Okay, I'm still on Tim's account clearing out his dead blogs but will be back to get you on my page as well.<br /><br />Happy Christmas. And I do agree with you about having Tim as a camera man. It does help to have that person there.<br /><br />Thanks for those comments. <br /><br />Okay .. back to deleting dead blogs on his account.

I think even the Nolan trilogy poked some fun at the genre ("And yes, Mr. Wayne, it comes in black [color], too.") while still taking the subject matter seriously.<br /><br />The only cut-out shape we could find was a fat humanoid-type...but we managed to make it work. Back in Seattle we have more cut-outs, including a bell I'm sure, and we'll try your stormtrooper improv at some future date.<br />: )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-71606877006723199782014-12-11T05:21:48.555-08:002014-12-11T05:21:48.555-08:00@ Darn:

He, too, has never seen the prequel trilogy (he was a big fan of the original films) and I advised him not to bother...if you somehow managed to miss them, there's not much you're really missing by not having them in your brain.<br /><br />That being said, I found many things to like in those films.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-42203580266994207642014-12-11T05:17:07.909-08:002014-12-11T05:17:07.909-08:00@ Whisk:

I thought a baking post might bring you over to my neck o the woods.<br />; )<br /><br />I could post a whole series on living in Paraguay, but I'm afraid it would sound like a bunch of bitching and moaning...as a lifelong American I've gotten spoiled by things the Paraguayans probably don't even miss (seeing as how they've never had 'em). I'm whiny enough as it is without subjecting the readers to too much of that!JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-90149452811047863962014-12-10T17:09:32.640-08:002014-12-10T17:09:32.640-08:00Last summer, we used a Christmas bell cookie cutte...Last summer, we used a Christmas bell cookie cutter and some chocolate sauce decoration to make Darth Vader and Stormtrooper helmet cookies. Bet your son would like that.<br /><br />And I agree about the humor/goofiness being necessary for good space opera. It needs to be comedy (in the Ancient Greek dramatic sense), rather than tragedy. <br /><br />And the people MAKING the movie need to take it seriously, so that when the characters don't take their situation seriously it feels genuine. Avengers and GotG both hit that sweet spot there, and I'm glad they did. If they'd tried to mimic Nolan's Dark Knight in style/tone with Avengers, if would have bombed, IMO.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-88220463430776282082014-12-10T14:53:22.796-08:002014-12-10T14:53:22.796-08:00I would enjoy your post about living in an area th...I would enjoy your post about living in an area that you do.

I watched the three original Star Wars as a kid (I'm 41). I watched the Phantom Menace but couldn't get into it. Never bothered to watch the next two movies. I loved the original Star Trek series but was never enthused about the newer versions. Darnizhaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15005189125696185700noreply@blogger.com
