For *years* I'd heard it lauded as the greatest film ever, so eventually I tuned in to a BBC2 airing and now, it's my favourite film ever. I go through phases where I watch it religiously and never cease to find new aspects that enthral me. From the cinematography to the screen-writing. Truly epic.

This pops up on BBC1/BBC3 periodically and its really grown on me to the point that I now rank it amongst my faves. Swayze succeeds in making Bodhi a charismatic villain - something that many actors can't always pull off. Oh and the Nixon impersonator is a riot! 😁

Especially "Revenge of the Sith" where the calculating chancellor capitalises on an assassination attempt to finally push through his long coveted agenda…

George McFly, the Jester Version?

John Landis tipped his hat to Wilder by including a snippet from Sunset Boulevard during a sequence* in Trading Places as holiday TV that's watched by a couple of the characters. *(This sequence is not present in the theatrical version.)

It began much earlier than that. "Network" by Sidney Lumet contains a scene that discusses the issue - and it was made 50 years ago. Decades prior, Walter Lippmann and Edward Bernays wrote of the need to concentrate matters concerning decision making within a "specialised" minority of society.

Something along the lines of this scenario? ☺️ A friend described me as a super-extrovert and although my Myers-Briggs test definitely positions me on the extrovert spectrum, a secluded life like this certainly holds an appeal. I'd have no excuse not to work through my book collection…

With a bit of digging, the originals can be found in HD/true 4K. Temuera Morrison is a great actor but Jason Wingreen nails it as the badass voice of Boba Fett in the original version of TESB. I can't fathom why Lucas altered the film instead instead of just writing AOTC without continuity issues.

While banning social media seems like the easy solution, in fact it's letting Big Tech off the hook and placing the burden to protect themselves on children and families. That's how we see it. What do you think?
