Thoughts on THE FORCE AWAKENS, episode I: The Phantom Lucas
So. The Force Awakens. I liked it. A lot. I loved a lot of the things in it. But I don’t think I loved it, overall. It’s a weird thing, seeing Star Wars just keep on truckin’. I had mostly … Continue reading
“Let’s get the shit kicked out of us by love!” (a repost)
(Goodness! I wrote this post almost seven years ago! But I stand by every word: Love Actually is the best Christmas movie ever, and I will entertain exactly zero debate on this point.) So. Love Actually. This is one of … Continue reading
May the SQUEEEE be with you!
So of course I watched it: Random reactions: :: Interesting how the first couple of trailers were about revving up the excitement level for the return of Star Wars, with money shots like the crashed Star Destroyer, the Millennium Falcon … Continue reading
