Empirical
Good ol’ Denro pointed out this new video on YouTube’s Star Wars channel. During the summer of 1980, when I went to the movies to see something, I often ended up seeing The Empire Strikes Back instead.
There was also plenty of “snow” on the set of that other 1980 movie with Carrie Fisher, The Blues Brothers.
I Need a Doctor
I’m feeling faint from the after-effects of time travel, after revisiting this video from TEN YEARS AGO!
The Corbenite Maneuver
As a mere lad attending the 1971 Worldcon in Boston, I saw this experimental short film by the exceptionally talented artist Richard Corben, best known for his work in Heavy Metal. According to Corben’s wife, he died on December 2, age 80, following heart surgery.
Jedi Mind Trick?
Mark Hamill’s getting a lot of attention for this comment.
That debate was the worst thing I've ever seen & I was in The Star Wars Holiday Special.

Let’s hyperjump past the worst of it to the big finish, with Carrie proving she didn’t have her mom’s singing voice. Or her dad’s, come to think of it.
The Ex-Files
Mulder and Scully were a 90’s power couple like none other. They broke up when Duchovny left The X-Files in the middle of its 8th season. The sexiest interlude between them is in the pilot episode. I assume it was included to help sell the series.
