Read the review

Perhaps the best review of the new Star Wars movie comes from Harry Knowles of Ain’t It Cool news. During the SXSW computer conference, he was ushered to a secret room where he was shown a beta release of the upcoming film. Many say this was a ploy by Lucasfilm to get some excitement going for the film around the Internet. Their plan worked very well.

Take a minute and read the review. Its an honest and fresh account from someone that genuinely loves Star Wars and wasn’t there to overanalyze the film and pick it apart. He watched it just to have fun. Whenever I see a film, I ask myself if I had fun watching it. If I did, then the movie did its job and I give it a high rating. Perhaps I’m a bit too liberal with my great reviews but it doesn’t take much at all for me to have fun.

Elsewhere, it is exactly one year today that my favorite author Douglas Adams died. I fondly remember the good times I had reading all five books in his Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy “trilogy.”

Adams brought us such great memories as Vogon poetry, Babel fish, Joo Janta peril sensitive sunglasses, Improbability physics, paranoid androids, elevators that suffered from the fear of heights and many more fun things. I miss him.

Now let me go find my towel.
