Worlds Apart

Song in my head:
"Worlds Apart" by . . . And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

The roof fell out: it's been raining very hard off and on since mid-morning. Did some writing and tweaking between reading Britpop! chapters.

He said something along the lines of, "If you ever wanted to know how to make something independently, watch this movie." Not his exact words, but hugely inspiring.

Brother Joshua now has a blog. I played drums with him in Voigt and he currently plays in Chatterton.

These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
