Also, this was the mid-1970s, and I was a severe film fan, and I was as likely to go see _All the President's Men_ or _Serpico_ as _Star Wars_.
I truly couldn't afford (or have the freedom) to see many movies before about 1980. After that, and even now, I see almost everything, it seems.
So while I liked the first _Star Wars_ movies, it wasn't with the all-consuming love or passion that people who were only a year or two younger than I did.
Empire came, for me, at just the right time. I was becoming an enormous fan of the space opera, and of fantasy, in general (it is a mistake to see the Star Wars films as SF).
I do like that title for the next Best Of. Makes me think of all the pagan-laced kids' TV we got over here in the seventies. And for the title alone, I'd also read that Pugmire (would you mind telling me what collection it's in?). Brings to mind Aickman's story The Stains. But I doubt they're similar.
Yellowbrickroad sounds fascinating. Curious to see a film you find disturbing... I'd like to see your influence on it (and not to brown-nose, but I'm working on something now I can see you've influenced somewhat.)

It's a long title, but it's the one I like for now.

I'm curious as to your thoughts on the end of season 1 of American Horror Story. I won't comment as to not spoil anything if you've not seen it.
Yeah, I've not said because I want to avoid spoilers. I will say that I loved it, and especially appreciated what felt like an homage to Beetlejuice.
I had been avoiding it because it was panned by reviewers,
Usually, reviewers are idiots.

As long as we still dream our dreams, they still have the chance to come true one day.
Not so sure of that, but perhaps.
