Empire

[amphigori]

Feeling maudlin tonight so I put on The Empire Strikes Back.

Yep, undoubtedly my favourite movie of all time ever. It's beautiful to look at, it's engaging, it's well-paced, the special effects are gorgeous to me ... and on and on.

There's no part of this film I don't like.

Given that Leigh Bracket was one of the screenwriters for this, and also served as the screenwriter for El Dorado, one of my favourite Westerns, I think I need to see more of the films she's credited working on. If not some of her books. Though she seems to write Sci Fi and that's not a genre I usually like.

But here I am, watching Empire Strikes Back for the 34th time.

Empire is one of my comfort films too... i have no idea how many times i've seen it, but given how obsessive i was in general (especially when i was younger) it's probably more than 34. a lot more ;-)

I pretty much made up that number. I've no idea how many times I've seen it :)

Only 34 times? Well, maybe you have more of a life than I did!

Just poking around LJ for the first time in months and thought I'd say, 'hi'!

Life is good out our way (if not hectic)! I hope you and yours are doing well!

Hey sweets!

As above, I just made up that number. Dunno how many times I've really seen it.

Life is good! I'm engaged and will be tooling around North America for my honeymoon in 2011. If you're so inclined you're welcome to come to our wedding in Vegas! :)
