I always liked the special effects.
Robert Preston was such a ham in that film.

I've loved this movie from the first time I saw it.

It's one of my favorite retellings of the Arthur legend.

This story was written last year. I don’t know if anything was done this year for its 30th anniversary.

I happened to watch it this weekend and was impressed. It’s just a good story. One thing that stood out was that the girl responded to her guy’s heroism by choosing to be with him and to follow him, and that this happened without irony.

I totally agree. I watched THX1138 the other day and was not pleased with Lucas’s “improvements”. The original has such a subtle genius to it that you wonder how the same guy could have chosen to screw it up like that. Apparently the only version Lucas has allowed to be released on DVD is the updated one. The original can only be seen on VHS or I guess maybe laser disk.

At the panel, he talked to the intimate audience about how he got into acting and how his previous work in the horror sequel Halloween II (1981) lead directly to Guest becoming The Last Starfighter.

"So I kind of got Starfighter and Halloween II together. One lead to the other thanks to Nick."

Lead [leed] - verb in the present-tense.
Led [led] - verb in the past-tense.
Lead [led] - noun.

Led Zeppelin [] - awesome.
