I am holding myself back...


(unlike this guy....)

I will probably only see the final Star Wars this weekend (or maybe even next week sometime.)

But I am very interested in this movie's meditation on how democracies can collapse into totalatarianism; and this visual exploration into the birth of one of modern western culture's fictional and mythic icons of evil.

Rise Lord Vader.

later...

.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ... And those words are made from the letters of our alphabet: a couple-dozen squiggles we can draw with the pen. This is the key! And the treasure, too, if we can only get our hands on it! It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
