Interesting list of black hole films. I missed seeing all of them except for the Star Wars "prequels." Hated the first one and only watched the others because I see everything that Ewan McGregor does. I don't know if it's the prequels or if it's the passage of time, but even the original SW films don't seem to have held up for me... I was shocked to realize that when they came on the TV last year and I idly watched part of one of them. Suddenly the dialogue and wooden acting were all too obvious, whereas before I'd always given them a free pass as it were.
BTW, in the current film 500 Days of Summer, they use a brief clip/glimpse of Han Solo to very sweet/funny comic effect.
Congrats on the new book being on Amazon! Fun cover!
Edited again to add this link because it just occurred to me that it is relevant to SW. I am going to this tomorrow night. What makes it particularly exciting is that Adam (and his sister) was a very good friend of mine in elementary school, one year older than me. He is the one who got me interested to comic books and in sci fi... .my sci fi soulmate as it were. I never saw him after the 6th grade because we didn't live near each other. So excited to be going to this! http://www.oscars.org/events-exhibitions/events/2009/beckett.html
