In a Galaxy, far, far away...

Item of note:

Individuals outfitted with camping gear have already formed a line outside Grauman's Chinese. It is more than seven weeks until the premier of Episode Three. There is also a nasty rumor that LucasFilm is cutting a deal with another Hollywood theater complex to premier it's film there, making the campers look like asses, but they are not budging, as similar stories erupted for Episode One and the film eventually Did premier at the Chinese.

This actually was a topic of discussion around the CNC Router( We don't have a water cooler). I let it slip that I've been to the Chinese.

"No Shit?!"

"Yep. 1977. The opening for Star Wars. I was six."

"Wow. How was it?"

"I don't remember much but a huge black marquee with Star Wars on it.... and crying because the Stormtroopers scared the crap out of me..."


I don't know which would be more impressive; being there for the premier of Star Wars, or being there during the filming of the climax of Blazing Saddles.

On Douglas Fairbanks:

"How could he do such fantastic stunts, with such little feet?!"


Can you tell I racked out early and now am fucked?
