[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Thirty-five years ago, moviegoers first paid to see a tale from a long time ago, in a galaxy far away. It changed the life of John Booth, author of Collect All 21: Memoirs of a Star Wars Geek.

NPR’s Morning Edition covered the 35th anniversary of A New Hope with a brief  segment toward the end of yesterday’s program.

I LOVED this scene SO MUCH. God, Coulson cracked me up.

  • Agent Coulson: hey, I just met you
  • Agent Coulson: and this is crazy
  • Steve Rogers:
  • Agent Coulson: but I watched you sleeping
  • Agent Coulson: so sign these maybe

So it seems time to pronounce a rule about American popular culture: the Golden Forty-Year Rule. The prime site of nostalgia is always whatever happened, or is thought to have happened, in the decade between forty and fifty years past… And so, if we can hang on, it will be in the twenty-fifties that the manners and meanings of the Obama era will be truly revealed: only then will we know our own essence. A small, attentive child, in a stroller on some Brooklyn playground or Minneapolis street, is already recording the stray images and sounds of this era: Michelle’s upper arms, the baritone crooning sound of NPR, people sipping lattes (which a later decade will know as poison) at 10 A.M.—manners as strange and beautiful as smoking in restaurants and drinking Scotch at 3 P.M. seem to us. A series or a movie must already be simmering in her head, with its characters showing off their iPads and staring at their flat screens: absurdly antiquated and dated, they will seem, but so touching in their aspiration to the absolutely modern. Forty years from now, we’ll know, at last, how we looked and sounded and made love, and who we really were. What “Mad Men” Shows About American Pop Culture | The New Yorker (via kateoplis)

Ralph McQuarrie, remembered

McQuarrie’s expansive body of work — including character, creature, vehicle, and setting designs for A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi — has left an indelible mark on the world’s imagination, creating what can only be called the unmistakable ‘Star Wars aesthetic.”

An incredible visionary is gone and the world is less creative because of it. RIP Ralph.

“The Avengers — that’s what we call ourselves. ‘Earth’s Mightiest Heroes,’ I think.”

— Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), The Avengers (2012)

THERE ARE SO MANY EVENS I FUCKING CAN’T.

“I have an army.”

“We have a Hulk.”

Okay, I’ll admit it, I might see this movie.
