The big set piece scenes where the Death Star's being assembled and the star destroyers crashing into each other are instances that appeal to the child in me

Pretty sure I've posted this here once before. OTOH Star Wars is on repeat...

We just watched a great documentary "Nightmares in Red, White and Blue" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1337117/ about the history of horror films in America. I was expecting nothing more than a bunch of strung-together clips and it was certainly that, but there was a partly successful attempt to link trends in audience taste to larger socio-political phenomena (e.g., the sexual revolution, vietnam war, nixon, reagan etc), skillfully narrated by Lance Henrikson.

Looks interesting. Based on a book with the same name. I had a quick look around for links but it's been taken down most places :(

Oh, and schlockmeister Roger Corman gets special mention in the documentary.

I once worked briefly as a contract animator for someone who used to be an assistant producer to R.C. The mofo tried to stiff me, so I withheld source files until payment.

Did he try to explain the value of the publicity you'd get by working for the man, or was he just an honest thief and liar?

He was a gentle Buddhist, slippery as an eel. Claimed he had cash-flow problems.

But his cash flow improved when you introduced him to file flow problems?

Yeah, I'm sure I've seen that before.  :-)

I wish I had the money to throw at enough Lego just to throw it around.

Are the bricks damaged or do they just come apart? I always though they were brittle, unless subjected to great pressure by a bare human foot.

Most lego bricks are sturdy and really hard wearing in and of themselves, they are easy to take apart unless bolstered by other bricks/linkages in such a way to increase strength (crossmembers attached with pins etc). However, if you really wanted to you could snap some of the thinner plates and the axles.
