I’m going on a little break for a few days, but be strong in my absence, and in the meantime, absorb yourself completely in one of the cooler sites I’ve discovered in recent days: Musicplasma.

Episode III, and the worst movies I've paid to see
The opening roll-up sequence for Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is now available on starwars.com, along with the roll-ups for all of the other episodes.

Documentaries
…in their own thread, so we don’t waylay the other one. Just to whet your appetite, ask me about any of these.
