a force marathon I have waited long enough. Today I will finally watch all six Star Wars movies in one long twelve and a half hour sitting. We bought a new TV a on Thursday (mille grazie, don Francesco), and I'm just now putting the armchair in front of the big screen and placing food and beverages in strategic positions. I wanted to get the Clone Wars cartoons and watch them in between Clones and Sith. It was not to be - I have also decided to forgo the two Ewok movies (are they supposed to be pre- or post-Battle of Endor anyway? So, Phantom Menace first, all the way through to Jedi. Can it be done? Can it physically be acheived? I bet George Lucas has never done it. We saw 'Crash' last night (the recent one, not the wierd-molesting-cars one; my old mate Belgian Tom used to love that film - but he was from Brugge, you know). Good movie (now there's an in-depth review). Makes you think a lot about the inadequacies of racist thinking, how prejudice across the board only begets prejudice, fear, anger, hatred. I wish the Jedi Council and the Sith Lords had sat down together and watched this. There migth have been a lot fewer arms lobbed off in the galaxy. UPDATE: I just finished watching them...took me from noon until quarter to three in the morning (my breaks were between Clones & Sith and between New Hope & Empire). Bloody-hell, that was a marathon. My mind is melted. They are NOT supposed to be watched like that. I guarantee George Lucas has never done it. I ate quite a bit of junk food (bet he's done THAT). I will write my notes about it on my using the force blog...but not right now...I need sleep...earned it, I have...
