Telling the truth about this movie is dangerous business. Honesty & popularity don't go hand in hand.

totally unprofessional, and a good indication that they were correct to switch contractors. Bring it to the Mgmt company and tell them to inform vendors that all communications besides logistics are to go through management.

exactly! Same-same with SO many elements of BACK TO THE FUTURE, as it turns out.

We always want some comforting master plan and big picture. But there is no master plan, ever, about anything, and the big picture is a photograph of the master plan. Things that work, I think, are discovered & found in process and end up FEELING like a grand design when finished.

when something really works, is it generally because you see it distinctly in your head beforehand, or are there pieces you've "discovered" in the process that also ended up being favorites?

It's so patently absurd and fundamentally *non-judicial* on its face; the whole ruling reads like a Lewis Carroll THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS passage at absurdity that only has the pomp of high-minded language. Just insane. "We're all mad here," now.

Read THE ANNOTATED STAR WARS to see how very much, since the beginning, Lucas was a "raw idea" man that NEEDED lots of people to smooth out or re-direct; he would then run with that. There was never a "grand vision." That was a myth he let Campbell create,then deluded himself into buying into.

My kids' dreams often involve their phones as things in the dream. Mine never do; it's funny what things are experiential givens, generationally.

1989, with my cousins and Cain/Mordred-like evil half-brother. I, of course, am in the Norm Breyfogle Batman shirt. Later on, Norm would become a good friend and I miss him a lot.

So much of my love for the movies is just chasing the dragon of the pulse-pounding, palm-sweaty fear & exhilaration 8 year me felt in the 3rd row of the theater in 1981, as this Medusa came on the screen. Harryhausen was an artist and a wizard.

he's strong and charismatic and can win. And if he won, he'd put the right justices in, and be aggro against the opposition that sought to blow up his admin's plan. I kinda don't care what's in his heart or if he's full of shit.

In short, people can only disappoint you when you fully expect them to be or act differently. Once they don't, continued disappointment (or despair) is on the person feeling that; they told or showed you once.

Growing up jewish in non-jewish areas has inured me to the reality that you're never *quite* safe, even amongst mostly friendly & mostly simpatico folks, and that all alliances are qualified alliances. That said, qualified alliances are still things to not take for granted or abandon.

I think I remember hearing or reading that Roger Ailes saying that the founding idea of FOX News was "if a news agency with our viewpoints were in place, Nixon would have never needed to resign."

I am so frustrated with PROMETHEA; it is at once my favorite Alan Moore thing and my biggest disappointment, when it collapses on its own meta and becomes a kind of ATLAS SHRUGGED style didactic direct address to the reader, except with positive mysticism instead of evil selfishness.
