No context whatsoever. That page had no other story attached. It was from "Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are" where a guru in the desert tells a kid about how much worse all these other persons' lives are. Harry Haddow apparently has bad Gizz. End of character development.

And I love you most of all. But let's not get all Brokeback.
Semi-off topic: For those of you out there who hate "The Sound of Music" or have friends who do, simply look at it from a slightly different perspective. If you view it as the story of a hot young nun who leaves the convent to marry a wealthy older sailor and deliver a sly musical "fuck you" to the Nazis before running off to Vermont, it's pretty cool.

I've gotta give this description to the missus. Sound of Music is her favorite film, so she'll love this new description, though to me it sounds like the tagline for the Michael Bay remake. I can hear Don LaFontaine delivering your writeup now, along with, "In a world where love is forbidden ..." Then a graphic of a musical note morphing into a swastika, followed by a BIG EXPLOSION. "The Sound of Music ... It's more than meets the ear."

Spider-Man 2.1 - Extended Cut

Is it just me or does this sound like the most gratuitous extended cut yet? I didn't see it on TV but I was really interested in it. I spent some time last week Googling the added scenes and it sounds like complete fluff except for Jameson in the suit. Do I REALLY need to see Mary Jane going shoe shopping? Kirsten's phoned-in performance notwithstanding, the theatrical cut was damn near pitch-perfect. This EE doesn't sound like a LOTR or Superman or Dances With Wolves or James Cameron film, where the extensions bring a whole new level of depth to the characters and situations. It sounds like a pretty blatant stop at the Spidey-Fan ATM to help offset the cost of Spidey 3.

Getting too old for this sort of thing?

I remember the line in my pissant hometown for Empire on opening day. All of the kids in my neighborhood were in that line. It must have been 100 yards long. But when it came to Star Wars, mom took me to the nearest "big" town 20 miles away to see it. It was sold out at the first theatre we went to so she found another one showing it. She still talks to this day about how my mouth hung open speechless at the start of it. I recall some other kid having to be taken out when R2 was shot by the Jawas, but again, I was simply transfixed. Silent as a tomb.

Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw on the big screen. Later that year I saw Watership Down and Superman. But Star Wars has the distinct place in my heart of being the first time I ever saw a big screen. I remember the hype. I still have the Kenner action figures (R2-D2 was my first). I remember Donny & Marie spoofing Star Wars. I remember missing the Star Wars Holiday Special and hearing all about it from my next-door neighbor. It sounded great, with awesome scenes of the cantina characters and a guy who drank from the top of his head. I will only be too old for this sort of thing when I'm pushing up daisies.
