Anchorhead - your post made me want to watch Graffiti, which made me check out the Wiki page too... according to that, George wanted Marcia to cut the movie but ended up doing most of it himself after the studio-chosen editor left. ?

Also, the scenes in THX where THX and the other guy (Can't remember his name) are wandering away from the spotless prison and find the hologram guy, and especially the scene of THX racing from the biker cops at the end and climbing the tunnel are pretty great. The smoke curling around the vehicles, the muted sound - and the use of Mozart against the sunset/rise.

Glad to hear/see you're enjoying HTTE... the feel of the world (with respect to the OT as a whole, not just SW77, which probably matches better with the Daley novels and such) and the characters is pretty spot-on, I think.
