hit the pretty prostitutes. As far as I can tell. God was punishing them, you see. Now, God has given up on prostitutes, and only punishes gay people. Thus, AIDS is the disease of the day.
It's so simple if you look at it from the right perspective.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Plus, the Holiday Special had the spectacularly out-of-context Dan Ackroyd's Julia Child bit. Who couldn't love that?
