Blocks. And the absolute shock of what was happening on screen - was something that I can't even begin to tell people today about - it was something that had never been seen before - ever. Nor imagined. That has never happened again in my movie experience - I think the only shift like that would be in the future when 3D becomes a 4D experience and we can reach and look around a movie in a theater - that's what the experience would be like. What an experience I am so glad to have been a participate in/with. Can't wait for your part 2.OKLAHOMA WARDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04388705060394671969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204877038956107512.post-1167678679767543482010-07-12T14:46:12.790-07:002010-07-12T14:46:12.790-07:00I had a picture of us in costume.

I made it after "The Phantom Menace" came out, and I machined my own lightsabre for it. <br /><br />My life seems to have revolved around Star Wars in some aspect. The Matrix was the first movie to impact me in a similar way, though not to the same extent. It was something I could point to in explaining things about Zen that I have experienced, and are unable to be vocalized in a manner of comprehension. That's another subject though.<br /><br />In the end, this is all George's fault.
