Electronic Labyrinth

Yeah! I just saw the "Special Edition" of George Lucas' first feature "THX-1138" (or "Thex" to his close friends) on Sunday. Nich and I made the trek to the City to see it. It was great! I thought it was the best George Lucas Special Edition job yet. (Yes, better than the SW trilogy or the Amer. Graffiti SE, of which I would probably prefer the originals.) The added stuff really made most things a lot clearer, and at times even more suspenseful and better for the story. There was much usage of the widescreen format (big faces and big spaces!) so it was great to see on the big screen. Very 70's arty art film. Nice. It came out on DVD today apparently, so that might be the last we see of Thex in theaters. :/ George has an interesting interview about Thex and his career here.

Dave Menestrina (or "Meno" to some) has introduced me to "Site Feeding" which is basically (and correct me if I'm wrong) a way to use a program or plugin, sometimes called an Aggregator, to scan many blogs or newssites for updates so you don't have to. I think you can set how often it checks the sites. (I personally am not Aggregating, yet!) So if you are an Aggregator or Site-Feeder, refer to the link to the right!
