Bad: Was klutzy again. managed to offend a friend with an e-gift (ok, only I could do something like that and it wasn't even intentional), didn't do any writing!
Good: Had some ideas, avoided an awkward meeting with all 3 of my ex-fiances (well, it became 3 separate lunches instead) and caught Star Wars!
My take on Star Wars: The Force Awakens :
Great plot. Lots of parallels and self-referential allusions. The patricide in the case of killing off ___ ___ (I do have some self-preservation instincts you know) by ____ ___.
Is the new heroine Rey going to be part of another replay of Leia/Luke? The movie was fast paced as would be expected of an Abrams production and the Kasdan/Abrams collaboration seems to ensure a tight storyline. Very in the spirit of Return of the Jedi and the original series. Brave destruction of the Republic which creates expectation of the next part of the trilogy. Best of all, seems to suggest sweeping away the relics of the past without losing the mythic arc.
