Ma Vie En Rose

One of the conundrums that eternally draws me back in is where people should draw the line between being themselves and being the person they need to be to get what they want.

Commonly Shatner

William Shatner sings "Common People" by Pulp.  I thought it'd be funny, but actually it's rather good.

Star Wars

The title of the final Star Wars movie has been announced, making them (in order)

1. The Phantom Menace


2. Attack of the Clones


3. Revenge of the Sith


4. A New Hope


5. The Empire Strikes Back


6. Return of the Jedi

Which reads like chapter headings of a saturday morning adventure series.  Which is just perfect.  A New Hope never really worked for me before, but it now makes perfect sense in context.

As a note - I liked the first film except for the attempts at comedy, which spoil it a fair amount for me.  I like the second film pretty much end-to-end. 

I love the way that the arc-plot starts behind the scenes in the first movie and that so far the Jedi have been furthering the plans of the Sith.

A Sound of Trailers

Trailer for A Sound of Thunder here.  Takes Bradbury's original premise and adds in huge scary monsters.

What more could you ask for?
