Planet of the Apes

Okay, here I am, back upstairs from watching Fargo. Pretty good, didn't think the wife was dead at first though.

And muchly true as well... disturbing, eh?

Yeah, it was rather getting rather bizarre by the end.

It's a great film, but it wears me down to watch it... hardly an upbeat film. Relentless is more the term. Good triumphs, but you hardly feel great about it.

Actually The Elephant Man was THE MOST DEPRESSING film I have ever watched in my whole life. Nothing has ever come close. Have you seen it ?

Oh yeah... I was leaping about and whooping with laughter after that one.

I think the black and white photography really laid bare the reality of the story, but I'm sure it was still sugar-coated compared to Merrick's real life. Horrid squalor doesn't begin to describe it.

Good old John Hurt. He deserves a Star Wars part, actually.

Yeah, I think he would fit in pretty good.

Along with David Warner and Jude Law.

Maybe we could get jobs as assistants to Robin Gurland. 😂

Well, they wouldn't let me write any Star Wars.... seems very insular to me...

I write SW for myself....although my brother enjoys reading it. I'm working on a story right now about the end of ESB...Luke giving in to Vader instead of jumping off the gantry. Not giving in to the darkside, and he will end up back with the alliance...kind of a side-track before they rescue Han. I'm very nit-picky though...it has to read just right. And I have to figure out how to get him off the executor and back to the fleet. "Beyond Empire" is the working title, but I'll change it when I'm done.

Nice. I bet Leia isn't his sister in your world.

Ah, see through me you do !! 🙂

Fellow-writer empathy

Thats just a polite way of saying starving artist. Although I do have a day job. 😂

That's better than me...

It does pay the Visa bill. Well, some of it. 😂

We can all see Ush and Gundy`s talent in the role playing area. Me I`m just hanging in there struggeling, I`m not much of a writer, but its great fun to give it a try.
I love to read books though.
