well, george lucas is at it again, fiddling with already fine movies, adding digital effects to try and better capture his vision. this time it’s the already perfect thx-1138 getting the treatment. it will be re-released in theaters, and a new directors cut dvd is also nigh. i love this movie. in thematically related linkage i also happened to come across a nice history of another dystopian masterpiece, my fathers favorite movie, brazil. i had no idea tom stoppard (who wrote rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead, one of my favorite plays / movies) co-wrote brazil. you learn something new every day in this dystopia of ours.
