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 ;-)

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!
