Two great ones from my George Carlin desk calendar:

"Think of how strange we'd look if all the cuts, burns, scrapes, bruises, scratches, bumps, gashes, and scabs we ever had suddenly reappeared on our bodies at the same time."

"A crazy person doesn't really lose his mind. It just becomes something more entertaining."

IF YOU HAVENT SEEN STAR WARS EPISODE 3/REVENGE OF THE SITH YET, DON'T READ THIS NEXT PART TO AVOID SPOILING IT FOR YOURSELF.

+++++++++++

So tonight before bed Joy and I watched Return of the Jedi from when Vader brings Luke to the Emperor on Death Star 2 to the end (with ep3 still fresh in our minds.)
What a treat.

And YET ANOTHER fantastic cyclical technique with Anakin watching the Emperor frying someone (Mace in ep3, Luke in ep4), trying to decide what to do, yet THIS time he chooses to stop the Emperor. I never thought of that similarity to ep6 when I was watching ep3 in the theater. The actual duration of time that the frying is happening and now two times in his life anakin just wacthes Palpatine doing it and being frozen in confusion.

Sounds easy and simple on paper here, but when you watch it, man does it resonate so much deeper now.

And best of all...after seeing ep3, seeing Anakin in young form at the end of Jedi as a ghost makes TOTAL comfortable sense now. Any weirdness I had was quelled. Because the Anakin ghost has the same essence and facial looks as he did so much of the time in ep3.

How frickin awesome.

But Joy did say that just that bit of Jedi she watched was better "because it was real people and characters. Its more fun." The stormtroopers and Ewoks, etc, the Emperor's throne room set, etc. I.e. Everything's not CG.
Sweeeeeeet.
