“After a cruel childhood, one must reinvent oneself. Then reimagine the world.”

Paterson (2016)

“My wife changes the way that I dress. She makes me dress nicer than I want to dress. I feel like I perpetually dress like a 14-year-old boy, and she makes me stand up straight and wear clean clothes”

When a Woman Ascends the Stairs (Mikio Naruse, 1960)

Star Wars Adventures: Forces of Destiny - Rey

I’m gonna breach the fiction-reality barrier, jump into the GFFA, travel back in time, and fight Rey’s parents

“Thor: Ragnarok” special feature: Filming Moments with Taika Waititi

Here’s a preview of Rey Days with all the final touches (toning). This is the first part, when Rey has just been left with Plutt and finds the rebel helmet (at least, my version of it).

I love teeny, indignant Rey.

“[Luke] is basically tailoring this projection to have maximum effect on Kylo,” Johnson explained. “He knows that Kylo’s Achilles heel is his rage, and so that’s why he kind of makes himself look younger, the way Kylo would’ve last seen him in their confrontation at the temple,  and that’s why he decided to bring Kylo’s grandfather’s lightsaber down there – the lightsaber that Kylo screamed at Rey, ‘that’s mine, that belongs to me.’” As far as Johnson’s concerned, Luke believes that Anakin’s lightsaber will have a much more visceral impact on the erstwhile Ben Solo than Luke’s own green blade.

But why did Kylo fall for his uncle’s Force Illusion when he saw Anakin’s lightsaber split in half right in front of him? Because, Johnson pointed out, he didn’t actually see it.

“We as an audience saw that… The truth is, we see the lightsaber split in half – Kylo sees a blinding flash of light and is knocked unconscious, and then Rey takes the lightsaber away before he wakes up,” he said. “So if you really want to dig into it and get an explanation, you can say that he doesn’t 100 percent know what happened to the lightsaber.”

To kiss well one must kiss solely. No groping hands or stammering hearts. The lips and the lips alone are the pleasure. Passion is sweeter split strand by strand. Divided and re-divided like mercury then gathered up only at the last moment.

I remember as soon as Rose could walk she demanded that I make room in the nest of pillows and blankets I’d made in our pod’s observation dome for her.  You couldn’t see the sky from my bed, but a few stars were always visible from the dome, even during the day.  At night, the galaxy was spilled out over our heads, like someone nocked over a giant bucket of crystal ore.  Rose and I used to huddle up and look into forever, and I’d tell her the names of the stars until her breathing slowed and I knew she was asleep.
